CS5 and AAMEE

Not applicable

I have been trying to package CS5 Web Design premium with AAMEE without any luck. I actually think I am screwing up the first step. In the process of making the pkg it appears that I can't just point AAMEE to the DVD media, that it wants a local copy of the DVD. So I created a "CS5WebPreInstall" folder on the desktop, I then copied the DVD contents to the folder. THEN I pointed AAMEE to THAT folder to pull the install from.. I get no visible errors when the pkg file is made. The pkg file that is made cannot be installed manually, it fails with a generic "Contact the manufacturer" message. I have read through the documentation, but I just am not getting it.

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of things --- Douglas Adams

AAMEE's working fine here. Design Standard is a single disk image and
pointing AAMEE to the install directory on the mounted disk is all that I
do.

Does Web Design Premium come with multiple disks? I believe you still have
to merge the contents by hand prior to packaging. A future version of
AAMEE will probably handle doing that for you. If you're merging items
then maybe something isn't getting into the right spot. The admin guide
should have instructions for doing this.

Can you download the DMG from Adobe using their LWS website?

Is this volume license media or a retail install? I echo the suggestion to download the volume license .dmg from licensing.adobe.com...
