Been reading through a lot of methods for uninstalling Adobe CS6 and I found a neat tool I'd like to use, it works great running locally on clients. Now I'm building a policy that includes a pkg (which dumps the unix executable and xml file into the tmp folder) and I need to call the executable. Thinking its best to build a little script add that calls the executable over adding to the Run command of the policy, but need some scripting guidance!

Call it with a postinstall script right in the package. Postinstall scripts run as root by default. maybe if you wanna get cute include an “echo” line in your script that gives you a log that your script actually ran.

Ahhh, never used a postinstall in a pkg, thanks for the tip @blackholemac . Reading up now on how to get that in 



#!/usr/bin/perl

## postinstall



$pathToScript=$0;

$pathToPackage=$ARGV[0];

$targetLocation=$ARGV[1];

$targetVolume=$ARGV[2];













exit 0;     ## Success

exit 1;     ## Failure

Was able to get this functioning using this but the tool doesn't remove CS6.



#!/bin/bash



if [[ ! -e "/Library/Logs/Adobe" ]]; then

    echo "/Library/Logs/Adobe directory does not exist, creating..."

    mkdir -p "/Library/Logs/Adobe"

fi



/private/tmp/AdobeUninstall/AdobeCCUninstaller | /usr/bin/tee "/Library/Logs/Adobe/AdobeUninstallUnauthorizedVersions_$(/bin/date +%F-%H%M%S).log"
