Unable to complete re-install of Photoshop CS6 extended on new Win-11 PC

[marcelo_3878]

Had to get a new PC since my current PC would not support Win-11... Am re-installing all my 'old' applications that I was using on the prior PC. My Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended seems to start the installtion but when it gets to the final stages of popping up a link to log into my Adobe account, the page just stays stuck in a spinning blue circle and the installtion never completes (screen-snip attached). I have no issues logging into my Adobe account by opening a new browser window, but that does nothing to help complete the installtion.  😞

I've seen this reported by other users on Win11.

CS6 was built for use on Win XP & Win7, not Win11 with all the latest security enhancements. There could be a problem with other apps like your antivirus or firewall that are blocking your ability to connect with Adobe's servers.
