I just send you my (german) adobereader8 package  which works here:

    <package
      id="acrobat8"
      name="Acrobat Reader 8"
      revision="4"
      reboot="false"
      priority="100">

        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 8
- Deutsch" />

        <install cmd='w:\packages\adobereader\AdbeRdr80_de_DE.exe /sPB
/rs /l /msi"/qb-! /norestart /log
%SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\acrobat8.log ALLUSERS=2 EULA_ACCEPT=YES
SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION=YES LAUNCH_APP=0" '>
          <exit code="0" />
          <exit code="3010" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='cmd /c regedit /s
w:\packages\adobereader\acroread-html8.reg ' />

        <remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /q
/x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1031-7B44-A80000000002}' >
          <exit code="0" />
          <exit code="1605" reboot="true" />
        </remove>

        <upgrade cmd='cmd /c regedit /s
w:\packages\adobereader\acroread-html8.reg ' />
        <upgrade cmd='msiexec /qb /l*
%SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\adobe-reader.txt /i
"w:\packages\adobereader\AdbeRdrSD80_all.msi ' />

    </package>
