IDM = Internet Dowload Manager, also file could be downloaded with Opera browser (when it says error you just click "Resume Transfer")

abcpy.ini is the oldest metthod and sure shot to configure adobe products for silent install.

activation is computer specific - if you activate on x computer - reinstall xp + adobe copying activated %appdata%\adobe may work. it'll not work on another computer.

Theres also an transfer activation to another computer option in activation popup. you could try that

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.

;***************************************************************
;Adobe Installer External Configuration File: Abcpy.ini
;***************************************************************

;***************************************************************
;Main Section
;The (Product) key is a required key
;***************************************************************
[MAIN]
Product=Adobe(R) Photoshop CS2
AbcpyVersion=2.0


;***************************************************************
;OEM Installation Options
;***************************************************************
[OEM Install]
SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
SERIALNUMBERTRYOUT=
USERNAME=Joe Blow
COMPANYNAME=mycomputer.com
INSTALLDIR=

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!

To auto activate this is what i did.

1. install photoshop normally
2. create folder on desktop (or where ever you want it to be)
3. copy contents of photoshop disc to this folder
4. replace the .msi as explained earlier in this thread
5. edit the .ini as explained earlier
6. go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses\
7. copy b2b8600.dat to the root of folder you copied your disc to
8. create a batch file (install.bat) in the folder you created

 
COPY B2B86000.DAT "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses"

"Adobe photoshop CS2.msi /qn"
 

now if you add this to your unattended install reference the batch file instead of the .msi

i know this works on the same computer I'm not sure if it will work on multiple computers. (that would be a violation of the EULA anyway)
