    So for Acrobat Pro XI I have to follow these steps?

    1.ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre or can I run the msi that is in the ex

    2. Run the setup.exe or msi

    3. ExceptionDeployer.exe --mode=post

    And for the other products created with CCP for example Photoshop CC I have to follow these steps?

    1. Run setup.exe or msi

    2. Exceptiondeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre

    3. Exceptiondeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=post

    What happens if I choose not to run the Exeptiondeployer for Photoshop CC? What is installed from the exceptionfolder? There is a msi-file in the exception folder. Can I run the msi instead of the ExceptionDeployer.exe?

    Thanks,

    John

    Hi McQueen,

    The steps you mentioned above are true . The remaining products that I meant were Adobe Lightroom & Adobe Muse.

    1. I ran ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre to just install acrobat pro xi

    When I launched acrobat I got following message (translated from swedish to english):

    Adobe Application Manager is required to verify your license but is missing or  damaged.

    Download a new version of Adobe Application Manager from...

    2. Then I decided to install Photoshop and Acrobat Pro. I ran this two command lines from a file:

    Exceptiondeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre

    msiexec.exe /i "packagename".msi

    Both Photshop and Acrobat Pro installed and I could launch them both but when I look in add/remove programs in control panel I found two installation of Acrobat Pro XI.

    I have to deploy acrobat to about 50 users and a combinations of adobe products to several of my users.

    I thought CCP would make it easier to deploy your products but I'm not sure anymore
