Adobe Reader DC automated install using PowerShell

Solution 1:

If this command is executed in an Administrator terminal, or using an account with administrator privileges you will find the application is able to be installed without a problem.

The other thing that might be holding you up is from experience it's best to install Adobe Reader BEFORE you install any other applications.

I usually would apply the -Wait switch to ensure it's installed successfully before moving on with the next, and start with this installation before making additional changes as Adobe Reader can be difficult for the most part.

I would suggest to try the following command:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\newDir4\AcroRdrDC1501020060_en_US.exe" -ArgumentList "/sAll /rs /rps /msi /norestart /quiet EULA_ACCEPT=YES" -WorkingDirectory "C:\newDir4" -Wait
