you might want to edit out your s/n in the download...just a suggestion...Also, you may want to edit your post to remove any hint of a keygen. AFAICT its ok to use in your autoit script, but prolly looked down upon talking about it in an open forum

@scuzzy47: Very, very nice. A clean script using the full installer.

Is it possible to adapt the script for the whole Adobe CS2 Suite?

i wrote up a full autoscript code that will install and activate during install, with the use of a keygen to activate it but not to get a key..

there are several steps that need to be done, one is to open abcpy.ini and put in your key and user name. And use a batch file to start the msi silently

i am not sure if i can post it, if i am allowed i will post it, if not i will kindly delete this post

Just post it. It's not like you're telling us where to get the keygen, or even which keygen it is that you're using (but I'm sure the more saavy people can guess). It's not warez to post a script that does nothing illegal. It's kinda like how NFOrce and iSONEWS can have .nfo files, but no serials in the NFO.

i made another topic, for this since it doesn't exactly fit this one

The AutoIt bottom line: if you can do it with a keyboard and/or mouse, you can do it with AutoIt. And a whole lot more.

Updated forum script for PS CS 2....don't know if it works...and don't frankly care...just did some clean up, to where it should be easier to fix any error's that maybe in it.

Hello!
To disassociate .png files for photoshop? after msi silent installer?
Thx
P.D.: Sorry for my english

To disassociate the files png, to use this value in the registry


Bye!

is that work on many system or only one system that we make activate?

Hi,

Just to be 100% sure :
It's is not possible to completely install photoshop CS2 silently just with batch ?
Without any kind of serial or registration windows, even int the first launch of the soft, or without the 30days expiration ?

Scuse my poor english

Tnx for the reply

Hi,

It is very possible to do what you just asked. But currently, it is difficult to do on MULTIPLE machines. It is not advisable to use this for mass deployment without the use of an autoit script that runs a keygen. Don't expect any help past that point, though. Even suggesting that to you might be pushing the envelope.

But if you're just going to use this on your own machine, it's very possible, and mildly easy (just time consuming).

It's not difficult at all to make an AutoIt script that performs a LEGAL online activation. In fact I did this for a design studio. Nothing fancy about the AutoIt script either. Just your basic ControlClick and ControlSend. In fact there's probably an example in the AutoIt sticky thread in this forum. The only part that's possibly tricky is finding and deleting the custom action that pops up activation during the install. If you delete that custom action, activation can wait until the first time you run Photoshop.

Yeah, i'm able to make a total silent install on one machine (with the dat file).
i will jste know if its possible on multiple machien, because i don't have aces to internet when i install windows on multiple computer.
But if it's impossible, i will made the classical online registration.

Tnx for your help

Uhm, question, why didn't you put this in the $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product Licenses on your CD This will save you about 4 lines of code

Also going to try this way of installing right now.

Right guys,

I've read through the majority of posts regarding CS2 silent installs and have a couple of issues i need help with.

I'll explain what i am trying to do first:

Unattended XP set-up - using RunOnceEX to install programs

So far everything is isntalling well APART from Photoshop CS2

I've downloaded the modified msi from these pages and constructed the appropriate files to do the following:

Everything is placed in $OEM$\Install\Adobe Photoshop CS2

RunOnceEX calls the reg file and a install.cmd (both of which are in above folder)

At the minute i think i have an issue with my code as I get 4 'installer cannot be found' errors messages during the RunOnceEX process (i think caused by an issue with ' in the code) - however when it did find the installers i got 'invalid windows installer' error message.

So to continue through the RunOnceEX install process i have to be there and close the error messages.

Thing is, once its rebooted after this process i can route to my XP CD run the install.cmd file from there and everything is perfect - totally silent and requring no user input and fully activated...

I will post my code later when i get home.

I dont know if this is the best way to do it but i was struggling with coding it to do this directly with RunOnceEX so just thought it easier to call a premade cmd based around the examples in this thread...

If i could sort this my own unattended XP would be complete! - so any input/help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Ok guys,

A day late but heres my appropriate code!

RunOnceEX.cmd entry:

Cs2install.cmd:



Thanks

i will install it using my own mst file without the customaction.
i have one question for the activation. i work with a few computers that run photoshop (each is licensed properly). will it work for all of them if i copy all .dat files (in each computer) in my unattended to the license folder? so this way i can use the same setup for all the computers here and all will be activated with their proper license?

thanks.

i think making a mst file during setup routine will help you get rid of file associations and other options. just a suggestion.

Just a little note, Adobe Help Center 2.0 is released
