PhotoShop CS 8 Silent

**Worf** · January 28, 2005

Hi Guys.

Ok, firstly, i'm new to this and i'm in the process of setting up an Unattended XP CD.

I've done an Silent install of PhotoShop CS 8 and stopped the Activation screen comming up after the installation has finnished, i'm not sure if it has already been posted? but here it is anyway.

In the Abcpy.ini file you should see the following:

[OEM Install]
DisplayWelcomeDlg=NO
DisplayEULA=NO
DisplayXPDialog=NO
DisplayTypeOfInstallDlg=NO
DisplaySelectDestDirDlg=NO
DisplayCustomDlg=NO
DisplayUserInfoDlg=NO
DisplayConfirmRegDlg=NO
DisplayStartCopyDlg=NO
DisplayFinishDlg=NO
DisplayFinalMessage=NO
DisplayRebootDlg=NO
ProgGroupName=
DefaultDestDir=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop
FName=JOHN
LName=DOE
MI=D
UserCompanyName=
UserSerialNumber=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DisplayBackGround=NO
DisplayProgressBar=NO
ProgressBarStart=NO
ProgressBarEnd=NO

Now scroll down untill you see the following:

;--Launch Objects
[Launches]
NumberOfLaunches=0
Launch1Platform=All
Launch1Language=All
Launch1Type=EXE
Launch1Program=Install.exe
Launch1CmdLine=
Launch1ChangeDir=$Source\Disk1
Launch1Wait=YES


[LauncherApp]
Launch=NO

Where it says [LauncherApp] it will say Launch=YES just change this to NO and the Activation screen will not appear after PhotoShop has been installed.

Hope this help?

Regards
