Question

Photoshop 5.0 won't install

Error message says "you can’t open the application “(null)” because it may be damaged or incomplete."

That's what happens when I hit install from the menu the disk gave me.

I also have the serial number

    if that's ps cs5, re-install.

    if that's really ps 5 it's probabaly too old to install on the os you're using unless the os is really old or you can use compatibility mode to mimic an old os.

    Download and installation help for Adobe links

    Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

    It is Photoshop 5.0 LE. And I have a 2012 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.2

    If I need to change the compatibility, how do I do that?

    Compatibility Modes are a PC feature so not available if you are using a Mac. Photoshop 5 LE is too old to work under OSX10.9. There is nothing you can do about.
