It looks like with FR MSI now avail. we need to be more careful to distinguish between Foxit Reader / Foxit Enterprise Reader (i.e. FoxitReader510.1021_enu.msi / EnterpriseFoxitReader503.0726_enu.msi)
Foxit Reader is a free PDF viewer, available from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/, distinguished from Adobe Reader by being smaller, more secure and easier to update. It is available in either a .exe installer or an MSI installer. This MSI installer was reinstated as-of November 2011 and is a choice you are given only when downloading via http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/. Foxit Reader is aimed at end users, licensed for personal use only and includes addons like the ask.com toolbar, which you generally don't want to roll out in your organisation.
Foxit Enterprise Reader, http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/enterprise.php, is a similar version of the same Foxit Reader but with some alterations for enterprise deployments, such as lacking the Ask toolbar. It is only available as an MSI installer.
These WPKG packages assume that Windows is localised in English. For Windows localised in other languages you will need to make changes accordingly.
