I already have Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 deployed (12.0.30501, not 12.0.21005 that Acrobat ships with).
Installation of Acrobat DC works fine as long as I do NOT run it with /q or /qn flags. Once I add /q or /qn, error 1603 comes back. (A missing vcredist package will cause it to not install at all, interactive or quiet mode.)
"Run Installation" option in the transform is set to "Silently (no interface)" and "Suppress reboot" option is selected if a reboot is requested.
