Foxit Reader is a free PDF viewer distinguished from Adobe Reader by being small and more secure.

The installer here assumes you've downloaded the MSI version of the installer rather than the regular .exe installer, from here.

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 3.3 (English)

<package
        id="foxit-reader"
        name="Foxit Reader"
        revision="3.3"
        reboot="false"
        priority="0">

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

		<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader33_enu.msi" /qn /norestart' />

		<remove cmd='msiexec /x {576CDB8F-98CA-4B0A-942C-EE60F6147931} /passive /norestart' />

		<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader33_enu" /qn /norestart' />
 
</package>

Foxit Reader automatically makes itself the default PDF reader, hence the '-register' command-line switch used with earlier versions 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" />

 <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office\Foxit\FoxitReader23.msi" /QN /NORESTART ALLUSERS=1' />
 <install cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" -register' />

 <remove cmd='msiexec /x {376DA9DC-71B3-4AB7-A80C-8ED02A736172} /passive /norestart' />

 <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office\Foxit\FoxitReader23.msi" /QN /NORESTART ALLUSERS=1' />
 <upgrade cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" -register' />

</package>

Command-line Switches

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.
