Relative newbie here.
I've used the LanRev "InstallEase" utility to build a snapshot package
(Acrobat Pro) that seems to work well.
What I'm trying to do now is to simply add a couple of pre-flight
scripts, specifically to remove (uninstall) Acrobat Pro 7 and Acrobat
Reader prior to installing Acrobat 8.
I can open the pkg format up in PackageMaker, but don't quite know where
to go after that... I also have Iceberg on my system, but haven't
experimented with it much.
If it is any help at all, I also created a .dmg from InstallEase, so I
have the full file hierarchy if I need to re-create any of the process.
The end goal is to deploy the package via our ARD task server, so just
trying to find a good seamless way to rip out the old version and
install the new, but don't really know the secret to un-installing the
old version.
thanks for any suggestions, tips, or guidance,
Taylor
