Hi Folks,



We try to deploy the Adobe Creative Cloud Package, created with Adobe CCP Creative Cloud Packager. When the package is created we upload it to the JSS with Casper Admin. Then we use a policy to install the package on the clïents.



We never managed to install the package. Neither through direct install nor cache package and then install package. Also we tried to add the package to a DeployStudio workflow with the same error:



Installation failed. The installer reported: installer: Package name is adobecc_nl_16062015
installer: Installing at base path /
installer: The install failed (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)



If we login as localadmin on a 10.10 machine and run the package locally everything works fine and the whole suite is installed correctly. We have tried every possible way we could think of to make this work. Hope the community has some experience and tips for helping us on this matter.

@krusea That's good to know you're also having issues with Acrobat. I'll start building an Acrobat-less package now to test (and maybe if I'm lucky it will be done by the end of the day!). I'm surprised you're having issues with Self Service, though; I have had no troubles with it.


I thought I read somewhere that Reader had to be installed first before other packages... maybe that's what you guys are running into?



here's an older link that doesn't exactly say that but may help
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/deploying-acrobat.html


I have no problems installing Adobe Acrobat DC via Self-Service.




@CasperSally I believe that is the case on Windows, but I've never had to deploy Acrobat first on Mac


On a second computer I was able to install just Acrobat via Self Service and then all of the other Creative Cloud apps via Self Service without any problems. On a third computer I was able to install all of the Creative Cloud apps including Acrobat without a problem. So maybe there was something weird on the first computer.


UPDATE: I created a package with all CC apps except Acrobat and was able to deploy it successfully to a non-logged in computer (copied package via scp, then ssh'ed to computer and ran package via installer command). It's definitely something with the Acrobat package. More testing next week, I guess!


I was having the same issue. I was able to install the full suite from Self Service, but the same package failed when installing during imaging.



After reading all of the above comments, I recreated my Adobe CC 2015 package without Acrobat using CCP, and have successfully installed the full suite at imaging time. I then created a separate installer for Acrobat Pro DC and have successfully deployed both the Acrobat and CC 2015 package at imaging. Acrobat priority 10, CC 2015 priority 15.


I have the same issues. The complete package works when installed through the Self Service. During imaging it fails.
I just made a new package without Acrobat DC and then it installs fine during imaging. So now I do the same as @stevevalle .
And to give some more information; I just use the pkg and not the wrapped dmg.


@stevevalle Thanks for that information! I'm building an Acrobat-only package now to see if I can pair it with the everything-but-Acrobat package I made previously for testing.



@mpeski Thanks for confirming this works for you too. I don't understand what you mean by



I just use the pkg and not the wrapped dmg.


Can you explain?


@etippett : I used the pkg that was made by using CCP. I know a lot of people use to wrap the pkg in a dmg and use the InstallPKGfromDMG script to install Adobe. I didn't need to use this, it just works fine by using the pkg.


@mpeski What kind of distribution point/share are you using? The DMG method is only needed for SMB shares, so I assume that's what you're using. It would be awesome if we no longer have to go through those extra steps!


@stevevalle No such love for me. I'm not using Casper Imaging (DeployStudio actually, which is calling the Casper binary with a custom trigger for my first boot policies), but Acrobat will not install when no one is logged in. The rest of the suite installs just fine.



I found some more log files (/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installs/ there's one file for each app) and cross-referenced these against installer.log. From these it's clear that the issue is that a component of Acrobat is attempting to determine the current user and is failing.

The component appears to be some sort of updater schedule mechanism. Updates are disabled in my CCP package (users are non-admins) so I'm not sure why this is even installing. I'm going to look for ways to disable it, or even modify the post flight script that is causing the problem.



Eric


@etippett : We use SMB shares. Clients use HTTPS to download the packages.


@mpeski Ah, that's the difference. Unfortunately some of our distribution points are hosted on SANs that we have no way to enable HTTP(S) downloads...


@mpeski We switched over from SMB shares to AFP shares because of Adobe. I didn't want to keep creating the installers using CCP and then wrap them into a dmg every time. Too much time wasted!



@etippett If you are using an SMB share, wrap it in a dmg and use the shell script to install it. I used this method many times and works well.


@stevevalle : Yep, that's what we're doing. AFP isn't an option for us, either. We have an all-Windows infrastructure and let our license for ExtremeZ-IP lapse. I agree it's a waste of time, but a few hours of my time isn't worth the $5,000 or so license cost on ExtremeZ-IP ;)


@stevevalle Could you possibly check your install.log and see what it says about determining the current user? I'm still curious how it's working for you with no one logged in but is failing for me.



Thanks!


@etippett Here is a snippet of the install.log. Seems like root level access is being used.

@stevevalle Thanks for posting. I would guess that yes, root is being used to run the install by Casper Imaging, just as it is when my Casper policy runs. What doesn't make sense is why for you the Adobe package seems to be able to determine that root is the current user and continue with the install, whereas in my situation it cannot and fails. Would you mind searching your install.log for anything similar to "./postinstall: Info: Installing HelperTool plists..." and including the next 20 or so lines after that if you find it? That seems to be the specific point at which my install is failing and lines are logged mentioning that it is trying and unable to determine the current user. I'd be curious to see what your logs say at this point.



FWIW I was supposed to have a call with Adobe at 2:00 on this today. They finally called closer to 2:45. Here's how it went:
Adobe: Can you please describe the issue?
Me: [patiently explains, trying to hide annoyance at having to do so since I've been sending emails for four days with detailed descriptions, error codes, and log files]
Adobe: Have you seen any error codes?
Me: Yes, those are in the ticket
Adobe: And you sent log files too?
Me: Yes
Adobe: OK, I'll have to read those and get back to you
Me: @#$&#$^&#$@#$!@&$@#%*@

FWIW, I see that CCP has been updated in the last 24-36 hrs to v1.9.1, build 6.



Clicking on 'What's new?' takes me to the documentation page but I don't think it's been updated for this latest version.


@mdonovan



CCP 1.9.1 was suppose to fix an issue with serialized versions of InDesign 2015 and inCopy 2015. The issue was that both of those applications would launch with an error saying "This application is missing the creative cloud app, please download it from Adobe.com".



Sadly, CCP 1.9.1 didn't even fix that issue.



https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/indesign-incopy-issue-cc-required-but-damaged.html


@stevevalle Thanks for providing that snippet but unfortunately it's not quite what I was looking for. Were you not able to find the string "./postinstall: Info: Installing HelperTool plists..."? That's the portion I'm interested in.



@mdonovan I was prompted to update CCP as well. Now my version shows 9.0.0.106.



@Abdiaziz That stinks it didn't help you with that issue; it did alleviate it for me.



Eric


@etippett



This is the error I receive using a serialized package of InDesign 2015.




@Abdiaziz Yeah, that's the same one I was getting. Are you including the Creative Cloud Desktop app in your package? I realized I misspoke earlier. I can't say for sure whether CCP 9.0.0.106 fixed it or not, as at the same time we decided to start including CCD in the package, whereas we hadn't been previously. Perhaps since CCD is in the package now that prevents the error.
