BAT file have all to be in the same folder to make this happen. If you are interested what this file does, see MSDN.įor easy installation, we will use a small batch file that uses MSIExec to install FRE, configures Internet Explorers Protected Mode and finally copy the add-on (*.bin).
Most users will freak out with this message, so we allow FRE in protected mode with a small REG file Foxit_IEProtMode.reg, which works for both 32 and 64-bit Windows 7 machines. If FRE is started the first time for a PDF in Internet Explorer, the user will receive this protected mode warning: One more setting is needed for a good deployment. This is the add-on and all you need to do as installations to a different PC is to copy it. Once this is done, a new *.BIN file will be in the installation folder, e.g. To get it, start Foxit Updater.exe from the location where FRE is installed and download the Add-on. Msiexec /i "EnterpriseFoxitReader543.0920_enu.msi" /qn /norestart /l*v "%TEMP%\FoxitReader_InstallLog.txt" MAKEDEFAULT=1 LAUNCHCHECKDEFAULT=0 VIEW_IN_BROWSER=1 STARTMENU_SHORTCUT=1 DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0Ī quick description about the different options can be found here, although I think what they do should be obvious.īasically this is all you need to install it, but FRE 5.4 does not include the add-on for Eastern Asian Languages out of the box. To install FRE silently you can use the typical MSIExec command, here’s the command I have used: You will receive an email that includes the download link for the MSI installation files as well as the ADM file for Group Policies. To good thing about this registration is that they will inform you automatically if there is a newer version available like the update they posted on January, 13th, 2013. In order to deploy Foxit Reader Enterprise (FRE), you need to register at their website. For a simple reader this is completely wrong. When opening PDF files from a SharePoint server, Foxit Reader will ask you if you want to check out the file.You have to manually install it which requires the Updater plugin - and this plugin should be disabled in a full enterprise deployment. However, I did not find any information how to install this silently. For correctly display eastern Asian languages, you will need to install an add-on.
Please be aware that there are still two open topics that prevent me from fully recommend it: I’m currently evaluating this version and wanted to share how I have deployed it. It is some advantages over Adobe Reader and a specialized version for Enterprise usage is also available: Foxit Reader Enterprise.
In case you are searching for an alternative to Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader is a good choice.
