Silent install for Foxit Reader, a "free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size (only 2.55 M download size), breezing-fast launch speed and rich feature set".

You will need to download the msi version of Foxit Reader in order for this to work. I would also recommend setting a different user in the permissions.

Alternative install

This above method will work, but you will run into problems when trying this with a German version of Windows, as the "Start menu" is called "Startmenü". You may want to correct the path in that case.

Of course, this will also work with any other version of Windows.
