Run AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe to extract the install files.  Create an MST using the Adobe Customization Wizard.  Zip the install files if installing via the K1000.

msiexec /i "AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst" /qn

I use the CustWiz11 to install the native setup.exe that will install Acrobat Pro 11 silent with updates shut off and unlocked for non admin user activation.

1. Extract the files from the installer.
2. Download and install the Adobe Customization wizard XI.  (you require the 11 version).
3. Open custwiz and select the extracted acropro.msi.
4. Populate the wizard by shutting off updates, adding serial key, removing access to the Adobe services online, and accepting the EULA.
5. Save the package as the same name (by default) as the MST beside the original MSI.
6. In the extracted source binaries directory select the setup.ini and edit in the following (notice the languages  are removed as no modal is required):

 [Startup]
 RequireOS=Windows XP
 RequireMSI=3.1
 RequireIE=7.0.0000.0
 Require64BitVC10RT=1

 [Product]
 msi=AcroPro.msi
 CmdLine=TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /PASSIVE /NORESTART /LOG C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Install-MSI_AdobeAcrobatPro11.log
 vcrtMsi=vc_red.msi
 vcrtDir=VC10RT_x64

 [Windows XP]
 PlatformID=2
 MajorVersion=5
 MinorVersion=1
 ServicePackMajor=3

 [MSI Updater]
 Path=WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe

7. Finally, Create a wrapper script that will do the following:

 a)  Uninstall existing product:

  msiexec /X {AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-000000000006} /PASSIVE /NORESTART /LOG C:\WINDOWS\Temp\UNINSTALL-Acrobat_Pro_11.0.LOG

 b) Install the product (elevated as admin):

  %PACKAGESOURCEFILES%\setup.exe

(no switches running setup.exe)

Hi guys,

I have been experiencing issues getting Adobe Acrobat Pro XI deployed in SCCM, with an exit code of 1603. This basically relates to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redist 10.0.40219 missing from Windows 7 SP1.

The vc_red.msi that comes with the Acrobat Pro XI install files needs to be deployed first in order to get the software to install.

msiexec /i vc_red.msi /qn

THEN

MSIEXEC /I <path to msi>\AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS="<path to mst>\AcroPro.mst" /qn

I hope this helps anyone having the same issues as I did :)

msiexec /i "AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst" /qn
