Old Contact Sheet plug in

I am still using CS5 - I own it, it works for me, and I no longer use it professionally so can't justify spending money on new version.  I use the File > Automate > Contact Sheet fairly often.  Not that it matters, but I generate contact sheets of all photos I've taken for the year and have them printed in a photo book as kind of a yearbook that is easier to browse, since I never print photos anymore.

 

Anyway - I recently got a new computer and I've moved over all my actions/shapes/fonts etc as best as I could.  One thing I am missing is the Contact Sheet that was found under the Automate menu.  I remember it being a hassle and I had to download something years ago but I can't remember what it was.  I've found plenty of old discussions on it saying you need a plug in, but all the links are no longer working.

 

Does anyone know of a way to get the plug in anymore?  I am on a Windows 11 machine.  Or, the name of the file and/or where it's saved?  I'd rather just download a new one if possible, but I do still have access to my old computer to go get it if I knew where to look.

I had tried Chrome and IE - just tried Edge and was able to get it to work.  Thank you much!

I can't get that link to work.  I tried breaking it down to http://download.adobe.com and every segment after it individually, but I get URL Not Found on all of them?

Forgot to mention - I did find the Output feature in Bridge but I don't think you can output in a jpg format.  I could output as pdf and then convert to jpg if I have to, but it's another step and the Contact Sheet function worked so well before.
