Installer for old version of Photoshop Elements

I'm trying migrate from my old laptop (which is now broken) to a newer one, and I am trying to put the same software on it.

I have a copy of Elements 5 (yes, I know it's old but I'm used to it and having several work-in-progress using it) but I get a CRC error on old old installation disk. This only managed a partial installation as a result.

I tried the 5.0.2 update from your site but it says my installation is incomplete.

Is there a full version 5 installer I can download?

My newer system is only Windows 7 so there shouldn't be any problems that I can think of (based on portability of other software).

I was hoping that a full version was available since there was a 5.0.2 update available. Suspecting that I might be out of luck, I even looked for a non-official copy but no one seems to have saved one

Ok. Then why can you not install via the CD?

The CD must have a damage (not visible) as it pauses with a CRC checksum error. This prevents the main part of the installation from completing but it does carry on to the next stage of installing shared files.

When I look at what has been installed, the most obvious omission is any EXE file

The installer only goes back to v.7

Download Photoshop Elements 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, and 7

It is problematic that v.5 would function on a modern operating system even if you were able to install it.
