Hello,

--- quote ---
On a hunch, I installed winetricks and ran:

sh winetricks vcrun6 allfonts allcodecs dotnet11 dotnet20 directx9 comctl32
comctl32.ocx fontfix mfc40 mfc42 msls31 ole2 pdh urlmon wininet native_mdac

The next attempt to install acrobat 8 pro produced an error:

runtime error  program: C:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe R6034 an application
has mane an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly
--- quote ---

Don't use winetricks if not explicitly told to do so.
Using that amount winetricks recipes _is_ a recipe for disaster.
You will mess your WINEPREFIX up and encounter all sorts of problems.

Your log shows that your WINEPREFIX is already damaged:

--- snip ---
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe"
err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 2
...
--- snip ---

Again: Use a _clean_ WINEPREFIX for installation.

If you don't know what that means, please seek help in winehq forum.

Again: Bugzilla is not meant for end user support.

For the Adobe Acrobat 7/8 installer there are two bugs: this (spooler) and bug
21987 (dialog can be dismissed).
The installer succeeds for Wine-1.4, wine-1.5.0 with spooler workaround
(already tested)

Regards
