Hello guys, after I figured how I can silently install the app, now I want to shrink it, you know, 500MB is to big for me.

simply I want to delete everything except the main program (Adobe Photoshop CS3).

hi, In payloads folder edit setup.xml and leave only these payloads. And delete corresponding folder for each entry you delete.

  <Payload folder="AdobeALMAnchorServiceAll">Adobe CS3</Payload> 
  <Payload folder="AdobeColorCommonSetAll">Adobe CS3</Payload> 
  <Payload folder="AdobeColorNA_RecommendedAll">Adobe CS3</Payload> 
  <Payload folder="AdobeHelpViewerAll">Adobe CS3</Payload> 
  <Payload folder="AdobePhotoshop10en_US_volume">Adobe CS3</Payload> 
  <Payload folder="AdobeTypeSupportAll">Adobe CS3</Payload> 
  <Payload folder="AdobeVersionCueClient3All">Adobe CS3</Payload> 

Then in AdobePhotoshop10en_US_volume folder open AdobePhotoshop10en_US_volume.proxy.xml. And between <Requires></Requires> delete removed components. Should look like this.

  <Requires>
    <ProductInfo>
		<Family>CoreTech</Family>
		<ProductName>ALM</ProductName>

    </ProductInfo>
    <ProductInfo>
		<Family>CoreTech</Family>
		<ProductName>AdobeColorCommonSet</ProductName>

    </ProductInfo>
    <ProductInfo>
		<Family>CoreTech</Family>
		<ProductName>AdobeColorNA</ProductName>

    </ProductInfo>
    <ProductInfo>
        <Family>CoreTech</Family>
        <ProductName>Adobe Help Viewer CS3</ProductName>

    </ProductInfo>
    <ProductInfo>
		<Family>CoreTech</Family>
		<ProductName>AdobeTypeSupport</ProductName>

    </ProductInfo>
    <ProductInfo>
    <Family>Creative Suites</Family>
    <ProductName>Version Cue Client CS3</ProductName>

    </ProductInfo>
  </Requires>

Edit xml's with notepad or the like. I was able to get my silent installer down to 107 mb approx, and it speeds up install time by alot.

oh and you may as well update to 10.0.1, snapshot ur system before and after installation of patch, and replace files on your administrative install source.
