Install Acrobat 9 from Design Premium

I need to get Acrobat 9 installed on some machines, but only have Design
Premium. I know that you can tell Casper what to install from the suite and
I've done that. However, when trying to run Acrobat 9 without any other
portion of the suite installed, I get a dialog indicating that Suite
Activation needs to take place.

Has anyone else gotten around this? And if so, how?

try deploying it with Illustrator and Acrobat.
Open Illustrator after the install to Activate the suite and then toss the Illustrator application?

Lance gave me an even better, more obvious solution: package it with
Composer. So that's what I did. I installed with Photoshop, opened up
Photoshop to serialize, opened Acrobat to make sure it ran, then let
Composer snapshot it. Removed Photoshop and anything else I didn't need in
Composer.

Just tested it and it worked like a charm.

I hate it when the obvious solution is staring you in the face like that! I'm still on vacation lag after being gone for 2 weeks, so that's my
excuse. :-)
