Silent installer for Adobe Reader 9.

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.

http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe[1]

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

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer
"EULA"=dword:00000001
"Launched"=dword:00000001


User.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

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.

<package id="acrobatreader9"
    name="Adobe Acrobat Reader 9"
    revision="1"
    priority="2">
    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 9" />
    <install cmd='MsiExec.exe /x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A80000000002} /qn ' >
    <exit code="1605" />
     </install>
    <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\reader9\adberdr90_en_us.exe /sPB /rs /l /msi"qb-! EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES AgreeToLicense=Yes ENABLE_CACHE_FILES=No allusers=2 ' />
    <remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A90000000001} ' />
</package>
