I think I got it.
To everybody who is interested: just share my knowledge ***AS IS***
How to run a silent mode installation:
Edit the Abcpy.ini (this file is in the same directory as "Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi")
Modify the "OEM Install" section
Code:
[OEM Install]
SERIALNUMBER=1234-5678-9012-3456-7890-1234
SERIALNUMBERTRYOUT=
USERNAME=Your Name
COMPANYNAME=The Company
INSTALLDIR=
How to suppress the Registration dialog box:
With Orca, open the installer "Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi"
Create a new transform file
In the column "Table", go to "Registry"
Add four keys
Code:
Registry = Custom1
Root = 2
Key = SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]
Name = EPIC_REGS_TYPE
Value = #00000004
Component = Reg_HKLM
Registry = Custom2
Root = 2
Key = SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]
Name = EPIC_REGS_STATE
Value = #00000002
Component = Reg_HKLM
Registry = Custom3
Root = 2
Key = SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]
Name = EPIC_REGS_LANG
Value = #00000000
Component = Reg_HKLM
Registry = Custom4
Root = 2
Key = SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductCode]
Name = EPIC_REGS_COUNT
Value = #00000000
Component = Reg_HKLM
Little explanation
- Registry: Choose a name
- Root: (this is how I think it is...)
0 = HKCR
1 = HKCU
2 = HKLM
3 = HKU
4 = HKCC
- Key: Do not forget to delete the preceeding "HKLM\"
- Name: The Entry name in the registry
- Value: The value for the Entry
If you want to add a DWORD (like in this example), you will need a preceeding #-sign
- Component: I get the impression this can be different depending on the MSI. In this case, "Reg_HKLM" seems to work.
Now launch your installation, p.e.
Code:
@msiexec.exe /i "\\Server\Share\Deeper\Adobe Photoshop CS2.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\Server\Share\Deeper\Adobe Photoshop CS2.mst" /qb!
Or create a group policy in your active directory that you only apply to a group of (users or) computers.
