Create package with elevated privileges

Question

Create packages for Adobe Creative Cloud

Above link shows how to create a package with elevated privileges, even one with just the desktop app only so that users can manage their CC apps without having admin rights.

I tried installing this using SCCM on a PC that already had CC installed and it continues to fail, it would seem that there is no way for the package to update the desktop app in order to provide this functionality.

I did try manually also with logging and it always exit with error.

I am running WIndows 7 64bit and I really need a way for my users to manage their own apps, especially updating the desktop app is giving me a headache.

Another issue is that creating and installing packages leaves any old version installed, so now people will have Photoshop installed in 3 different versions...

Please tell me how to change the desktop app without having to first uninstall all CC apps, then the desktop app and start all from scratch.

"Another issue is that creating and installing packages leaves any old version installed, so now people will have Photoshop installed in 3 different versions..."

- This is expected. Deploying a package will not uninstall previous versions of applications. However if you deploy the desktop app with elevated privileges then this does uninstall previous versions.
