Installing ZXP Extensions on CC Enterprise

Question

I am looking for ideas/input on a potential work-around to install ZXP extensions on Photoshop CC Enterprise that does not require a lot of confusing, tedious manual steps (from the end user's perspective).

According to the Enterprise documentation - Including extensions in your package - encrypted packages, i.e., ZXP extensions from Adobe Exchange are not installed via the package method and based on my own experience launching a product to Exchange and reports from Enterprise users, you cannot install from Exchange nor using any of the popular Extension Manager installers.

I have verified that it is possible to un-archive the ZXP and manually place the folder structure in /Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions but my concern is that this might be problematic for end users. I don't think it is really all that technical, obviously, but many users have a psychological aversion to messing with what they perceive as the core system.

It is probably a long shot but I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this problem and what solutions you've employed to work around it.

Thanks in advance.

So you want personally to uncovert .ZXP and provide the content (so all folders with files in bulk) to users?

You can attach .jsx script (user will run by Photoshop) that will copy all of that to Adobe/CEP/Extension folder.
