== This is a silent installer for PDF-XChange Editor 3.0.307.2 by Tracker Software and onwards. ==
The installers can be found at: [http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor]
In this example the MSI installers were used for both - the 32 Bit and the 64 Bit installation.
The original installer files "PDFXVE3.x86.msi" and "PDFXVE3.x64.msi" were renamed to "PDFXVE3_3.0.307.2.x86.msi" and "PDFXVE3_3.0.307.2.x64.msi" after downloading them, to make it easier to identify the version of the files with one view in the future...

In the example above the program is installed silently, without any user interaction needed. Tested on Windows XP ( 32/64 ), Windows 7 SP1 ( 32/64 ).
The features F_Viewer,F_ShellExt,F_VLangs describe which parts of the program are installed - see the complete list and descriptions here:
[http://help.tracker-software.com/EUM/default.aspx?pageid=PDFXEdit3:switches_for_msi_installers]
The options VIEWER_IN_BROWSERS="0" SET_AS_DEFAULT="0" DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS="0" EDITOR_LANGUAGE="de-DE" describe which additional installation options were set - see the complete list and descriptions here:

'''BEWARE:''' As of today ( April 28th, 2014 ) the option '''EDITOR_LANGUAGE="de-DE"''' is not documented ! It will be in future releases of the Tracker Software Documentation, but it isn´t included yet. The variable "de-DE" can be exchanged with all available locales which are delivered along with the software.
Aditional information: If you don´t want your users to be questioned, if they want to use PDF-XChange Editor as their standard PDF Viewer/Editor when using it the first time, you are able to deploy a small registry patch for example via GPO or via Logon-Script to fix that. Her is the needed addition to the users HKLU Registry Key:
'''[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Prompts] "AskForDefaultApp"=dword:00000000'''
