I’m trying to reinstall Photoshop CS2 on an intel iMac, OS 10.5.5. I ran the install program, after a few seconds I get the following error message: 

"Install Failed: The following install step failed: run preflight script for Adobe Photoshop CS2. Contact the software manufacturer
for assistance." (I did contact adobe, but they no longer support CS2) Originally, I had installed PS CS2 when I was using OS 10.4.X, then I upgraded to 10.5.x. PS CS2 was working fine on my system. Then I accidentally deleted the program, now I’m having trouble reinstalling. I’d appreciate any help that you can give me.

If you have installed CS3 you have to de-install that first, then install CS2, then CS3 again. In that order.

Yes, I know. Just thought to mention that if CS3 also has been installed you need to to do it like that.
