Acrobat Professional / Standard 8.x Installer problems?

Having a problem installing Adobe Acrobat Professional/Standard 8 on Win7/8? Getting an extraction error near the end of the installer (eg: 99% complete)? Does it ask to find the AdobePDF.dll file? Click cancel let the installer continue. Then apply the Acrobat 8.1.0 update. After which you can decide to install all the other 8.x updates found here. Note: Unfortunately you HAVE to apply them sequentially. I updated all the way to 8.2 and then was able to run the Adobe Updater to take it to 8.3.1 [the last update in the 8.x series].
