My goal here is to create an installer package of Dreamweaver that I can install via ARD. Dreamweaver is provided by Adobe in the VISE package format. I planned on packaging up the Dreamweaver VISE package, and an AppleScript that will install the package, all in one installer package and deploy it that way. If anyone could provide any hints or suggestions on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Additionally to the snapshot suggestion which is surely the best answer, there might be a stupid way to do it without a snapshot (but it looks like a snapshot). 3. Add a pseudo SystemVersion.plist file inside CoreServices. Maybe it would be required to add some things in Library --+-- Frameworks if there are some QuickTime requirement for instance. 5. Create a package and points the ROOT folder to the Mounted Disk Image. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Alternatively you could distribute VISE installer inside the package and kick it off at the end of your install. Using a shell script that will be called at the end of your install, you could copy/extract the VISE Installer package into /temp or ~/Library/Caches and using osascript command line tool tell it to "open itself" Reverse-engineering VISE package might cause licensing issues with Adobe.
