For those of us just installing Acrobat Pro XI vs. deploying it, BillerDude saved my day! I run 32 bit Microsoft Office, just as Microsoft recommends most people should, so I don't need the Visual C++ runtime library.
- Executed the digital download purchase to extract the contents to a folder on the deskop.
- Opened an command prompt (admin, just to be safe).
- Navigate down two levels to the subfolder where ACROPRO.MSI and SETUP.EXE are
- Run the install with this command:
ACROPRO.MSI IGNOREVCRT=YES - Voila! Installation begins without that nasty Visual C++ error.
