I have an old version of Adobe Creative Suite 2.3, which I have been running on my original MacPro until it died last week. I have a new MacPro, but when I try and install Adobe Creative Suites 2.3 I get the message "you can't open the application "Adobe Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Can anyone help with this problem?

    PowerPC and Intel have completely different architectures.  You cannot run PPC applications on an Intel Mac.  Unlike Windows, Apple does not offer any compatibility options, so you will need to get a newer software version.
