So I followed the instructions in reply #5, but it wouldn't let me perform the first of the two commands, since this is not a virtual machine. However, I ran the second of the two, turned the rootless back on, rebooted, and then it allowed the install to go forward. I'm waiting for it to finish, so not sure how well CS5 will perform once install is complete, but I am optimistic. I'll post the results here after I test it. Update: Illustrator seems to work, except that I am having the same issue with the whole thing crashing when trying to use the eyedropper tool, as mentioned in another comment. Rather annoying, but I can probably work around it if I have to.
Anyone else found a fix for that? I have adobe 5.5 production premium and managed to get it installed on elcapitan after installing java 6 but The longer I used each app the longer it was quite clear that it was not supported anymore. Various tools didnt work some seldom used menus crash. Things like fonts menu doesnt show up in illustrator. Although there is a fix for this there are other errors in illustrator. On the surface adobe 5.5 seems fine after java 6 but thats not the case the longer you use each application.
Does the OS X El Capitan support Adobe Suite CS4 (InDesign, AI & Photoshop)? I can't afford to upgrade my software so I am not sure if I should download the the OS. Apple OS X El Capitan to Improve the Performance of Adobe CC Apps. Jun 08, 2015. Michael Zhang. The successor of Yosemite will be OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.
I would not want to depend on its current condition for real work. I switched to cloud because random crashes are NOT cool.

Overall the speed el captain and major improvements on the system is almost a bad idea, not worth the trouble of downgrading. So my advice is get a newer CS or install the old 5.5 CS on the newest OS. If you have problems with the 5.5 CS you may have need of downloading java 6 runtime. It doesn't come pre-installed. Also if the fonts don't show when you hit the drop down under paragraph or text selector.
the easy fix for this is to go under accessibility options and check the box for increase contrast. But this usually means you have a font that is in conflict with the default os font. 'San Francisco' since the update its been added as a new default font for all mac os. I'm running CS5.5 Creative Suite under 10.11.2 and it works well (with proper Java of course). Dreamweaver crashes sometimes when quitting but otherwise is stable. Illustrator and PS seem as solid as ever.
Even Quicken 2007 and Bias Peak Pro work fine! The problem with older apps is, although many run well if already on the hard drive, the installers often don't work under 10.11. So you need to use Apple Migration to transfer them from your prior system disk/Mac if you bought a new computer. I cloned my old OS drive on an external and used it to transfer all my old apps to a new iMac. Didn't even have to input serial numbers as that info was transferred too (except for Finale 2012).
Also saves a lot of time over using old DVD install disks and installing each app separately. I'm running CS5.5 Creative Suite under 10.11.2 and it works well (with proper Java of course).

PS CS6 has worked fine for me since the inception of EL Cap. The only real problem I have is with Bridge. I have both Bridge CS6 and Bridge CC installed, and neither will download pics from my Canon 7D. The latest Bridge does have a new download menu item 'Download From Device', and that will download from the camera, but only the jpg, not the RAW file. And unlike Download from Camera it does not place the images in a folder. There is a thread about this issue on the Adobe Forums, but from what I can tell Adobe really doesn't give a darn about fixing this, IMO, major problem.
