Configuration: Created 'Foxit Enterprise Reader 5.1' section; added new 'disable welcome dialog' option from Foxit Reader section; updated 'display PDF in browser' info to reflect changes in 5.1
For details on how to use these registry settings to script changes using WPKG see http://wpkg.org/Adding_Registry_Settings#Reg.
 
==Foxit Enterprise Reader 5.1==
 
===Turn Off Automatic Updates===
GUI: Foxit Enterprise Reader doesn't include Help → Update and the associated Preferences, but it may or may not include the auto updater feature.
 
Automated configuration: ?
 
===Display PDF In Browser===
 
This determines whether or not PDFs open in an embedded Foxit Reader within the browser, or open separately into a full Foxit Reader.
 
There is an option in Tools → Preferences → File Associations → Display PDF in Browser (no longer is there an option in the 'Welcome to Foxit Reader' dialog on initial startup to '[*] Display PDF in Browser'). This option responds only to administrator accounts (not sure about Power Users), other users can alter it but doing so will make no difference, with that in Tools → Preferences reverting on next startup. Foxit acts upon the option set by an administrator, for all users.
The installer option VIEWINBROWSER=0 doesn't cause this option to be turned off.
The registry option ...MainFrame\DisplayInBrowser=0 described in Configiuration Scripts - Foxit Reader 4.3 doesn't seem to be able to be used to turn this off.
 
=== Disable the welcome dialog ===
 
As of version 5.1 you can disable the Welcome Dialog.
 
Per-user automated configuration:
HKCU\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader 5.1\Preferences\Others\bShowWelcomeDlg=REG_SZ:0
 
==Foxit Reader 5.1==
GUI: Help → Check for updates now → Preferences → Updater → Automatically check for Foxit updates []
