Install CS2 on Macbook Pro

I just bought a new Macbook Pro (OSX 10.8.3) running and tries to install CS2, but problems. I talked with Adobe support that directed me to a download site (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads) where I downloaded the installation files (5 in total more than PDF). When I go to install I get an error message "Cannot open the application"Adobe Installer"for PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

What gives? I kind of get it that Adobe does not support the older software, but if I had known that the purchase of new computer would make my obsolete CS2, I would not do. I was fine with CS2 and does not need to be upgraded because I had all the features I needed. I paid a lot for it at a time and do not want to drop another $1 + to return to what I had to do before.

Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation? I'm really out of luck?

You are out of luck I'm afraid. CS2 is designed to run on a PowerPC not an Intel Mac. License Apple software called "Rosetta" which has allowed PowerPC software to run on older versions of the Intel Mac OS x, but it has not been supported since OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for OS x 10.7 (Lion) and OS x 10.8 (Mountain Lion) cannot run CS2. CS3 is the oldest version that will work on your Macbook.
