  1. No idea what folder you're referring to but I haven't had an issue yet so I can't really help you. Everything just... works.
  2. Based on information gathered haphazardly from all over the place in this lengthy thread it looks like all you need for a "full" (skipping Stock Photos, of course) installation of Photoshop CS 2 is a batch file with the following commands: cmdow @ /HID @echo off copy B2B86000.dat "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses" /y reg import activation.reg start /wait "Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi" /qb UNITYSELECTION="RETAIL" SERIALNUMBERTEMP="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" start /wait "bridge\Adobe Bridge 1.0.msi" /qb start /wait "commonfilesinstaller\Adobe Common File Installer.msi" /qb start /wait "help center\Adobe Help Center 1.0.msi" /qb exit A dat file containing your activation data in the same folder as your command script And a reg file containing the following: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\ALM\B2B86000] "ActivationReminder"=dword:42dc7ac0 "ActivationType"=dword:00000002 "ActivationStatus"=dword:00000001 Is this pretty much a summary of whatever the devil y'all have came up with after twelve pages of reading? [EDIT] Okay, I changed things a bit with the command script... Now it's: cmdow @ /HID @echo off msiexec /i "Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi" /qb UNITYSELECTION="RETAIL" SERIALNUMBERTEMP="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" msiexec /i "bridge\Adobe Bridge 1.0.msi" /qb msiexec /i "commonfilesinstaller\Adobe Common File Installer.msi" /qb msiexec /i "help center\Adobe Help Center 1.0.msi" /qb exit Copying the activation file over and running the reg import bit didn't seem to do shinola so I happily exorcised it... Plus I had to change a few bits, use msiexec... Everything should run smoothly, just remember to use the modified MSI so Activation doesn't open after the installation end. Then when you first load Photoshop you'll just have to click thru registration and activation... I didn't want to remove registration because I like registering my products. Unless you're doing something illegal and have something to hide (remember... if a million people say "Adobe can afford my using pirating copies..." Adobe won't make any money, ick, then we don't get CS3) you should be fine with that.
  3. Never mind hun, they're allowing downloads now. I'll try to dig up a mirror for you if you'd like. Least I could do, given what you've given me.
  4. It's very nice! Just a few comments, mostly aesthetics, I think it could be even cleaner in terms of unpacking, even silenter even. I ran another pass with WinRAR, used some different settings and added calls to CMDOW (and of course, also turned echo off) and took out the rmdir for people who don't used that specific temp directory at the end... Also added an exit command. In the process I also managed to get it down to 1.19 megs. http://rapidshare.de/files/3187038/NVMixer.exe.html (CMDOW edition) Again very, very nice work! Thank you! Hope you don't me taking a hack to your hack, LOL. Just thought I'd "localize" things a bit for my own specific configuration.
  5. You are Golden my friend, Lord knows how you came up with that. [EDIT] http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=356187 I've posted a complete guide, with info gathered from all of these little posts, on how to silently install this devilish program.
  6. I usually go by icon... And for custom icons I go by resource strings and the like. You know... There's something to be said for a man who thinks looking at resource strings is an easy and healthy way to detect installer switches.
  7. Sorry, but the account 29595 is closed for today. It seems this account is used by many people. We have counted more than 3000 MB of downloads just today! Oh dear. Can you tell us curious ones how you went about making the switchless behemoth?
  8. For MOV files get Quicktime Pro. You can export as AVI.
  9. I fit WinXP with about 20 other programs on 1 700mb cd including office, nav2005, diskeeper, steam and slew of others ... whats your point? If I want to fit more apps on there I need to take space away from somthing.. and Im pretty sure my 250MB WindowsXP i386 folder is about is small as its going to get. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No point, just trying to offer some help is all. No need to get snippy. However if we're in for a measuring contest... My i386 folder is down to a lean, mean 228ish. But again... Not trying to annoy, was just offering suggestion. No need for snippy.
  10. I fit Photoshop CS, Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Office XP on one 700MB CD with Windows XP SP2 Int. And there were even more apps as well. Just trim the bloat from Windows XP with nLite.
  11. I can't even get through making the setup.iss file as towards the beginning setup fails with an "access denied" error for the Asian PDF Font Support. Thanks though, I may just have to restart.
  12. Running it now. Until this point I've been dumping the installers using WinRAR and creating SFXed silent installs. This is about 500 times better! Kudos, mate.
  13. I'd love to send what I can, I'm a bit pressed because of some rather expensive surgery but I feel bad not donating. Can I donate w/o paypal?
  14. As a sidenote I've also managed to use Virtual CD to integrate Windows 2000 AND Office 2003 AIO into one handy bootable CD. What a program!
  15. I setup a wittle SFXed RAR to help y'all out. Should work, works on mine anyway. http://rapidshare.de/files-en/470287/MSAntiSpyware.exe.html
  16. It doesn't install TOO many strange things but things do go to different places, like $Docs and $Progs for example.
  17. Smart move. You can also go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and after setting up associations to what you want, save the extensions for video files as a .REG file and then use the command line REG command to import the settings. Great for when you don't have access to a /regvid command line switch.
  18. Did you remove anything with nLite? I'm also looking at... iis_webadminb = Yes is a briefly mentioned switch in [Components] (ref.chm) that apparently will also install iis_common, iis_www, and iis_inetmgr... Probably a typo, Googlin' it turned up naught. But one for three ain't bad, saves redundancy...
  19. Nothing's wrong with your settings, far as I can tell. I just checked ref.chm (always keep a copy by your night stand) and everything seems correct. B) How odd.
  20. Is that it? No need to edit the .ini file? nope. does not work, setup still gets stuck at the same point That's because he is using the wrong command lines. People are right. USE THE SEARCH!!!
  21. Mind if I tag along for the ride? Been looking for this'n myself. Thanks!
  22. This is even better than the installer I built for .93 using your previous guide. Grazie.
  23. Yep, yep, yep. Also comes in handy when you're testing Linux distros.
  24. I have so much time to waste it's not even funny. The more I think about it, my method would be much more practical and a lot less of a waste of time in say, a preinstallation environment (like WinPE) where you could do something more along the lines of the quick-restore disks. Simply compress C:\Windows to one CABinent, C:\Progra~1 to another CABinent, C:\Docume~1 to another, and so forth. Then you'd really be pimping as far as security is concerned. If you're going to mod the structure, go for the gold. You've given me a very big inspirational mindhump. Bootable DVD, WinPE as the base, UHarc compressed OSes from 3.1 onwards and upwards. WinPE could boot, page the kernel to memory, keep itself on the DVD and you could then decompress whatever OS you wanted, already installed with default settings and programs installed, to the drive / partition of your choice. Only problem would be the HUGE amount of time needed for decompression, but you could sacrifice things and go for something with a faster rate of decompression, like RAR or 7z. Thoughts? Do I have something here? And because we're talking DVD here, there'd be absolutely no need for optimization. Kind of pointless when we're talking 9GB of space to play with. XP doesn't take more than 500 or so, and everything lower than that clocks in at shy of 300, astronomically less when considering 3.1. PE itself's only about 100 or so megs.
