Problems deploying Adobe Acrobat 9

Question
-
Hi
I need some advice on Adobe Acrobat 9 deployment.
The total size of Adobe msi, cab file and patches over 1 Gb so I decided to run install from a network share instead to pushing huge cab file to every client.
I made Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 installation point and created SCE package (cmd.exe, msiexec and install.bat ) with "/c install.bat "installation parameter.
Please see the install.bat command ----- msiexec /i "\\UNCPATH\AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\UNCPATH\AcroPro.mst" /qn /l*v c:\Acrobat9.log
If run install.bat manually on the client Adobe installation is sucessfull.
I am having issue trying to deploy this package via SCE. Please see WindowsUpdate.log error below
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your update.
Generally, the error “1620” means the installation package is invalid. For more information, please also refer to:
List of error codes and error messages for Windows Installer processes
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229683
Therefore, please double check the installation package. Since this software is a product of Adobe, it is also recommended that you contact Adobe Support for help since they are familiar with their products:

I figured out why script failed. The issue was with the share permissions. I set everyone to Modify and the package worked. Thanks for assistance.

Hi,
Firstly, please check if all the clients encounter this error; and if just this software package failed to be deployed.
At this time, please refer to:
Problems with Adobe Acrobat Reader
Software Deployment in Essentials
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb422945.aspx
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you are install from the network - make sure that the computers have access to the share you are using (since the installation is run as system).

Thank you Björn. I gave the machines read access to the share and let you know if this worksThursday, June 17, 2010 2:50 PM

The computers were granted Read/Write access to the network share, but installation failed again.
Please see Adobe installation log below. I think there some issue with script execution from the network share.
I will try to copy installer locally to the machines, update bat file and let you now if that works
