Allow Creative Cloud XML Configuration to install apps

Question

Similar to how I can create a Microsoft XML Configuration file to control which Microsoft Apps are deployed, it would be great if I could push Creative Cloud out with a custom XML configuration that would then download and install Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, etc.

We are a Microsoft School so everything is deployed and managed by Microsoft Intune - and Adobe's support for Intune is less than spectacular. The default 8GB limitation on package size also means I can't package up all the apps using the Adobe Admin console and then push them out because the package is around 30GB.

Being able to push out the Creative Cloud app and then have it download and install the required apps for staff, students or labs would make my life much easier.

@Robert Harvey The only option is to download the apps/CCD from the Adobe website or package it using the admin console and deploy it on the machines.

You can create a managed package from the console, select the option to allow non-admins to install and update apps (if it is feasible in your environment) and include only CCD which can be deployed using InTune or any deployment tool. Unfortunately, we do not have any other option to install the package using the XML file.
