jroc Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Adobe mentions how to make a 'silent install' on the support page...dont know if you want to go to the trouble.http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331297.htmlRun a silent installation of Adobe Creative Suite 2.0What's covered Create an installer XML file Run a silent installation When you purchase a volume license for Adobe Creative Suite 2.0, Adobe provides an option that allows you to run a silent installation (that is, an installation with preselected options and no interface) on Windows or Mac OS X. In a silent installation, a custom installer runs the installers for each product in the suite by using command-line installation tools built into the operating system. To run a silent installation, you must create an XML file (or script) for the custom installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Any chance of an updated similar version of Adobe Illustrator CS2.msi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Great find jroc. However, there are some factors to consider.1. This for Creative Suite. I'm not sure if the msi if the Photoshop CS2 supports xml files.2. This is for the VL version (volume license). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 All you need to do is remove the custom action in the execute sequence.Remove this:CA_ActivationCheckLicenseYou can try deleting this also: (not sure if this is necessary)CA_ActivationCheckProductActivationStatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orustom Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I edited the MSI file directly to remove CA_ActivationCheckLicense from the CustomAction section of the MSI as per totoymola's suggestion above. I used Orca to do this.About to test now. Stay tuned for the feedback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
