Maybe this will provide the means to a working NSIS-based solution. I am aware this post is lengthy, but hopefully this means that it is also complete. Locate the directory you copied your files to and launch either "Photoshop.exe" or "ImageReady.exe".Copy "B2B86000.dat" back to the directory \Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses\.Copy the registry entries (EPIC_ORG, EPIC_SERIAL, EPIC_NAME) back to their appropriate place in your registry.To run Photoshop or Imageready without installing the application, do the following (it's obvious): UPDATE: In total, this removes approximately 212 MB of unneeded materials and brings the installation down to approximately 26 MB!!!Īt this point you can uninstall Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady CS2 and remove your license file. "EPIC_NAME"="(the name you registered under)" "EPIC_SERIAL"="(your serial registration number without dashes)" "EPIC_ORG"="(your company or organisation you registered under)" Copy the minimum required registry entries by running "regedit".UPDATE: Using UPX v1.95 beta I was able to compress all EXEs and DLLs in the root directory and keep full functionality! You may decided to keep certain folders like for example "Plug-Ins", but it is not necessary for Photoshop CS2 or ImageReady CS2 to operate, and though some plugins will still appear to be available, they will cause no change to the image if selected. \Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses\B2B86000.dat \Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\\Required\*.* \Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\\Activation\(your language/country)\tw12216.dat Create a new directory on your computer and copy the following necessary files for Adobe Photoshop CS2 & Adobe ImageReady CS2 to operate:ĪdobeUpdater.dll (generates error, program runs)Įpic_regs.dll (generates error, program runs, goodbye shortcuts)įileInfo.dll (program runs, error on File>File Info).Install Adobe Photoshop CS2, enter your serial registration, and activate the product.Locate the directory that contains your Adobe Photoshop CS2 setup installation.To write these steps most accurately, I am starting with neither Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady CS2 or its activation license on the machine.
Creating a legitimate, portable Adobe Photoshop & ImageReady CS2 is entirely possible! Creating a working NSIS-based launcher is still in development, however, these are the exact steps I have taken to reach the nearest point.
