Why can't I open Acrobat Reader DC MUI file on my MacAir?

I downloaded the latest AcroRdrDC_1801120035_MUI.dmg file to my MacAir (Mac OS 10.13 version) to upgrade my Acrobat Reader DC. However, when I followed the instruction: Open Finder > Look for the downloaded file > Double Click to Open file, nothing happened. The file didn't open at all. I tried downloading again a few times and opening but it didn't work either. Any tips or help, please?
