CS 6 package and Exception folder

[music5_5]

Hi,

I have used adobe tool kit to create packages of adobe CS 6 suite and i have used the those .PKG to deploy on various different machines without any problem.

But how do I install those apps in the exception folder? Now when I used new suite package (cs6.pkg), I have only uploaded the package to Casper Admin but not any other folder.

Adobe toolkit only creates a folder with package and folders but not dmg image. Do I create this dmg file using disk utility?

There is a new version of AAMEE, version 3. Adobe recommends using it to package CS 6. I have created a full install of the Master Collection but I have not fully tested the installation just yet.

With this version of AAMEE, do you still leave Adobe Air and Help out of the package or can you bundle them together?

Thanks,

Have a look at Exceptions Deployer Application

If you have a proxy server, find out whoever is responsible for its existence and do to him/her what Dale did to Brennan...

@Don lol

mine fails

[donmontalvo]

@tkimpton If you have a place to put it I can send you one of our EXCEPTIONS packages, open in Pacifist to see how it looks.

Thanks Don

I have an idea. I'm looking at the Adobe pkg created by AAMEE and I cannot see the exceptions folder in there. I can see how ever an exceptions folder outside the pkg.

Do I have to package up and push out the exception separately afterwards and then run the exceptions deployed command to install them?

Damn you Adobe and your poor documentation!

[donmontalvo]

@tkimpton Yep, package the payload and the script then during install the script is run to install the exceptions.

Got FTP?

[tkimpton]

Unfortunately not :(

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I am asking too much for ..

1.a future AAMEE that includes the exceptions in say

/Library/Application/Support/Adobe/Exceptions and installs them via the command line post installation!

1. Precise and clear documentation and even beta documentation. He'll I would love to be a beta tester just for god damn documentation!

JJJJOOOODDDY......

I'd post to the AAMEE forum, the Adobe engineers respond there:
