Adobe Acrobat PRO DC won't install with post-install task K2000
I have been trying to get Acrobat Pro DC to install as a post install task. I have created a custom transformed msi using the Acrobat Customization Wizard for DC. I then zipped up the the folder and for parameters in the post install task I have msiexec /i AcroPro.msi /sPB /rs. Now I was once able to get it going once, but it just would hang and never install I removed the updates and the task then just failed.

I also had an issue with installing Acrobat pro DC recently.
The issue was the Visual "C++ redistributable package"... which needs to
be installed for it to work. Even though the download package for
Acrobat has the this version of C++ included.... and the customization
wizard is supposed to install it for you....... IT DOESNT!!
So I would suggest installing the "C++ Redist" as a task before
installing the Acrobat DC. Have a few other tasks in between them
for good measure.
My Acrobat DC parameters are a bit different from yours.... but works for
me perfectly. I used the MSI file provided by adobe. I suggest you use the
MSI version of setup.
(msiexec /i "AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS="AcrobPro.mst" /qn)
Also make sure that you don't zip up the folder containing your adobe
files. Rather open the folder and highlight all the individual components
and then zip. This is crucial, or else the k2000 will not be able to install.
Setup.exe /sPB /rs /msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst
If you run into any problems, add Visual C++ 2013 (x64) as a post-install task prior to Acrobat Pro DC. - dwilks_ 6 years ago
So I added the Visual C++ and it hangs up on installing that. - jrbartes 6 years ago
