Don't use the ( ) when entering your serial number.

Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that.. Well at least you're not banned anymore. I'm glad it's working for you.

I download his msi so I can give you a good answer to you question. In short, we are going on the same direction. He also removed the custom action like what I did. I hope this answers your question. Wait, if you already have his modified msi, why do you have to make a new one? mrmb, I think you should compress your msi (with winrar) to save bandwidth. Uncompressed - 4.85 MB (5,091,328 bytes) Compressed - 1.09 MB (1,145,971 bytes)

I attached the MST again. I tried it on my current system twice without any problem. orustom, instead of editing the msi directly, try using the mst. I'm not familiar with Orca, but if you remove the custom action, you have to remove it to the sequence also. And should not delete it from the binary table. (If I'm not mistaken, it's under binary24) That's probably why you're getting an error. The target of CA_ActivationCheckLicense is CallALMCheckLicense. That is the activation window. The custom action CA_ActivationCheckProductActivationStatus is also under binary24, that's why I thought you have to remove it also.

This is what I did. First, I entered my license number in the INI file, then ran this command. start /w "Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi" transforms="Adobe Photoshop CS2.mst" /qb!- I didn't run all the other msi's because I'm only concerned about the activation window. Luckily, it didn't show up because of the transform file. But I have to do a test again, on a clean system.

Sorry but I can't really help you on that because I don't use Orca. He removed that for sure, because that is the custom action that triggers the activation window. Well, there are other possible ways to disable that. Maybe he didn't remove the action, but he changed the condition so it will not be called. Or maybe he didn't remove it from the table, but he removed it in the execute sequence.

that's weird.. try /qr what did you do? how did you edit the msi?

Wow! Nice code!

Please post your results.

Here is my MST file. I removed the CA_ActivationCheckLicense custom action. This should work on the RETAIL version. Not sure if it will work on the trial because I think they use different MSI's. EDIT: The only difference between the trial and the retail msi is the UNITYSECTION. Therefore, this should work with the trial as well. I made this for those who don't have fast internet connection. 5kb is way much easier to download compared to 5mb. EDIT2: File attached again. Adobe_Photoshop_CS2.mst

All you need to do is remove the custom action in the execute sequence. Remove this: CA_ActivationCheckLicense You can try deleting this also: (not sure if this is necessary) CA_ActivationCheckProductActivationStatus

Yes it was down earlier for about 10 mins.

Of if you don't like my installer, you can always try AutoIt.

Hello The Barfly. Try my installer. ResEdit 2.200010 MSI Download HERE To install silently, run the EXE installer with the /s switch. Or extract the MSI inside and run it using the regular MSI switches. EDIT: File re-uploaded. Fixed command line switch.

Now I'm getting confused..

Happy birthday!!

To install it, simply use /qn, /qb, /quiet, ect.. All the regular msi switches should work because I used msi version 3.0 (I think) It's bigger than the original installer, because theres no easy way to compress an msi. But for some softwares, I can make the msi smaller compared to the original exe installer. I don't know why..

InstallShield!

Probably a typo.
