@easyedc McAfee probably hired some ex Adobe engineers.

"Based on [based on MAC Engineer's] suggestion if you create less than 500 UID it will not be hidden and that's why the UID can't be less than 500."

@bradtchapman

You can't call McAfee and Adobe "vendors", it's not remotely fair to companies that take the products and support seriously.

@easyedc Curious if there was a follow up exchange with the Peanut Gallery.

@gachowski they won't care as long as they're making money. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@mm2270 The group responsible for the horrible install.sh should have been fired a long time ago. Clearly there's some dead wood over there. The components released as flat/signed PKGs are not bad at all. Guessing they farmed out those items.

@donmontalvo

I think the install.sh is the same as how the agent is installed on linux I think that is why it didn't change when the new .pkg were rolled out. Also I think the new .pkgs were before the dump to the private company in China so I expect that the pkgs were the last thing finished before all the "mac guys" left. I don't see it getting any better as they have entered two new businesses.
