Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

Install source is a Virtual CD mounted ISO image and content can't be altered or new abccopy.ini file added.

I'm using this command line:

msiexec /i "D:\Adobe Photoshop Elements\Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 (fr_fr).msi" USERNAME="ÿ" COMPANYNAME="ÿ" ENCSERIALNUMBER="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" /qr /norestart

Open Command Prompt to kill last Install Wizard windows

taskkill /f /im msiexec.exe

Apply some tweaks

:// avoid users being prompted to look for updates
reg add "HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater" /v Entreprise /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
:// disable the Adobe Photo Downloader
reg add "HKLM\Software\Adobe\Photoshop elements\4.0\Adobe Photo Downloader\Preferences" /v AutoLaunchOnDeviceConnect /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
:// registration done
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_TYPE" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_STATE" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_LANG" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}" /v "EPIC_REGS_COUNT" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /t

Note:

export the data value ENCSERIALNUMBER from registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B-9FDC-954C10F266B0}
"EPIC_SERIAL"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

How to detect end of Install Wizard unattended to kill msiexec?

If it doesn't initiate a secondary install routine you can get away with START/WAIT:

start/wait msiexec /i ......

taskkill /f /im msiexec.exe
