Silent install for Foxit Reader, is a "free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible distinguished from Adobe Reader by being small size, breezing-fast launch speed and rich feature set"more secure.
You will need to download The installer here assumes you've downloaded the .msi MSI version of Foxit Reader the installer rather than the regular .exe installer, from [http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/download.php 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.

Foxit Reader automatically makes itself the default PDF reader, hence the '-register ' command-line switch used with earlier versions isn't used here.

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.
