When you purchase a volume license for Adobe Creative Suite 4, Adobe provides an option that allows you to run a silent installation with preselected options and no interface on Windows or Mac OS X. In a silent installation, a custom installer runs each product in the suite by using command-line installation tools. Silent installations are also used as basis for enterprise deployment of Creative Suite 4 products.
This document will cover the process and files necessary to run the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product silently. For additional information on this process please refer to the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Enterprise Manual Deployment Guide:

By default, installation installs all components of Creative Suite 4 product in the default location. The interface settings will be the defaults. So, when the first Creative Suite application is launched, the user will be prompted to supply a serial number, accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA) and enter registration information. Also, the Adobe Update Manager will automatically check for available updates.
Performing a silent installation starts with configuring the appropriate XML files. During the configuration process you will create 3 XML files:
- install.xml
- uninstall.xml
- application.xml.override
We have developed a tool to simplify the process of creating the files necessary to silently install the Adobe Creative Suite 4 products. The Creative Suite Deployment Tool (CSDT) will create a custom package that will reduce the steps necessary to create a package. You can download it here:
You must have a single source of the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product installer. If you received the product on multiple DVDs or files you must create an installation point. For additional information on creating a installation point please follow, Install CS4 products from desktop | Windows XP, Vista or Install Adobe Creative Suite 4 or point products from the desktop | Mac OS. You can store the installation source locally on the machine or in a shared network location.
Creative Suite 4 uses XML files to configure behavior.
- application.xml.override
This file configures the interface elements that appear during the first launch of a Creative Suite 4 application. You will need to create this file and place it in the main 'driver' payload folder. - install.xml and uninstall.xml
These files control which components of Creative Suite are installed and uninstalled, respectively. You can modify these files to remove individual component 'payloads'. The same modifications need to be made to both files. These XML files do not require a specific name to be used during deployment.
Launching the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product with the option --record=1 will assist you in creating the install and uninstall XML files. The application.xml.override file must be created manually unless CSDT is used to create your package. For complete details on how to configure these files, see the Enterprise Deployment Manual provided above.
A silent installation on Windows is started by running setup.exe through a command line. Open the command prompt as an administrator and enter the following command from the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product setup.exe directory.
setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile='<path to>install.xml'
Replace <path to> with the full path to the custom install.xml you created, including quotes.
Replace <path to> with the full path to the custom install.xml you created, including quotes.
CSDT will create an installer for initiating the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product installation. Run the executable file on the command line to perform the installation.
UberInstaller.exe
A silent installation on Macintosh started by running the setup executable as super user through a command line. Use the following command line from the directory where setup is.
sudo Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup --mode=silent --deploymentFile='<path to>/install.xml'
Replace <path to> with the full path to the custom install.xml file you created, including quotes.
Replace <path to> with the full path to the custom install.xml file you created, including quotes.
The CSDT will create an installer for initiating the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product installation. Run the application file on the command line to perform the installation.
sudo UberInstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup
Existing product updates can be included as part of the initial product deployment. To include product updates, use the following steps:
- Expand (.zip) or mount (.dmg) the product update downloads.
- Locate the update's Payloads folder (if it exists) and move it's contents into the Payloads folder of the single installer source you built per the instructions above.
- Locate the update's Extensions folder and move it's contents into the Extensions folder of the single installer source you built per the instructions above.
Note: If the update you have downloaded does not have an Extensions folder, it cannot be installed as part of this deployment method.
Use one or more of the following steps to troubleshoot silent installations:
Many Creative Suite 4 deployments fail because of typos, formatting issues or other issues with the application.xml.override file. Follow the example below:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Configuration> <Payload> <Data key='Serial' protected='0'>000000000000000000000000</Data> <Data key='Registration'>Suppress</Data> <Data key='EULA'>Suppress</Data> <Data key='Updates'>Suppress</Data> </Payload> </Configuration>
Common mistakes include:
- Case sensitive words being all lower case, or all upper case (all strings, and tags in XML are case sensitive)
- Not using the Format > Make Plain Text option in TextEdit (Mac only - by default TextEdit saves as RTF format)
- Make sure that the file is called application.xml.override and has no extensions (use get info, or file properties to verify)
- application.xml.override file not located in the proper location (check the Setup.xml file in the Payloads folder to find the location of the driver folder)
2. Find specific error messages in the log files.
Most errors that occur during a silent installation will appear in the installation logs. For details on how to find and read these files, see, Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4. These error messages might indicate what you need to do to solve the issue, or you can search on these errors in the Adobe knowledgebase.
If a standard (non-silent) installation does not produce an issue, then there may be an issue with one of the custom installer files. Make sure the installer files have no typos and that the information in the tags (such as serial number) are correct.
If the error does occur in a standard installation, the error messages given may have additional information, or you can search for those error messages in Adobe's knowledge base.
Various applications and processes can conflict with the installation of Creative Suite 4. While a standard installation will display a list of conflicting processes during the installation process, a silent install will fail and put an error message in the installation log.

Soundbooth is a discontinued digital audio editor by Adobe Systems Incorporated for Windows XP, Windows Vista, 7 and Mac OS X. Adobe has described it as being 'in the spirit of SoundEdit 16 and Cool Edit 2000'. Adobe also has a more powerful program called Adobe Audition, which replaced Soundbooth as of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium. Soundbooth, discontinued in 2011, was aimed at creative professionals who do not specialize in audio or people who need a simple editing program and do not require the full features of Adobe Audition. Due to Intel-specific code, Adobe stated that the Mac OS X version would only be available for machines using Intel processors. Soundbooth CS4 was the first version to support 64-bit officially.
Key features[edit]
Creation of the Adobe Sound Document allows Adobe Flash to create multi-track audio projects in Soundbooth.[1] Soundbooth also features dynamic linking that allows video sequences from Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro to be played in Soundbooth without having to first be rendered, a feature that is expected to save users time.[1]

Comparing Soundbooth to Audition[edit]
Free Adobe Audition Cs6
The major difference between the programs is that Soundbooth uses a task-based interface and Adobe Audition uses a tool-based interface.[2] Another difference is that Soundbooth uses royalty-free scores and sound effects whereas Adobe Audition uses music loops and allows for low latency multi-track recording.[2]
Criticism[edit]
Many users have commented on the lack of simple features that were found in programs like Sound Edit 16 and Cool Edit Pro; for example, the ability to create a new file or to 'reverse' a sound.[citation needed]
Lack of simple batch processing makes it a chore when needing to simply speed up, clean up (pops or crackles), or apply a pitch change to all of the files in a project. Each chapter, track, or MP3 file must be opened, applied, and saved independently; contrary to customer expectations of features that freeware has provided for many years.
In response, Durin Gleaves (of Adobe) in a post dated 31 March 2007 said, 'I agree that Reverse would be an obvious feature, but I'm afraid it's not going to make it into version 1.0 [CS3]. I assure you that several of us are pushing to see it in 2.0 [CS4].'[3]
Creating a new file was added in CS4. While the feature to 'reverse' a sound was never implemented after its discontinuation.[4]
Discontinuation[edit]
Adobe stated on its website that: 'Sales of Adobe Soundbooth audio software ended on April 24, 2011. Adobe Audition CS5.5 is replacing Soundbooth in Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium software, based on customer requests for a professional audio toolset that integrates with the Adobe workflow. This decision brings the best features from the Adobe family of audio solutions into a single cross-platform package, focusing on the need for high-performance audio in post-production workflows. By combining the power and precise control Adobe Audition users have long appreciated with the more modern interface and streamlined workflow Soundbooth users value, Adobe Audition CS5.5 offers the flexibility and quality of a full-featured audio tool designed for speed and efficiency on both Mac OS and Windows.'[This quote needs a citation]
