Killing an application to complete silent install

[lalitdabas99]

I have tried silent installation of Adobe Photoshop CS but the problem is that the installation automatically calls an exe file which is needed for activation of photoshop. Can this exe file be killed or suppressed ? Otherwise installation does not complete until this exe is cancelled.

Similiar is the case for DAP8.5 (download accelerator)

Please help.

I think it can be killed .Then active PS after the installation of Windows

If you have a msi editor like orca or installshield you can probably stop the registration window lauching by editing the Custom Action table and creating an MST file

Or just use the built in command to call taskkill in the second commandline....

You click on the little drop down box and select TaskKill and then add a space and the proccesses name. How easier could it be?

Taskkill.exe /IM Blah.exe....

Can anyone tell me what to edit within msi installer so that activation window does not appear while installing Photoshop cs

look for the name of the exe bieng called, then use the taskkill method abovew or edit the msi to stop it calling the exe when finished (would be a post install option in the msi)
