I used the Adobe CCP to create an uninstaller, and it generaated a binary executable file, as shown in attached pic.

Anyone know the best way to deploy such a file?1a185c06c7204c8891269b16f5cbf14f

CCP Uninstaller

Text file just lists what will be uninstalled.
The xml file is referenced by the script, so you'll have to package the script and xml together, drop them into a temp directory and then trigger the script.

@Ram Here is my most postinstall script from the composer package I created. Just modify the path to the directory.

#!/bin/sh
## postinstall

pathToScript=$0
pathToPackage=$1
targetLocation=$2
targetVolume=$3

cd /Users/Shared/Remove_cc

sudo ./AdobeCCUninstaller




exit 0      ## Success
exit 1      ## Failure

@smcmjeff Two suggestions: /private/tmp would probably be a better place to put temporary stuff like this. It's less visible to the end-user, and has the plus of automatically deleting itself at reboot.

Also preinstall/postinstall scripts run as root by default, you don't need to "sudo."

Im trying this method, but running the script with or without sudo just brings up a Terminal window that says "script was not run with administrator privileges" when I try running it via a Self Service policy.
