Please help me unstuck from the 41 error when installing!

I will keep High Sierra for now since other programs are depending on that older Osx for now so it is for me out of the question to Updrade the Osx in order to have a newer version of Photoshop.

I have downloaded this installer "AdobePhotoshop20-mul.dmg" which is suppose to be the CC2019 installer, which I found on this page which was recommended on this forum.

I get the "41 error" during trying to install;

I am installing using my main user which is an admin profile.

I HAVE TRIED THIS:

I have tried to repair Creative Cloud via the "repair" option which you get when you try to run the "uninstall Creative Cloud" fule. I have tried to install previous versions of CC (2018) which worked btw, but I really would like the 2019 CC of Photoshop, so then I did uninstall CC 2018 again.

I have tried a lot, so please guys, how to solve this?

Thank you @jane-e , I did not follow the guidelines you are recommending above, I was not aware of them. Anyways the ".dmg" install file: "AdobePhotoshop20-mul.dmg" did download at "1 755 867 476 byte (1,76 GB) and the DMG verified which OSX did without any errors, so it is hard to believe that anything could be wrong with the installer file..... And it does start to install, but ends with the 41 Error not being able to complete the installation. So I am puzzeled how such things as browsers settings could have anything to do with it.....

I have heard it is possible to copy the Adobe CC 2019 folder in the programs Folder (where all the apps are stored) from another mac with Photoshop already installed and that would solve the install problems. You just move the content of that folder to for example your High Sierra Programs folder.

It should also work with High Sierra. Copy the entire Photoshop folder (for example from your Ventura Mac @Gardanne . This does not breach copy right since it would only work with your Adobe Id connected to it. @Olivier29640528u9fl I hope this help for you also 🙏🍀! Good luck!

indeed it didn't work. And further research and attempts at getting help by the adobe online chat led me to the conclusion that the oldest OS version that can be used with the adobe apps now is 10.15. Before that we, dear valued costumers, are just dead meat. Thank you so much Adobe for this endless push towards more and more consumerism. Who cares for the planet... Drives me nuts.
