For a silent install of Photoshop CS3 first create a file called application.xml.override that contains the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Payload>
<Data key="Serial" protected="0">111XXXyour S/N no dashes</Data>
<Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>
<Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
</Payload>
</Configuration>
Save this file in the \\server\share\payloads\AdobeDreamweaver9en_USVolume directory
This file provides the S/N info and suppresses the EULA, registration, and turns off automatic updates.
To install silently from the command line use the following
"\\server\share\setup.exe" --mode=Silent -–deploymentFile=\\server\share\deployment.xml
If you are creating your "application.xml.override" file and copying and pasting from the "cs3_deployment.pdf" to your application.override.xml file, be sure to replace the double-quotes from the pdf. Adobe uses different double-qoutes which won't work.

Silent Install Method
Run Setup.exe with --record=1 option, run through the quick recorded install, grab the two files it spits out at the end and throw them up on the server. Rename them to install.xml and remove.xml (respectively).
With this done, create the application.xml.override as the PDF explained and put it in the proper location (making sure you have the proper quotation marks!). It should be the value of Driver folder indicated in the payloads/Setup.xml.

Run the silent install again pointing to the full path for "install.xml" and you're all set. For my setup the command line I run is [Setup.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile=".\install.xml"] without the brackets.
Silent Uninstall Method
To run a silent uninstall I copy the remove.xml to the %TEMP% directory on the machine and run the following command line ["C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\aef45239e3987fdf2a5e406d559eb22\Setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="%temp%\remove.xml"] without the brackets. Note that i'm running the Setup.exe from the installSourcePath value indicated in the install.xml.
Just an addition to processes that must be killed prior to silent install - add Firefox (v3) to that list.
