Solving the old Adobe Acrobat unattended install mystery

A while ago, I wrote about how much trouble I was having trying to install Adobe Acrobat DC unattended. Today I think I found what was causing the failures.

On the last computer that the process was mysteriously not working on, I tried running the UI-enabled installer. After I waited a while, it threw up a dialog about needing to close some applications: Word and Outlook. Once those programs were closed, it proceeded and ran to completion.

So, the trick is to close the Office applications before installing Acrobat.
