Trying to reinstall Photoshop Elements 2019 on my iMac after a clean install of Mac OS

Greetings, I am having an issue reinstalling my Photoshop Elements 2019 app on my 27" iMac after doing a clean install of the Mac OS. I had Elements running/working on the previous instance on my iMac before I did the clean install and now I tried to download the installer again from Adobe and install it, but after I get it installed, the first window pops open and I go to start the photo editor and I get an error: "Your applicatioin install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application" (see attached)

 

I deleted the app and tried another install, but got the same issue. How do I reinstall this product to working order after doing a clean, reinstall, of my Mac operating system? (Mac OS 10.15.4)

The software is not depreciated. In fact I’m still using PSE 2019, albeit on Mac OS Mojave. I can sympathise if the clean install meant upgrading to Catalina. Apple has been pushing out warnings for a long time about 32 bit components no longer functioning. While PSE 2019 is a 64 bit app the installers are 32 bit which makes it impossible to re-install. A Creative Cloud subscription is a good way to go as it avoids another capital outlay, although I feel your disappointment.

I have decided to just add the all apps subscription to my Creative Cloud subscription to avoid buying something and having it get depreciated the very next year.
