Acrobat 24 install error 1624 with languages specified in bootstrapper setup.ini
The issue
=========
Experiencing typical MSI error 1624 (There was an error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid) when additional transform is specified on the original package of Acrobat 24.2.20687.
Output log
==========

The error would only when Machine policy value 'TransformsSecure' is 1 with the additional custom transform.
If Machine policy value 'TransformsSecure' is set to 0, no errors observed with or without additional transform.
The QUESTION
============
Any thoughts on why the install would fail with 1624 when:
- Machine policy value 'TransformsSecure' set 1 - which is the default setting on a device
- Language selection is specified in setup.ini
- additional custom MST is used with the install.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
