Adobe Customization Wizard 9 does not work with the unpacked file.
The update to 10.01 is msiexec /update, not msiexec /i
Here I published a tutorial for it and many others programs. Please comment on the blog if you have questions.

/sAll /rs
This is more an info note. When installing Adobe Reader X on an ESXi hosted vm protected mode is always disabled. Most likely due to the video driver. We tested this on Windows 7/ XP both with the same results. Though the same deployment job worked fine on physical machines.

For a silent installation for example with Empirum:
AdbeRdr1011_de_DE.exe /sAll /rs /l /msi /qb- /norestart EULA_ACCEPT=YES
Create MST transform with Adobe Customization Wizard X then it's as simple as:
msiexec /i .\AcroRead.msi /TRANSFORMS=.\AcroRead.mst
I would suggest putting all paths in "'s although I found the transform does not always accept the "'s so be warned!
This is for 10.1.3 more than 10.1.0 but nevermind....
Download the 10.1.3 EXE (NOT THE MSI it's broke) extract by running then looking in %TEMP% and picking out the entire folder with MSI etc. download AdbeRdrUpd1013.msp and apply, then use Adobe Customization Wizard X to create MST and then you can deploy correctly via group policy.
For a step by step guide on deploying and customising Adobe Reader X (10.1.3) straight through GPO see my blog post:

For an easy step by step guide on Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) deployable through GPO, while also being customisable, see:

On Symantec Workspace Virtualization you need to exclude [LOCALAPPDATA]\adobe\acrobat\10.0 in your exclude entries. There may be more but this is all we have found so far.
