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.
These installers assume that Windows is localised in English. For Windows localised for other languages need to make changes accordingly.

Installer
Foxit Reader 3.0 (English)
<package
id="foxit-reader"
name="Foxit Reader"
revision="1"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check
type="uninstall"
condition="exists"
path="Foxit Reader" />
<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader30_enu.msi" /qn /norestart' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /x {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000} /passive /norestart' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader30_enu" /qn /norestart' />
</package>
Foxit Reader automatically makes itself the default PDF reader, hence the -register command-line switch isn't used here.
Foxit Reader 2.3
<package
id="foxit-reader"
name="Foxit Reader"
revision="2.3"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" value="2.3.2008.3201" />

Command-line Switches
-register - make Foxit Reader the default PDF reader
Foxit Reader 2.3 (Over-Complicated Package)
Note: This package gives full control for Everyone to the Foxit Reader program directory. This is a massive security risk and should be avoided.
Note: This package copies the shortcuts installed just for the user who installed Foxit Reader, to where they will be available for all users, which seems pointless as (at least with version 3) this is the default behaviour and can also be achieved using an installer command-line switch.
