Unattended Install: Adobe Reader 7.x

This script uses a transform file that I’ve created via Orca, to remove icons from the desktop and Start Menu. The idea behind this method is to use the Adobe Reader download direct from the Adobe web site without first unpacking it to extract the source files.

You can find the download to the latest version here: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/7x/7.0.9/enu/AdbeRdr709_en_US.exe
