"The file AdobePDF.dll on Windows Vista CD-Rom is needed

Hello Adobe Friends,

I was recently prompted to re-activate my old ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 3 DESIGN PREMIUM. I then installed the new ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 3 DESIGN PREMIUM (which includes ADOBE ACROBAT 8 PROFESSIONAL) by obtaining a new serial # via the link Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8 on the Adobe Website. Three/quarters of the way through the installation process, the process was interrupted by an Error: message that popped up stating "The file AdobePDF.dll on Windnows Vista CD-ROM is needed". I "cancelled" the error message, exited the dialog box and continued with the installation to completion. The suite seems to have installed successfully and seems to be working properly HOWEVER I never went back to resolve the issue regarding the error message that popped up stating "The file AdobePDF.dll on Windnows Vista CD-ROM is needed". Is there anything I need to do further? If so can you please advise go-forward directives?

Please note, I am working on a fairly new Hewlett Packard Windows 10 All in One Home Desktop PC.

Thank you kindly and looking forward to your reply.

if it works, leave it.

in the future, or for other readers of this, install using compatibility mode (win xp).
