I read on appdeploy about some registry settings which stop all the EULA and other dialogue boxes so I apply these through a logon script. One line is for the machine key and the others are user specific.

Machine.reg

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AdobeViewer
"EULA"=dword:00000001
"Launched"=dword:00000001

User.reg

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\CommonFiles\Usage\Reader 9
"OptIn"=dword:00000000

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVGeneral
"bCheckForUpdatesAtStartup"=dword:00000000

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001


This is the package I use. The first install command is to remove the previous 8.1.2 version so remove that if you don't need it.

<package id="acrobatreader9"

<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader 9" />
<install cmd='MsiExec.exe /x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A80000000002} /qn ' >
