How to manually update Acrobat Professional 8.1.0 from Adobe downloads

As I've paid $499 for my Acrobat 8 Professional I want to continue to use it. I was forced to re-download and re-install after being unable to get a new e-license and now am back to 8.1.0. This page ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/8.x/ shows the 8.x updates available for download but as I understand it they must be installed sequentially. Is this done through the command line, and if so what is the correct code to use? Finally, which of the 8.1/ updates in the first folder is the correct English USA version?

Thanks.

No command-line commands required. Simply download the files (they have an .msp extension) and double-click them. They are executables.

Use the files under the "misc" folder, without a language code (so AcrobatUpdXXX_all_incr.msp).

I've tried that, and they always ask for a program to open them. They won't run automatically when clicked or double clicked.

EDIT: Had to correct a file association in the registry. Works OK now.

How do I know which version in the misc folder to use if there are multiple files available?

Thanks.

I have no problems using it with Windows10Pro. Maybe there are some features I'm not aware of that aren't compatible, but everything I use works fine. I've gone through all the updates to 8.3.1 and they all updated without any problem. Thanks for your help.
