Error installing PSE 10 on Mac

[Kegan555]

When trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my Mac... I see "“Install” can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image."

I've tried following solutions on here but nothing has worked so far, I've tried install > show package content > Contents > Mac OS > Install... this shows the same error message that install can't be opened.

I'm not sure what else to try?

Thanks in advance

Exactly which version of the operating system?

Below is about CS6 (and earlier) but your PSE-10 is about the same age

CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan or later operating systems

-which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

-Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or Sierra

--Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

--READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required

Thank you, the solution above that suggested looking for a log file, didn't work, for some reason there was no log file at least nothing I could locate using the suggested solutions.

I did manage to install PSE 10 eventually by doing the following:

• Mounting PSE 10
• Double clicking on icon
• Right clicking and selecting Show Package Content
• Navigating through Content > Mac OS

Opening Terminal (I just searched on my Mac)

• Drag the install file from the Mac OS folder into terminal
• Press return

This kicked the installer into gear and I finally have it installed
