== 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.

== 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.
+

I read on appdeploy about some registry settings which stop all the EULA and other dialogue boxes so I apply these through a logon script.  One line is for the machine key and the others are user specific.
+
 
+
Machine.reg
+
 
+
<source lang="reg">
+
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer
+
"EULA"=dword:00000001
+
"Launched"=dword:00000001
+
</source>
+
 
+
 
+
User.reg
+
<source lang="reg">
+
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\CommonFiles\Usage\Reader 9
+
"OptIn"=dword:00000000
+
 
+
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral
+
"bCheckForUpdatesAtStartup"=dword:00000000
+
 
+
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
+
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
+
</source>
+
 
+
This is the package I use.  The first install command is to remove the previous 8.1.2 version so remove that if you don't need it (or just let the installer remove the older 8.1.2 version for you, as it does automatically and silently).
