Customizing Adobe CS4 Installation

Photoshop is not familiar to those of you who like to edit photos and the designers studio, photoshop is commonly used and familiar. The following I'll post about Customizing Adobe CS4 Installation.
Please note, I myself was not 100% satisfied with what I know, but hacks have been working very well for more than two months in XP SP3 and Vista SP1. And as always, you do this at your own risk. Read on if we understand each other.



Photoshop CS4 (Extended)





  1. Navigate to /Adobe CS4/payloads/.

  2. Open /AdobeBridge3All/AdobeBridge3All.proxy.xml with a text editor.

  3. Search for .

  4. Delete everything within , except two blocks with type="critical", make it look exactly like screenshot #1.

  5. Open /AdobePhotoshop11-Core/AdobePhotoshop11-Core.proxy.xml, repeat step 3-4, make it look exactly like screenshot #2.

  6. Save both files. Oh did I tell you to backup first? ;-)

  7. Run setup and wave goodbye to craps.



Illustrator CS4




If you already edited AdobeBridge3All.proxy.xml in a previous Photoshop installation and successfully got rid of Adobe Bridge, you won't need to touch the one in Illustrator. Otherwise, treat it the same way (step 1-4 of the Photoshop section above).

Then, yes, /AdobeIllustrator14mul/AdobeIllustrator14mul.proxy.xml, and here's screenshot #3 for your referrence.


Design Premium CS4




Files you need to edit are:


  • /AdobeBridge3All/AdobeBridge3All.proxy.xml

  • /AdobeDreamweaver10-mul/AdobeDreamweaver10-mul.proxy.xml

  • /AdobeFireworks10All/AdobeFireworks10All.proxy.xml

  • /AdobeFlash10-mul/AdobeFlash10-mul.proxy.xml

  • /AdobeIllustrator14mul/AdobeIllustrator14mul.proxy.xml

  • /AdobeInDesign6AppBase-mul/AdobeInDesign6AppBase-mul.proxy.xml

  • /AdobePhotoshop11-Core/AdobePhotoshop11-Core.proxy.xml

  • /AdobeVersionCue4All/AdobeVersionCue4All.proxy.xml


Edit how? You've already learned that.

One tip is, if you kept, let's say "Adobe XMP Panels CS4" in one of the xml files, you can delete it when you see it else wheres.

I don't use anything other than Photoshop and Illustrator, so I'm unable to tell you which components are required by other products included in a Creative Suite. Sorry.


Miscellaneous


I'm not gonna guide you through Dreamweaver or Web Premium or anything else neither. Hopefully you can draw inferences about other cases from the above examples.

You're gonna have to trust Adobe this time, what's been tagged as "critical" in the xml files are indeed critical. Sky falls down if you remove them. Here are my understandings (some are just superficial) to several important components. They are required by the CS4 apps or recommended by me:


  • Adobe Anchor Service CS4
    The Lord that rules.

  • Adobe CSI CS4
    The infrastructure that rules, too. I guess the VersionCue Client service which enables the "Open File" dialogs is also included in here.

  • Adobe Type Support CS4
    Support for layers with texts/fonts.

  • Adobe XMP Panels CS4
    Support for the "File Info" dialogs.

  • Adobe CMaps CS4 / Adobe ALM CS4
    Required by Illustrator (?)

  • Adobe Color - Photoshop Specific CS4

  • Adobe Color NA Recommended Settings CS4

  • Adobe Color CommonSetRGB

  • Adobe Color CommonSetCMYK


Finally, apologize again because I do not have the time and energy to provide a more detailed and subtle tutorial. Hope as many people can hopefully benefit from this post.
