Thanks Torgeir but this didn't work.

A dialog entitled "Adobe Reader 6.0.1" with the text "You
must restart your system for the configuration changes
made to Adobe Reader 6.0.1 to take effect. Click Yes to
restart now or No if you plan to restart later"

There are two command buttons labelled Yes (default) and
No.

Is this beyond the 'scope' of MsiExec?
