Aug 19, 2018 Well, I just installed CS2 from that website onto my desk top computer using Win 7 - I first went into C drive and deleted everything Adobe that I thought was related to the CS2 install from the originally purchased CS2 disk. Should work for you too.

Responding to requests from film, broadcast and video professionals, Photoshop CS2 now allows non-destructive editing and the creation and editing of 32-Bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) images, ideal for 3D rendering and advanced compositing.
The new Camera Raw 3.0 workflow allows settings for multiple raw files to be simultaneously modified. In addition batch processing of raw files, to JPEG, TIFF, DNG or PSD formats, can now be done in the background without launching the main Photoshop executable. Integrated, non-destructive cropping and straightening controls allow raw files to be easily prepared for final output.

While Adobe Photoshop CS2 was released in May 2005, its age may make it an appealing target to businesses -- as of the date of publication, CS2 is still an adequate product for most basic business needs and may be available second-hand for considerably less than the price of purchasing the latest version. Because there are few modern computer systems incapable of running this system, prospective owners should check their system against the minimum requirements before purchase and installation.
Processor
Windows users looking to install Photoshop CS2 will need at least an Intel Xeon, Xeon Dual, Centrino, Pentium III, Pentium 4 or comparable CPU in order to run the program. Mac users will need at least a G3, G4 or G5 PowerPC processor.
Operating System
Windows users will need to be running at least Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3, or Windows XP in order to use Photoshop CS2. Mac users need to be running at least OS X 10.2.8 or 10.3 through 10.3.7, with 10.3.4 listed as the ideal minimum for optimal operation.
RAM
Photoshop CS2 requires a minimum of 192MB of RAM for both Windows and Mac. Ideally, at least 256MB of RAM will run the program smoothly.
Hard Disk Space
The Windows version of Photoshop CS2 requires at least 280MB of free hard disk space. The Mac version requires at least 320MB of hard disk space.
Monitor and Video Card
Both versions of Photoshop CS2 require a basic color monitor and a 16-bit or greater video card. The monitor's resolution must be at least 1,024 x by 768 pixels.
Other Considerations
When installing Photoshop CS2, both Windows and Mac users will need a CD-ROM drive to run the installation disc. They will also need a Internet or phone connection in order to activate Photoshop and begin using it.
