I use the following package for Adobe Reader.

'---code start (watch for line wraps)

     <package id="AdobeReader11" name="Adobe Reader 11" revision="%PKG_VER%" reboot="false" priority="10">
         <variable name="PKG_NAME"      value="AdobeReader11" />
         <variable name="PKG_VER"       value="11.0.5" />
         <variable name="PKG_VER_MAIN"  value="11000" />
         <variable name="PKG_VER_START" value="11001" />
         <variable name="PKG_VER_END"   value="11005" />
         <variable name="PKG_LNG"       value="en_US"/>
         <variable name="PKG_LNG"       value="de_DE" lcid="407,c07,1407,1007,807" />
         <variable name="PKG_ATT"       value="EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES AgreeToLicense=Yes ENABLE_CACHE_FILES=No ALLUSERS=1" />

         <check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="Adobe Reader .+" value="%PKG_VER%" />

         <install cmd='MsiExec.exe /norestart /passive /log "%TMP%\%PKG_NAME%.log" /i "%SOFTWARE%\Adobe Reader\AdbeRdr%PKG_VER_MAIN%_%PKG_LNG%.msi" %PKG_ATT% ' >
             <exit code="3010" reboot="false"/>
         </install>
         <install cmd='%ComSpec% /c for /l %V in (%PKG_VER_START%,1,%PKG_VER_END%) do @for %F in ( AdbeRdrUpd%V AdbeRdrSecUpd%V) do if exist "%SOFTWARE%\Adobe Reader\%F.msp" MsiExec.exe /norestart /passive /log "%TMP%\%PKG_NAME%_%V.log" /update "%SOFTWARE%\Adobe Reader\%F.msp" ' >
             <exit code="3010" reboot="false"/>
         </install>

         <upgrade include="install" />

         <remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /norestart /passive /log "%TMP%\%PKG_NAME%.log" /x "%SOFTWARE%\Adobe Reader\AdbeRdr%PKG_VER_MAIN%_%PKG_LNG%.msi"' />
     </package>
