Creative Cloud Files with Adobe Acrobat CC with CC membership - Win10 Install/Uninstall options

Just did some test deployments of Adobe DC (not enterprise)

Ran the CC package tool.

So by default CC is installed.

Couple of questions

1) CC installed the "Create Cloud Files" folder in C:\Users\%username%\Creative Cloud Files. Dont want this. Also installed the folder in File Explorer. So I uninstalled CC (leaving Adobe DC installed). after install this CC stuff is still there. Any other way then changing the reg setting?

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49-7CB23CA4A992}

  1. System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree

I can script the removal of the Folder from C: and push out a GPO reg change for above. But is all this necessary when using the build Mgr and you just want Adobe DC installed? But assumed you needed Creative Cloud installed to register each users.

2) Better deployment path? If so, can I push the .exe via --silent cmd params, and config an XML file somewhere that contains the user info?

3) What is best way to control updates? Can I use my internal deployment tool PDQDeploy?

Thanks,

Deploying the msi (NB- the Acrobat msi not the Build msi) will not include the CC Desktop App. Also if you like you can open the Acrobat msi in Customization Wizard to further customize via mst. Welcome to the Wizard — Acrobat Customization Wizard DC for Windows

To clean up unwanted folders try Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems and Uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application  - however the above method should not include these.

Hi,

Try just running the Acrobat msi. You can find this in your package at Build\Setup\APRO15.0\Adobe Acrobat\

Yes I can deploy the exe or msi directly.

What about the CC cleanup. of these folders after uninstall?
