Photoshop cs4 closes after accepting licencing agreement.

Alright, so I've been using this student licensed copy of CS4 for the last 4 years or so now if this licensing page is to be believed.  In any case I have just moved over to a new computer and have been having nothing but problems installing Photoshop.  First attempts resulting in the disk just not being recognized, second batch resulting in the very helpful and descriptive "Error: 6". Now after finally getting the program to open in some respects, it just opens a licensing agreement, which I accept, and then nothing happens.

I have uninstalled and installed the program more times than I have cared to keep track of, even running the cleaner tool in between, making sure to reboot along the way.  The key has been deactivated on the previous computer, and when opening I have been doing so as an administrator.

As of now, I've searched for a solution with the closest result being how to disable the licensing agreement from popping up in the first place, which resulted in absolutely nothing happening when opening the program, and that "fix" has been reverted, and occurred no less than 1 re-install attempt ago.
