If your installation media came on 4 CDsDVDs, you may feel unlucky. Some Adobe genius couldn't predict that most corporate deployments happen over network. So if you copy contents of these CD-ROMs DVDs somewhere to a network location, run Deployment Toolkit to create a silent installer, it will not work. Apparently, after installing programs from disk 1, silent installer will want to access disk 2. As it is a silent installer, it can't ask you to place a correct disk and will fail with a meaningless exit code, like:
* Exit code: 6 Silent workflow completed with errors
* Exit code: 7 Unable to complete the silent workflow
Who made an silent installer which will want to access different CD-ROMs DVDs is beyond my understanding.
A workaround is to create a <code>Adobe CS4</code> directory and copy <code>payloads</code> and <code>extensions</code> directories from all CD-ROMs DVDs there (if there are files that already exist, just overwrite them - some content is duplicated among CD-ROMsDVDs), i.e. like that:
* Adobe CS4\payloads
* Adobe CS4\extensions
