Java El Capitan

Since installing El Capitan, I am not able to run Adobe Photoshop or Dreamweaver (old versions).

I get the message 'You need to install the legacy Java SE runtime'

I am trying to uninstall Java and reinstall the Java SE 6 runtime I downloaded from Apple, but even though I am sure all traces of Java are gone, I am still not able to install. Every time I try to install the runtime, I get a message that says: 'Java for OS X 2014-001 can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed.'

Java El Capitan 7

I already removed /Library/Java and everything under it. I also checked /etc/paths and Java is removed.

Update Java Mac El Capitan

Not sure whatever vestiges of Java remain, but I am still getting the message.
