CS4 Installation/Deployment Problem

Question

Hello All,
I am new to the forum so I want to thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
I have been given the task of deploying CS4 Enterprise to our organization.  Using the process described in the CS4 Deployment guide I made install.xml and uninstall.xml files for all of the applications in the suite.
I can install any one application using the deploymentFile in silent mode.  (Been doing it from command line for testing).  Anyway, once one app is successfully installed on any given machine, I will always get an Error and an Exit Code of 7 when trying to install any subsequent CS4 application.
Hoping to figure out what was going on I ran it again without the --mode=Silent switch and found that the problem is not with the xml.override file, as eula is suppressed and the serial key is being added automatically.  The problem is that it seems like the installer is ignoring the install.xml deployment file, as I am being prompted to pick which applications I wish to install from the custom install menu.  Obviously this is what is causing the interruption to the silent workflow.
Has anyone ever experienced this?  I can't figure it out.  Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
mb

I'm also having issues with Design Standard and getting the same exit code 7.
We have a bunch of people using the seperate CS products and I've managed to sucessfully set them up but the Design Studio and Web Permium installs seem to be causing me some issues.
Can you please post a step-by-step of what you did for the Design Standard install?
I've run through the install using --record and created the insta.xml and remove.xml files.
I've created the override file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">-1</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
An placed it in the payloads\AdobeDesignSuiteStandard4-mul folder and run the correct install command.
\\serverpath\setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile=\\serverpath\install.xml
Things seem to be kicking off the install fine then just stop after about 4-6 minutes with the exist code 7.
My install command line uses UNC paths, is this likley to cause an issue?
Any help would be great.
