Hi all,

I want to push out Foxit Reader over SMS on our network, so downloaded the MSI installer package for it.

Just wanted to know if this supports a silent/unattended installation?

When using MSI File and specifying TARGETDIR, the Application ist installed correctly in the right Directory, but I have no Icons in the Startmenu...

Would you please more specific?
How did you specify the TARGETDIR?
What's your install environment?
