I think the HTML5 Extension pack for CS5 disappeared in 2012 when CS6 came out. I don't remember if it was ever available for CS4.

EbaySeller Not sure why you marked #4 as helpful, I think that this is a misuse of the system.

EbaySeller I now see that you have marked message #5 as Abuse. So I am the abuser while you are abusing the system?

ar1971 Could it be that the extension has been corrupted during its stay on your hard drive? Try downloading a fresh copy and see if that helps

You probably do not have an extension manager installed. Get one for free at https://www.dmxzone.com/go/22670/dmxzone-extension-manager-for-dreamweaver?utm_source=Blog&utm_mediu...

I'm not sure you ever will. You may need to create one manually.
Save the following code to your Snippets folder.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

For anyone in 2021+ who, like me, still has a working copy of CS4 on Windows 10 and is looking for an answer to this: stop. There is none. Don't waste your time with the "answers" above. They don't work. Trust me: I spent more than hour trying that I'll never get back.
First, there is no "snippets" folder in Dreamweaver CS4. There is a "configuration" folder. But this is irrelevant, because the above snippet of HTML doesn't solve the underlying issue: that CS4 doesn't recognize legitimate HTML5 tags.
Furthermore, the copy of "HTML5CS3_4.mxp" is the actual extension file needed. There are only a few copies of it remaining on the Internet that you can still search for via Google. If you download such a copy, make sure to scan it with an anti-virus program for analysis before attempting to install.
Unforunately, my copy of Adobe Extension manager doesn't recognize the above file as valid (instead, I get a rude and largely unhelpful "Can't find installer file" error). Maybe that's why you can't find this file on the Adobe site anymore.
Just assume there is no answer that works. Because there isn't.
Bottom line: this seems impossible in 2021. Too bad: CS4 overall still runs fine on Windows 10.

CS4 is outdated & discontinued software from 2008. Nobody should be using obsolete web authoring tools today. The Internet and code standards have changed too much.
If you won't step up to a Creative Cloud subscription, then use a free modern code editor like Brackets or Visual Studio Code.
