No, it's not "strongly discouraged", it is simply "not supported" and 
"impossible", plain and simple.. :-)

Use a bootstrapper. Either the dotNetInstaller recently mentioned here or the 
AutoIt scripting language I've suggested a couple of days ago. Both can have 
the additional bonus that they can be used to check for the existence of 
Acrobat Reader (by the way, what if the user has, say, Foxit Reader or 
GhostView/GhostScript installed and wouldn't want to see you install another 
PDF reader on their system?) before you actually launch its MSI.
