Adobe Photoshop 7.0 update error?

First of all I know Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is old but the reason I'm using such a old program is that i got out my old Windows 98 PC and that's what's on it. So here's my problem. I am connected to the internet correctly as I can load webpages and whatever else. So when I go to Adobe's website and download the 7.01 update it downloads fine but when I try to install it the update days that it cannot find a installation of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 installed. I have also tried updating from within the application but still no luck. Again I know windows 98 and Adobe Photoshop 7 is old. (I have another PC with windows 10.) Sorry that this question is a bit long winded. Thank you,

Christopher

Ps one other thing I think I posted to the right community but if not can you redirect me? Thank you!

      Your not going to like this, but most likely your ps 7 serial has been black listed, probably many years ago and that's why the 7.0.1 updater can't find your ps7.

      Ok then. Do you think I should contact Adobe about this? I have no clue where the box or disk is but I know I have it somewhere in my house. (I hope). Or is there anyway to buy a new serial number? Thank you for your help!

      Adobe will not do anything. I think you are stuck with 7.0.

      if the direct download of ps701up.exe didn't work, there's not much else to try.

      your os is even too old for Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products
