As you have a volume license of the product, for deployment related help i am moving this thread to Deployment for Creative Cloud for Team, Enterprise, & CS​, people here are experts on deployment.

Hi,

You can use the Creative Cloud Packager to build an update package. This will give you an *.msi that you can push out with SCCM.

CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe --silent --ADOBEINSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe" --INSTALLLANGUAGE=fr_CA

Please guide if i am wrong.

The problem here is that the web download is for the helper app which downloads the full installer. A better way is to use the Creative Cloud Packager to create a package which is deployment ready.

Also, do you really intend to install in Canadian French language?

Thanks for the update. I will try to get the Creative Cloud Packager. I just tried command prompt to test.

Hi Team,

I selected the below component and built a msi file. when i used msi file to install i got an error saying invalid executable. I tried exe and it worked. Question is if the machine which has only Acrobat reader, can i use the same package? Could you please let me know why i got an error as invalid executable. i can share the required log file if you need or do i need to use the setup.exe?

Photoshop

Illustrator

InDesign

Acrobat

Premiere Pro

After Effects

Media Encoder

Make sure to run the executable as admin with elevated privileges - on windows use CMD and run as administrator. On mac use Sudo in the terminal.

You can use either the msi or the exe. The main difference is that the EXE will install acrobat along with the other applications. If running the msi be sure to run both the build msi and the acrobat msi.

Example

To silently install all contents of the “Build” directory, execute the setup.exe as follows:

setup.exe –silent

Alternatively, to silently install using MSI files, install Acrobat first, then the remaining

packages:

cd Build\Setup\APRO15.0\Adobe Acrobat\

msiexec /i AcroPro.msi /qn

cd ..\..\..

msiexec /I {package name}.msi
