Re: Creating packages that keeps existing folder structure



I to have tried the silent install. I found that I actually like making the packages and pushing them out via ARD. One of the things that I didn't like about the so-called silent install is that it actaully isn't silent at all. Silent to me is something that the user just sees on their computer. When you do the silent install the user will actually see items in their Dock as the installer is doing the installs. What I mean is that when you are on a computer and doing an install you see the icons that represent the particular item being installed.

I guess that I will have to take a look at PackageMaker or Iceberg,
which I have used before. When it's Office then it's possible to just
package the whole thing and distribute it again, but more complex
application suites like Adobe CS2 scatter files all over the
harddrive and it also takes up to many GB's to distribute the whole
suite everytime there's an update.

CS 2 has a command line install routine that is the bomb. I used it
and it
took less than 20 minutes to fully install CS2 on three machines
combined.
It's available from the downloads page for CS, and they have a windows
version too.

Is this the "Silent Install Script" on the Adobe downloads page your
are talking about?

Yup

is there an advantage of installing using the "silent install script" rather than packaging up and pushing via ard? if your company site licenses all adobe products, you can include the serial text file in the push (or sed/awk entries as required).


thanks,
don
