Can you create a MAC deployment package on a Windows PC?

I am a new CC administrator. Last week I looked at all of the on-line help pages for creating and deploying packages. Included on the Create Packages menu screen shot shown was a Platform option, Mac or Windows.  Today I start to build my packages and the menus are different from shown and it appears I can only build the installation package that matches my OS.

Has something changed since the on-line help pages were created?  Can I create and download Mac versions on my Windows PC?

    Thank you! Luckily, I will not need the Mac install package for a number of weeks.

    Will I get a notification via this forum post if this option becomes available?

    Hi Rick,

    You will see the change and probably get a notification via your Admin console.

    Hi rickp_at_csu ,

    Yes you can but not using the Creative Cloud Packager on the OS itself, you can do it via the Admin Console.

    Under Deployment - Creative Cloud tab

    Click on Create Package.

    It must be getting late in the day.  I am on the Admin Console page, looking under Admin Tools, Deployment and I see four steps, with number 2, Packages, offering the CCP Installer in Mac or Win. 

    I'm guessing this isn't the right place as it doesn't look like your screenshot, but I can't find anything more promising.

    Hi Rick,

    We are already working on it and the option to create a package online might be available to Both Enterprise and Team organization, however as if now there is no option apart from using two different machines.
