Hello,
We have found some inconsistencies when dealing with Adobe installs
and Casper v5.13.
In the past we made a single package for CS3 and this worked very
well. However for this AY we took advantage of Casper's ability do
deal with CS3 and consequently made individual packages for each app,
hoping that Casper would allow us to update the suite easily. We had
problems with the updating mechanism at imaging time so we abandoned
updating and planned to install the version that came on the media and
leave it at that. Then we had more problems with the jamfHelper app
and reverted back to our original single CS3 package.
We now have the following problem:
We deleted the Adobe Installer Images from All Items | Adobe
Installer Packages; they were moved to the Deleted Packages folder as
expected. The trash was then emptied from Casper Admin.app and the
Deleted Packages directory was empty. Saved the changes in Casper
Admin.app and then quit the app. On re-opening the app the Adobe
Installer Packages for CS3 had miraculously reappeared under the 'All'
view type but not under 'Adobe Installer Images'. They are visible
both in the JSS and the app. Obviously the software packages
themselves have not risen from the dead!
At least once I have made changes using Casper Admin.app only to find
they have not 'stuck' between sessions (and yes, I have saved!). This
has caused some problems with our latest imaging round.
Are you aware of other users having similar problems?
Regards,
James
PS I was very tempted to change the subject line to 'Zombie CS3
installs' but...
