MSI extraction, installation and customization.
Silent installer for Adobe Reader 9.
== Adobe Reader 9, MSI installer ==
Adobe have not released an MSI for any language so you have to extract it yourself from the EXE installer (this is for the italian language version):
http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/ita/AdbeRdr90_it_IT.exe
Then you are encouraged to download and install the "Adobe Customization Wizard 9" which allows to create a Microsoft Transform File (.MST) with many customizable parameters (EULA, updates, online services, directories, etc.):

Remember, the following is for the italian version; adapt names, packages, strings and uninstallation GUIDS to your language.
<source lang="xml">
<packages>
<package id="adobereader9ita" name="Adobe Reader 9 ita customized" revision="1" priority="50">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 9 - Italiano" />
<install cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\AdobeReader9ita\AcroRead.msi" allusers=1 TRANSFORMS=%SOFTWARE%\AdobeReader9ita\AcroRead.mst'>
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="false" />
</install>
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\AdobeReader9ita\AcroRead.msi" allusers=1 TRANSFORMS=%SOFTWARE%\AdobeReader9ita\AcroRead.mst' />
<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /qn /x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1040-7B44-A90000000001}'>
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="false" />
</remove>
</package>
</packages>
</source>
== Adobe Reader 9, EXE installer ==
Adobe have not released an MSI for this so you have to use the self extracting/installing setup they provide. You can download it directly from here.
