Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Import

[the....@googlemail.com]

I can't seem to successfully import the Creative Cloud Desktop application installer into Munki, even with the latest Munki version. I was able to import packages for all the other CC applications.

There is an autopkg recipe for it, with seems to work (though I don't know if it's the latest version), but I need to have the Apps panel disabled, so users can't install applications.

I get the following when attempting to import it via munkiimport

WARNING: There are no receipts and no 'installs' items for this installer item. You will need to add at least one item to the 'installs' list.

It will install, but as the warning suggests, the packages appears to have no installable content.

Anyone else managed to work around this issue?

A CCDA package created by Adobe has no payload - it runs everything entirely via scripts. It also leaves no useful receipts, and therefore when parsed by Munki, generally just offers nothing useful. This is an annoying habit of Adobe's that comes up over and over.

I would simply install the package on a client machine, and `makepkginfo -f /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Creative\ Cloud/ACC/Creative\ Cloud.app` and copy that installs array into your pkginfo.

Hi Nick,

thanks for the rapid reply!

I thought of repackaging it that way, but was worried that just packaging the application itself wouldn't work, because items may be installed in other locations, too, and the product wouldn't work without these.

If your method works, though, I will go with that.

Thank you!

Alex

I didn't say to repackage. I said to use the installs array provided by running `makepkginfo -f` on the Creative Cloud Desktop.app, which gets installed by the package.

None of that involves repackaging - just adding more content to the pkginfo.

True, sorry.

I tried it, and it seems to work so far!

Thanks again,

Alex
