You need to prepare install package with something like start /wait
AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe /V"/A ""Adobe Reader 7.0.msi"" TARGETDIR=%TEMP%\acroread 
/l*v %TEMP%\acroread7.log"
which make administrative installation point, place msi package and
related files/directories to network share from where you can install it
like any other msi package.
Some usefull info you can find also on http://appdeploy.com
