CS4 and error

[macboy]

I hate to keep bringing this up. I recently created a package for CS4 Web Premium using directions on Jamf site. It all starts to work and then stops with following error...

Adobe Installation Error from Adobe CS4 Web Premium.dmg: Unable to complete the silent workflow (Exit Code 7).
Closing package...

Any ideas? I sure wish Jamf software would come up with an easy solution for distributing CS4.

Thanks.

More power to JAMF. The problem, however, is Adobe.

JAMF is just providing a simple front-end to Adobe's command-line
installers, which are scriptable, but they have made automated mass
deployment of their volume licensed software a nightmare. Things break too
easily if you don't use their methods for putting the software on your
machines.

But even Adobe's own installers break things. Just today I installed CS4
using Adobe's scripting instructions and Acrobat still would not launch
without asking for administrator credentials every time. I'm resigning
myself to the idea of having to baby-sit just about every installation.
(Hint: look at giving write permission to everyone for all the
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.* files, particularly
com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist)

Keep an eye on Adobe's Installation and Licensing blog
<http://blogs.adobe.com/OOBE/>. Add your voice to the others too when
warranted.
