Download and install Adobe Reader.

In, for example, %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup FilesRdrBig708\ENU_ (and also ENU, though this probably comes from the Enterprise Edition installer) are Adobe Reader 7.0.8.msi and Data1.cab. Copy these files to your server and use them to deploy Adobe Reader on other workstations.

Take care of the language version, the one below is English. A package in a different language will also have a different ID for the remove command. If you previously have a package called acrobat7, increment the revision number - the upgrade command comes into effect and obsoletes 7.0 and 7.0.1 to 7.0.4 packages.

<package
  id="acrobat7"
  name="Acrobat Reader 7.0.5"
  revision="5"
  reboot="true"
  priority="10">

<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 7.0.5" />

<install cmd='msiexec /q /i "%PACKAGES%\Adobe Reader 7.0.5.msi" allusers=1'>
   <exit code="0" />
</install>

<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /q /x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A70500000002}' />

<upgrade cmd='msiexec /q /i "%PACKAGES%\Adobe Reader 7.0.5.msi" allusers=1'>
 <exit code="0" />
 <exit code="3010" />
</upgrade>

</package>

Exit code 3010 means "reboot"; see the corresponding reboot flag

In uninstall, change the third part of the alphanumeric chain (1033) into NLS code, which is:

• German: 1031
• Polish: 1045

See Talk:Adobe_Reader for some more info on uninstalling.
