Hi Folks,

I have searched high and low and even called Adobe and I have no clear answer on this.

Is anyone out there installing Adobe Extensions into Adobe Extension manager? How are you installing the extension or packaging it up? I have had a heck of time with this one. There are flash extensions that allow you to use the workflow of Flash but your output is in HTML5. I am not a flash person so I can't say specifically how it works.

My goal is to find a way to package the extensions and install them for all users.

Thoughts?

Thank you in advance.

Mick

I did one before and I captured using Composer, packaged and made available in self service for user go install.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know, have you tried to package the new Adobe Flash Toolkit? I cannot get this thing to work no matter how I have tried it.

In case people are looking to install Extensions into Adobe Extension Manager. here's what i cooked up!

create a package with the extension file (*.zxp) to /usr/local/ for example.

then use a script like this to:
1. remove old plugin
2. install new
3. remove .zxp file form system

#!/bin/bash

###########################################################
## Script for installation of Adobe CS6 en CC Extension  ##
##                  PNG Express                          ##
##          Licensed by: IceMobile Agency BV             ##
##           Created by: Ben de Laat                     ##
###########################################################

## Set Variables
WorkDir="/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS6/Adobe Extension Manager CS6.app/Contents/MacOS"
Packagedir="/usr/local"
Package="PNGExpress.zxp"
PackageName="PNGExpress"

## Go to working directory
cd "$WorkDir"

## Remove PNGexpress
 ./Adobe Extension Manager CS6 -suppress -remove product="Photoshop CS6" extension="$PackageName"

## Install new version
./Adobe Extension Manager CS6 -suppress -install zxp="$Packagedir"'/'"$Package"

## Start Adobe Extension Manager for Verification
##./Adobe Extension Manager CS6

## remove the file from /usr/local/
cd "$Packagedir"
rm "$Package"
exit 0

there is no check to see if the extension exists or not, A.E.M. exits and the script just continuous.

make a policy that deploys the package and runs the script after.

extension installed without user interaction.

I hope This is helpful for some!
