Version 7 is REALLY OLD and no longer supported... and may not work on a modern operating system

Is your computer Mac or Windows and what is the operating system version?

IF you have Windows

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 or Windows 11
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

If your problem is not related to the original thread, you should be creating your own thread. The original topic you are replying to is 5 years old. 

With that said, Elements 11 will not work on a new Macbook. PE 11 came out in 2012 and far pre-dates your new computer. The new version is about the equivilent of PE 18. You will need to upgrade to continue using Photoshop Elements.
