Adobe Acrobat Unattended Install Difficulties

I am attempting to do an unattended deployment of Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) via msiexec, and I am having a lot of trouble. The installer process sometimes exits with code 1603, which is a generic installation failure. On some machines, the installation works fine after a couple tries, but on others, it never works no matter how much I reboot or retry.

I did recently dig up an Adobe KB article that seems relevant, but it's for an older version (not DC), though a more recent document indicates that the parameter is still useful. I will try the MSI parameters and the registry tweak to see if they help.
