I am porting over to a new computer system - now running Windows 10. Trying to install Acrobat Pro 8 and after installing twice I am still getting the message:

"A serious error has been detected and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional cannot continue. Please reinstall the application and try again."

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks,

Karl

There is a patch that fixes the Flex licensing. I do not remember where on Adobe's site I got, probably the same place I got all the Acrobat 8 incremental updates, but it is called licensing_service_patch. As soon as that is installed Flex stops killing Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro
