Installing More Adobe CS3 Items

[#1]

We have a CS3 Master Suite site license and normally only install parts of
that license (like Design Premium items). There are instances when I need
to go back and either add the rest of the Master Suite, or install just one
or two apps (like Dreamweaver in this case). If I first install Design
Premium and then go back and try to lay the entire Master Suite over it, I
get the lovely Exit Code 7 error, which we all know points to a piece of the
Adobe package remaining.

So, I followed the instructions at the following Adobe KB article to remove
all of CS3 and then tried re-installing Master Suite. Same error message:

Any one have any idea why I would still be getting Exit Code 7 if all of the
CS3 suite was removed?

Subject: [Casper] Installing More Adobe CS3 Items

Hi Steve!

Look for Adobe remnants in the /Library folder.

When I saw this message I believe I removed: /Library/Application Support/Adobe (the whole folder) /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*

You might also consider: /Library/Application Support/Macromedia

That may be overkill, however.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I made sure all of that was gone, including the Macromedia folder. I
even did a restart of the machine to rule that out. Still the same, Exit
Code 7.

I found a post over on Adobe's site:

This refers to Windows, but I'm sure the flag would work for Macintosh as
well. However, I don't think I can 'trip' that flag since Casper is
controlling the install.

I checked the CS4 enterprise manual deployment user guide
<http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openoptions/pdfs/manualenterprisedeployment
_cs4_help.pdf > and it only shows that switch for Windows, not Mac. You'd
probably be banging your head against the wall trying to get that switch to
work. I bet you're probably banging your head against the wall anyway. :-Z
