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.

At http://languages.foxitsoftware.com you can download language files for Foxit Reader and copy them in the same directory where Foxit Reader is installed. However the translations are usually in such a bad shape, that even a non-native English speaker is better off with the English version.

Installer

Foxit Reader 3.3 Series (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" DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 VIEWINBROWSER=0 /qn /norestart' />

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

		<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\foxit-reader\FoxitReader33_enu" DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 VIEWINBROWSER=0 /qn /norestart' />
 
</package>

Please note that VIEWINBROWSER does not affect Internet Explorer integration. To disable that you have to uncheck "Internet -> Display PDF in Browser" through the Foxit Reader GUI or use the script below.

Foxit Reader automatically makes itself the default PDF reader, hence the '-register' command-line switch used with earlier versions isn't used here. If you don't want this you can set the property MAKEDEFAULT=0 during installation.

Uninstall Strings

  • 3.3.0.0430 (at least that version installed using the MSI): 4FEC0D0D-1279-4C46-B6F8-B73C5247A6A9
  • 3.1.1.0901: A9355F41-AE6C-487C-A6A9-BC348D836F43

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.

GUI: Help → Check for updates now → Preferences → Updater → Automatically check for Foxit updates []
