Silent install of Creative Cloud desktop only

I need to install the Creative Cloud Desktop App from SCCM.

This is the only thing I need to install, I do not need to package Apps to install when the installation happend.

And I do not have access to the teams site. I am not the administrator of the software, so telling me to use the packager will not work since I cannot get the Packager. And since I am only trying to install the Desktop App, why would I have to go through the trouble of using the Creative Cloud Packager. This makes no sense.

It was only two or three years ago that what I am trying to do was possible. So I am not sure what I was doing then is not working now.

Can someone point me in the direction to do this? I can only find information that is telling me to use the Packager only online.

@youngjedi, any specific reason why you are trying the SCCM route. Can you please help to share more details around your actual usecase? If you only want to install the desktop app on one machine, you can directly go to https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud and download the installer it will be much more simpler.

Where is the easy method of pushing updates for the main Creative Cloud application? You guys can't just make an MSI or a proper installer for the application? The one that's being released through the link below needs to be ran as a local user, and then have someone with administrative access type in their administrative credentials on that computer. I can simply download and push out an MSP package to update Acrobat, but not the CC application. Does this exist, and I just missed it? We need a way to simply push updates to our users without re-creating packages through this very unusual system. I appreciate the package manager for installation, but it really makes the update process bloated and compersome.

URL to the CC installer that seems to requires a local user to run it and then elevate privlidges later (!?):

install the cc desktop app from here https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud and use it to install your adobe subscription and trial programs.

if you have trouble downloading the cc desktop app or you see an error message when trying to install, make sure you have a compatible os (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html), and use the alternative download links at page bottom here, https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

The desktop installer will not allow me to just install the software through SCCM. It needs to be a silent install in which there is no user interaction. Using the silent flag no longer works with this install.

We are deploying the app to a huge amount of people and we do not want to have to manually install it every time a user needs the desktop app installed. They install their own Apps after the desktop App is installed and they log into it.

that's an admin task. even if they're delegating the job, they need to gather the resources needed. or have them contact support via the admin console.
