Photoshop 10.0.1 update help

Question

Hello,
Recently i have deployed Adobe CS3 on our network via the silent install mode. Everything worked great but now we want to update Photoshop on our client-computers.
Is there a way to update this program silently just the install? Or is there maybe another method to deploy these update (like Illustrator) automaticly without having the users notice it?
Thanks in advance

Hi dkmashino,
The way I see it is that since CS3 is no longer supported [since CS5.5 is the current version], there will be no more updates for CS3.  The only application that's still updated is Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 [from CS3.3], and those are released quarterly [4 times a year] on a regular maintenance schedule from Adobe until that stops.  Keep in mind that Adobe Acrobat also uses a different Adobe Updater after Acrobat version 9.2.0, and that updater doesn't have the same issue as the CS3 updater does.
So, what I've been doing for new deployments and prepping machines is installing CS3, setting the clock back to October 1, 2011 or earlier, running all updates, and setting the clock back to the current date.  Make sure you remember to set your clock back to the current date, especially if you chose an earlier date like January 1, 2011, because the Acrobat updater won't run if the clock is set too far back.
Hope that helps!
