Adobe PhotoShop CS2 Ver 9.0 Silent

[abadaba]

1:) First of all copy all the files from your installation Cd. After you have copied the files to a destination on your harddrive. Head into the directory "Adobe® Photoshop® CS2."

2:) Download the file that i have attached called "Adobe Photoshop CS2.rar." Decompress the "Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi" file and replace the original, with the one in the rar file.

3:) Edit the file "Abcpy.ini" in the same directory.

4:)Excute command

msiexec /i "[ path ]\Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi" /qn

Now this will kill the inistial activation screen upon install. It will not kill it on the first inistial start of Photoshop. You will still have too go through your activation process. This file, and how-to just allows you to install silently withought the overwelmingly naggy activation screen upon successfull install!

Strange, I was never able to do it this way. I had to actually remove the custom action from the install sequence in the .msi file to delay activation until first run.

Wow! Great! I've been looking for this. Please, make it sticky!

[Alanoll]

I see no reason to make this a sticky. Anyone searching, will be able to see this. Also....wrong forum.

Duud are you replacing the original with mine? Or are you just trying too run it after you download it too where ever? Cuz ive not chanegd the file, and everyone on here has had no probs with it. I jsut tested again on my end and it works just fine.

When I start to download the file It goes alright untill halfway then speeds up to a really quick finish. The file ends up to be 405kbs
