There's an msi that skips the original activation notice and can make the installation silent, PM me your e-mail and i'll send it to you

Same here. i think you're gonna have to upload the thing somewhere and paste a link...

I found an AutoIT 3 script that does everything, but i'm new to that proggie, and don't know how to HIDE the windows!

Just replace your existing Adobe Photoshop.msi with this one,
Just tested on VMware, it works. (VMware r0x0rs)

Enjoy!

Please note:

In order to install all the parts of photoshop you have to run all these msi's

CODE

PhotoshopCS2\adobe photoshop cs2.msi" /qb
"PhotoshopCS2\commonfilesinstaller\Adobe Common File Installer.msi" /qb
"PhotoshopCS2\bridge\Adobe Bridge 1.0.msi" /qb
"PhotoshopCS2\help center\Adobe Help Center 1.0.msi" /qb
"PhotoshopCS2\stock photography\Adobe Stock Photos 1.0.msi" /qb

where photoshopcs2 is the adobe photoshop folder on the cd

I think there is still an issue with the help files, i'll look into it

just so I get this straight...

I downloaded the edited msi file supplied and replaced the original

I then created a directory structure identical to that listed above, and created the following runonceex.cmd lines:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\008 /VE /D "Adobe Photoshop CS2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\PhotoshopCS2\adobe_photoshop_cs2.msi" /qb /f
REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\PhotoshopCS2\commonfilesinstaller\adobe_common_file_installer.msi" /qb /f
REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\PhotoshopCS2\bridge\adobe_bridge_1.0.msi" /qb /f
REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 4 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\PhotoshopCS2\help center\adobe_help_center_1.0.msi" /qb /f
REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 5 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\PhotoshopCS2\stock photography\adobe_stock_photos_1.0.msi" /qb /f

do I need to include any other files in the directory, or just the 5 msi files?

Also, in the above example, the /qb commands are not included in the quotation marks. Shouldn't they be included WITHIN the quotation mark like so:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\008 /V 5 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\PhotoshopCS2\stock photography\adobe_stock_photos_1.0.msi /qb" /f
