Silent install for Foxit Reader, a "free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size, breezing-fast launch speed and rich feature set".
You will need to download the .msi version of Foxit Reader from here 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 you will need to make changes accordingly.

Installer
Foxit Reader 3.1 (English)
<package
id="foxit-reader"
name="Foxit Reader"
revision="3.1"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check
type="uninstall"
condition="exists"
path="Foxit Reader" />
<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader31_enu.msi" /qn /norestart' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /x {81EC4B5E-E735-43D2-985A-C675003BFBB6} /passive /norestart' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader31_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

name="Foxit Reader"
revision="2.3"
reboot="false"

<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" value="2.3.2008.3201" />
<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office\Foxit\FoxitReader23.msi" /QN /NORESTART ALLUSERS=1' />
<install cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" -register' />

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.

Configuration
Turn Off Automatic Updates
Foxit Reader 3.1
System-wide configuration: IsAutoUpdate=0 in %PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader_Preferences.ini. I don't know the purpose of this file in version 3.1 as each user has their own configuration setting.
Per-user configuration: HKCU\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\AutoUpdate Info\IsAutoUpdate = 0
GUI: Help → Check for updates now → Preferences → Updater → Automatically check for Foxit updates []
Foxit Reader 3.0
System-wide configuration: IsAutoUpdate=0 in %PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader_Preferences.ini. This setting isn't present unless the menu option has been run to turn it off. If you add an additional 'IsAutoUpdate' line to this file then only the first instance of it is adhered to.
