Advice for Best Re-installation of CC?

Question

Hi All,I just scoured Adobe CC and as much Adobe stuff as possible from my sluggish iMac. I also used that Adobe Cleaner Tool and give the iMac a good run-through with the Onyx utility.Now I'd like to re-install CC and some of its apps again—but just the ones that I need.Can any of you good folks give recommendations on the cleanest way to do it? I'd like to minimise the amount of (possibly spurious) stuff that it might put back onto on my iMac.For example:the Adobe Desktop Assistant chews up quite a lot of RAM and I'm not even sure how necessary it is. Maybe it's unavoidable?there's some Core thingsome sort of Sync thingI'm looking forward to your thoughts on this John

Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

And a big thank you to Jim @ Prodesigntools for helping me with these links!
