Language transforms not applied when installing Acrobat via command line

Problem: Language transform file used to configure Acrobat install via command line is not applied, and throws an error. 

When you use the msiexec command, that includes a language transform file (*.mst), you get the error: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.

Solution: Include the patch file in your command. 

Ensure that you include the patch file (*.msp) in the command. To include the patch file, use the PATCH property in your command.

For example, the updated command line is:

msiexec /i AcroPro.msi PATCH="[path]\<filename>.msp" TRANSFORMS="[path]\<filename>.mst"
