I just upgraded to El Capitan, WooHoo!, and now my Adobe CS programs won't work because they require a legacy version of Java despite java having been updated countless times since the programs being installed. So now I'm trying to install the a legacy version of Java to be able to run my adobe programs again in El Captain, but how do you do that? Please help!?

Unfortunately it doesn't work because of it being an older version of Java. Thanks for the suggestion.
The Apple supplied 6 version and the Oracle 8 version is all that you should need.

Search the forums, there are literally hundreds of posts on this exact same issue.
Much appreciated for the suggestion. It didn't work. 😟 No change.
You can have every version of Java installed all at the same time.
However, Adobe seems to think that they should hard-code the requirement for Java 6 which can be installed from this download: Java for OS X 2015-001
It may be just that they need a JDK vs a JRE and the easily found Java from Oracle is only a JRE.
The Java 8 JDK can be downloaded from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html?
I already gave the OP links for both, and he still claims that he has an issue.
All I saw were the JRE's. I suggested the JDK.
How do you install a legacy version of Java over a newer version of Java?
