Deployment Exception programs.

Report · Dec 10, 2012

I'm unable to install the exception programs into my computer, does anyone know how to install them.

I run the following on a command prompt but the program do not install.

After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.

If you are also installing Acrobat X, ensure that Acrobat X is installed before you deploy the main .msi package.

You can optionally use Adobe Customization Wizard X to install Acrobat X.

IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:

There are 2 ways to deploy exceptions -

1. the most recommended way is to use the Exceptiondeployer application. Exception deployer is present in the exceptions folder of AAMEE created package. Just run this application using the command line and all your exceptions will be installed. The documentation of this utility is present inside the AAMEE documentation present at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html. Please go through this once. If you are using this for Acrobat installation, you first need to run the exception deployer in pre mode, then install the main MSI, and then run the exception deployer in post mode for remaining exceptions. The details around this are explained in the documentation.

2. Another way is to install the excpetions manually using the command lines specified in ExceptionsInfo.txt.This file is also present in the Exceptions folder of an AAMEE created package. Here you need to run the commands given in ExceptionInfo.txt one by one to install the exceptions. In this case also, for acrobat deployment , you first need to install the acrobat, then run the main MSI and then install other exceptions.

Make sure you have administrative privileges while invoking the command line. Feel free to revert back in case you see any issues.
