Anyone found a way to install the Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta silently?

To install Photoshop CS2 in silent mode:

1. Copy the Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder from the Photoshop CS2 CD to the location from which you intend to install the product (for example , a local disk or server).

2. Open the Abcpy.ini file in the Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder and fill in the following fields with your license information :

USERNAME=

COMPANYNAME=

SERIALNUMBER=

INSTALLDIR=

For example:

USERNAME = John Smith

COMPANYNAME = Adobe Systems

SERIALNUMBER = 0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000

INSTALLDIR= c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2

Note: If you leave the INSTALLDIR= entry blank, then the silent installation will install files and folders to the default location.

3. Save the Abcpy.ini file to the same folder from which you opened it. You can now install from this location on any Windows XP system using the MSI (Microsoft Installer).

4. Choose Start > Run and type the following in the Open field:

msiexec /i “[ path ]\Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi” /qn

The path is the location of the Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder in step 1.

Don't know whether this applies to CS3 too, but you might try it.

Does not.

have you tried the Abcpy.ini way as described above? i noticed the file in the cs3 beta but i havent had the chance to play with it.

Maybe I jumped to conclusions here. I didnt find the file Abcpy.ini when extracting the cs3 installer. And no .msi installer.

I've tried several times to make this beta install silently, but no luck what so ever. Will anyone please help me figure this one out. Thank you.
