Distributing Adobe Reader 8.0 for Windows on CDR.

I have completed the Adobe Reader distribution agreement and been granted a license to do so. I need to add the Adobe installer onto the CD rom I am creating so that when someone clicks on my 'Install Adobe Reader' button it will automatically start to install. I have looked through the Adobe folders I got when I downloaded Reader 8.0 (when I signed the distribution agreement) but I am not sure which file I need to add to my disc. My collegue did this with Reader 5 and she included an .exe file called ADOBE READER INSTALL FIRST which then ran NETOPSYSTEMS FEAD OPTIMIZER and then then the Install Sheild installation starts. She is away at the moment so I cant ask her how she did it - I'm guessing it's something simple, or has the way you distribute Reader on CD changed for version 8.0?

Any help/ suggestions appreciated, thanks.
Emma.
