    Illustrator 8.0 was released in 1998; I severely doubt that you will be able to install or run 17-year old software on a modern operating system.

    You can try, if you want, to install it under Windows 98 Compatibility Mode.  If you succeed installing it, you will also need to run it in Compatibility Mode.

    If you want to stay with version 8.0 you could try running it in XP mode

    Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
