Hello All – I need to install the Creative Cloud Design Std CC suite to our PC’s via SCCM 2007. We will first need to install Acrobat DC from the exceptions folder then all else in the build folder. I cannot use the Adobe Creative Cloud packager and this must be done the harder way. I suppose I have two options:
Adobe says to Acrobat first by creating a batch file as outlined from adobe. Have the below run first:
-----------------------------
PushD "%~dp0"
Set installdir=%~dp0
@echo off
Echo "Installing the Creative Cloud exceptions. Press any key to start the installation."
PAUSE
ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre --installLanguage=en_US
Echo "Finished installing the Creative Cloud exceptions. Press any key to finish."
PAUSE
-----------------------------
However where do I put this batch file in SCCM? After the batch file runs, then what do you need to do in SCCM next?
If you installed the whole suite and Acrobat before this, could you be awesome and paste your script here. We want this to be a silent install.
2. Second option would be to create two separate programs in SCCM to run with a dependency. Create a program for Adobe Acrobat (using the above script?) and then create another program for the full suite to install. Or create a stand MSI like command line install and not use the script? For the full suite install, have set the program to ‘Run Another Program First’ and select Adobe Acrobat. Has anyone done it like this? Is it even possible? However I’m not a fan of the ‘run first’ setup as its been flaky in the past. Apps there are set to run first, can require a reboot to successfully tell SCCM it finished installing so the second program to install the suite just hangs there waiting. We want everything to install back-to-back at the same time.
Has anyone done option 2 and have it work? Or will it not work at all like this? I suppose option 1 is the bulletproof way per adobe. Thoughts?
