If you are scripting the install of MOSS 2007, and want to include the install of Adobe’s PDF IFilter, this is the way of getting the install automated and integrated into your script.

1. Download the IFilter from the Adobe website
2. The exe is a SFX CAB archive. Use a program such as WinRAR to extract it.
   
3. One of the files extracted will be Setup.exe, which is an InstallShield setup file. You’ll need to create an answer file in order to script it, and to do that you need to go through the install on a test machine and record the settings.
4. From the command prompt, run Setup.exe -r, and go through the install as required in the script
5. This will generate a setup.iss answer file in the windows directory. Move this back to the folder where the extracted ifilter60.exe is.
6. Now if you include the extracted directory and run Setup.exe -s in your script, it will silently install following the settings stored in the Setup.iss file.
