I have been working on my unattended DVD, and I have successfully installed Macromedia Studio MX 2004. I'm happy that it installs, but I cannot find any way to insert my serial number into the install, so I don't have to drag the box out every time I reinstall. Is there any way of doing this? (BTW, this is an installshield installer. I put the setup.iss file with my setup files and directed a log file since I am using AutoExec.)

The serial number should be inside the setup.iss file after you created it - at least it was in an older version of Macromedia Studio that I installed for a friend.
You did create setup.iss by logging your install, correct?

Yeah, I ran setup.exe -r to get the setup.iss file. The problem with the installation is that it doesn't ask me for a serial number while installing. It only asks me for the serial number when I launch the actual program once it's installed.

I guess you are using the trial version. Anyways, here it is.
CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Dreamweaver\7\Registration]
"Serial Number"="YOUR-SERIAL-NUMBER-HERE"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Fireworks\7\Registration]
"Serial Number"="YOUR-SERIAL-NUMBER-HERE"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Flash\7\Registration]
"Serial Number"="YOUR-SERIAL-NUMBER-HERE"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FreeHand\111\Registration]
"Serial Number"="YOUR-SERIAL-NUMBER-HERE"

Yes this sounds like the trial version. More or less youl have an evaluation key which is pointless to install with an unattend.
I would contact Macromedia for a full version backup of the product. They have always required that the serial be entered post install or immediately pre install.
