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

[rickp_at_CSU]

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?

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,

Your console is different than mine as Mine is for Enterprise and seems like yours is for Team, hence the difference.

Yes, I'm in the Teams area.

There must be some method for doing this in a mixed environment without needing two computers.

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.

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.

Is this functionality available yet? I need to create a Windows install package from my Mac machine.

Hi,

If you have access to the enterprise Admin Console you can create either Mac or Windows packages via the Packages tab.
