Installing Acrobat 8 Pro on Win 10 [Acrobat 8 is dead]

I have the Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional CD and used it on a Windows 7 computer.  I need to install the program on a Windows 10 computer - I was told it will work on Windows 10.  During the installation, they are asking for "AdobePDF.dll on Windows Vista CD-Rom".  I do not have this and I don't know where to find it in order to finish the installation.

You should know that Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 10 and that all kinds of problems are likely to happen when you use it.

When I click on the link in your post, it takes me back to the Adobe Support Community page... 😞

Acrobat 8 can no longer be used. Adobe disabled the activation servers and removed access to the non-activation installer.
