[hide]Download
At the time of writing Adobe Reader 9.1.1 is not available as a single downloadable installer.
You have to install 9.1 for your language and then apply the language-independent 9.1.1 patch.

MSI installer
Extraction from EXE
You should prefer the direct MSI download and scip to #Customization but the MSI could also be extracted from the EXE.
Extraction will produce in your user profile's "\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Reader 9.1\Setup Files" directory the following files, which have to be copied to the %SOFTWARE% location:
abcpy.ini AcroRead.msi Data1.cab Setup.exe setup.ini
The actual path of the "Setup Files"-dir depends on the used language in Windows. You can always find the correct path at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Local AppData" in your registry!
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Local AppData"
Customization
Then are encouraged to download and install the "Adobe Customization Wizard 9" which allows to create a Microsoft Transform File (.MST) with many customizable parameters (EULA, updates, online services, directories, etc.):

Remember, the following is for the italian version; adapt names, packages, strings and uninstallation GUIDS to your language.

EXE installer
Registry
On appdeploy they write about some registry settings which stop all the EULA and other dialogue boxes so we could apply these through a logon script. One line is for the machine key and the others are user specific.
Can be in HKLM or in HKCU: EULA Launched bCheckForUpdatesAtStartup
Needs to be in HKCU: bBrowserIntegration bDisplayedSplash OptIn

WPKG
The first install command is to remove the previous 8.1.2 version so remove that if you don't need it (or just let the installer remove the older 8.1.2 version for you, as it does automatically and silently).
<package id="acrobatreader9"
name="Adobe Acrobat Reader 9"
revision="1"
priority="2">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 9" />
<install cmd='MsiExec.exe /qn /x"{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A80000000002}"' >
<exit code="1605" />
</install>
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\reader9\adberdr90_en_us.exe /sPB /rs /l /msi"qb-! EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES AgreeToLicense=Yes ENABLE_CACHE_FILES=No allusers=2"' />
<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /x"{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A90000000001}"' />
</package>
Update
You can deploy the updates for Adobe Reader 9 too:
- First install Adobe Reader 9.
