Unable to silently install CS3 Design Standard in windows 7

Question

I have a problem with silently installing CS3 Design Standard in Windows 7.
I have done a silent install packages using the instructions in the deployment guide.
It works just fine on Windows Vista to deploy using SCCM 2007.
But when deploying the same package on Windows 7 i fails with exit code 7.
Studying the log files tells me the following

nothing says that the system requirements are not fulfilled. Everything works fine.
It just dont work silently....
Does anyone know whats wrong?

Hi, this might be a little late, but who knows, for the future reference, this is what solved the problem for me:
Each major application has a file called appname.proxy.xml in their payload folder. At the bottom of the file, simply remove the OS check:
<SystemRequirementsJSON>[
{"OS":{"Macintosh":{"Require":[{"Version":"10.4.8"}],"Exclude":[{"Version":"10.4.8"}]},"Wi ndows":{"XP":{"Exclude":true,"Require":{"MinServicePack":"2","@servicePack64Bit":1
,"Need64Bit":"0"}},"Server2003":{"Exclude":true},"Vista":{"Require":true}}}
]</SystemRequirementsJSON>
