CS5 extended

[whall2]

Hello

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to complete the installation of CS5 extended on a new Mac book pro.

I am able to download the installer but receive an error message that states.... 'install" can't be opened. you should eject the disk image. "install is on the disk image....

but when I click eject disk image  the entire install option is removed.  any help or suggestions that would allow me to complete the install

thanks

Sure, William.  There's a lot going on when you attempt to install old Adobe software onto OSX 10.12

1. To open the DMG, right-click on it and choose "Open" from the context menu to mount the disc.

2. Follow the instructions for the CS5 installer here: Installing Creative Suite on macOS 10.12 (Sierra)

Hello

Thank you for your prompt response.

Sadly, for me, it still doesn't work. I follow the instructions

specifically and my terminal window looks quite a bit different from the

one posted in the instructions. See attached image. Could it be a problem

with the dmg file itself?

Thx.

I do not  see the image.  Here's how to post a screenshot if you are new to the forums:

For mounting CS5 (unsigned or unidentified developers) DMGs in Sierra, please look at this article:

Hello. Again thanks for the prompt and consistent help.  I am forever in your debt. Please see the screen shot with the sequence of windows as they unfold for me. this is as far as it will allow me to go.

Now when you drag and drop that black box with the green "exec" letters into the Terminal window, it will create an install command.

All you do is press "Enter" to run it. If it asks for your password, type it in blind, because the cursor will not move or show dots. Press "Enter" after you type the password.

Oh boy, I got excited there for a bit. It did launch the installer I entered my serial number and it seemed to install fully. Once I hit done, an error message popped up and the attached terminal window message remained.

Sorry for all the trouble I have been

Are you able to locate the CS5 folder in your Applications folder?  Inside should be Photoshop.app

Double-click it to launch and tell me if it works.

If it does not open, right or ctrl click on the app and choose Open from the context menu.

ok....yes yes yes. it is working. looks like I had to download some java script in order for it to work. looks like it is working now. oh my. I'm so so pleased and grateful for your generous help.  Without it I would have be totally stuck.

Thanks again sir! It is much appreciated!!!!!!

Now you may Quit Terminal.  Those were information messages. It  does not stop you from launching Photoshop.

Next: Updates

First install this: Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh : Adobe Application Manager

Then use Help > Updates to get your updates. any problems, get back to me.

Edit: It's what I'm here for.
