Installing
choco install foxitreader
The following line installs Foxit Reader
- without desktop icon
- without default file association
- without browser plugin and
- without ConnectedPDF:
choco install -y foxitreader --ia '/MERGETASKS="!desktopicon,!setdefaultreader,!displayinbrowser /COMPONENTS=*pdfviewer,*ffse,*installprint,*ffaddin,*ffspellcheck,!connectedpdf"'
Specifying a language
choco install foxitreader --ia '/MERGETASKS="!desktopicon /COMPONENTS=*pdfviewer,*ffse,*installprint,*ffaddin,*ffspellcheck,!connectedpdf" /LANG=en'
Note, although /LANG=en
is specified, the installation executable is downloaded from an URL such as
https://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/latest.php?product=Foxit-Reader&platform=Windows&package_type=exe&language=German&version=$version
This
language=German
seemed to ignore my request for an english installation, but the
installer's source code has this helpful comment:
The "&language=German' parameter will force the download of "FoxitReader941_L10N_Setup_Prom.exe" containing all available languages.
