I am trying to install after effects, but no matter what version I try to download, there is always a different error not allowing me to open or use the program after I have already installed it.

I have recently repurposed an iMac from late 2009 as an editing machine, and have been trying to install preferably After Effects CS6.  When I install and try to open it for the first time, the program quits unexpectedly and continues to do the same every time I try to reopen the program.  After no luck experimenting trying to fix the problem, I attempted to download the trial of After Effects CC 2014 to see if the problem was with the computer or with the application.  After installing CC, there was another error when I attempted to open it.  My final attempt was taking After Effects CS5 from an old hard-drive and attempting to open it on the iMac.  When I open CS5 I am greeted with another error message telling me to reinstall After Effects.  After reinstalling I get the same message. 
I am confused to whether my computer can handle After Effects, or there is another error occurring.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know if these are important or not, but I thought I would include them anyways.
Thanks again
