Default installation of Adobe Acrobat Pro to include all features and components
Microsoft blocked-off standard users being able to add features later (to the installation from CCDA - eg PreFlight to allow production and verification of PDF/A). This was by blocking MSI repair and feature additions for standard users. MSI being run by SYSTEM/local admin from a full installer and configured to simply pre-install everything does work (eg ADDLOCAL=ALL).
We have now deployed the 64-bit installer as enterprise-managed, as all-inclusive, as above.
Also, we need to either:
• Hide the CCDA installation of Acrobat Pro (because the default does not include all features)
OR
• Have the CCDA configurable to install all features/components by default, so we will not need a separate enterprise-managed installer.
Needs to work for Windows 11 and later, and also for Windows 10 for clients on extended security updates (ESU).

This is essential. Not sure I understand all the reasoning above, particularly about the MS blocking (possible but not proven in my place too) but leaving some functions to be installed later WITHOUT ASKING is silly. Ask me if I want to install everything or just the basics. I'll choose EVERYTHING every time. How difficult is it to build a dialog at the start of installation to collect the users preferences rather than assume Adobe know best (which they don't)
