This week, Adobe announced the latest version of its consumer image-editing package, Photoshop Elements 5. It's taken a while for the software to crawl out from the shadow of its celebrity sibling. Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 is the fifth major version of the Photoshop Elements application for consumers, released only for Microsoft Windows. It was also available in a bundle with Premiere Elements 3.0 in 2006. On December 15, 2012, activation servers for Adobe Creative Suite 2 applications were shut down, which also affected Photoshop Elements 4.0 and 5.0. Registered users who wished to. Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 overview and full product specs on CNET.
For deployment of Adobe Photoshop Elements 5, the following procedure works well:1) Create an administrative install:
msiexec /a 'e:Adobe Photoshop ElementsAdobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 (en_us).msi' TARGETDIR=serversharedir /qb
2) Copy the files 'Data1.cab' and 'common.msi' from the CD to the same directory as the admin install ('serversharedir').
3) Create a text file called 'Abcpy.ini' in 'serversharedir'. Fill it with the following text:
[OEM Install]
SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
where 'XXXX...' is your serial number.
4) Create a transform (MST) for your Photoshop Elements MSI file and do your desired changes. Also add these registry keys to avoid AULA and registration prompt for the users:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{A7B609FB-83D8-4FC3-8477-1BC65ECFE85B}]
'epic_eula_accepted'=dword:00000001
'EPIC_EULA_ACCEPTED_TIME'='2006-11-01 10:00'
'epic_eula_selected'=dword:00000000
'EPIC_EULA_SELECTED_LOCALE'='en_us'
'EPIC_REGS_COUNT'=dword:00000004
'EPIC_REGS_DATE'='2006-11-01 10:00'
'EPIC_REGS_DECLINE_COUNT'=dword:00000000
'EPIC_REGS_STATE'=dword:00000001
'EPIC_REGS_TYPE'=dword:00000004
5) Optionally create a transform for the common.msi. Remove the custom action CA_WFMInstall to avoid installation of MS Windows Media Player.
6) For the help Center 2.1, this is special, since this help center is used by many Adobe products. The Help Center MSI will upgrade previous versions of Help Center, like 1.0 and 2.0. Not all of the Adobe products will automatically install help files if the help center is too new. For example, Adobe Creative Suite CS2 looks for Help Center 1.0. If you got for example 2.0 installed, no help files will be installed.
Anyway, for the Help Center 2.1, located on the Elements CD, create a transform which removes the custom action 'ThrowUninstallWarning'.
The best way to handle this is to install the help center seperatly from the applications themselves. Use the upgrade function (i.e do not uninstall old versions, let the new versions upgrade the old ones), since an uninstall of help center will delete all help files.
Then create a seperate MSI for each application's help file. For Photoshop Elements, this file is called
PhotoshopElements_5.0_en_us.zip
Install this .zip into
[ProgramFilesFolder]AdobeAdobe Help CenterAdobeHelpDataPackages
Do this also for the other Adobe Products using help center.
7) Now, install your components in this order:
common.msi (with optional transform)
Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 (xx_xx).msi (with transform)
Your help file msi
Adobe Help Center 2.1 (without removing old versions, it will upgrade automatically)
