Hallo Emma,

I have also to distribute the Adobe Reader 8.0, but on LAN not on CD.
You can hide the distribution agreement in to ways:

1. by changing the registry entries
for EULA and Launched. Save the following text in a new text document and rename it in *.reg. After the Installation import this in the Registry (double click or use the DOS-Command: "regedit /s yourregfile.reg").

the code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001
"Launched"=dword:00000001

2. by using a mst-file (Transform)
I found a video under <http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/webseminars/tuner7.wmv>

In this video I found this url:
 <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/>

On this site you find a link to download the Customization Wizzard 8.

Run the Customization Wizzard and generate an mst-File with all your predefined properties. I'm guessing it is the file, what you mean.

Now you have to link your 'Install Adobe Reader' button with the command like:
msiexec /i "yourinstallpath\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="yourpathtomst-file\AcroRead.mst" /qb

(the /qb for silent with basic user interface)

I hope this could be a little help. I'm sorry for my english, but I'm german (hopefully you can read all).

Bernd
