Best practices to install Adobe CC 2015 and remove automatically Adobe CC 2014

[Patrick Bernard]

Hello munki-dev,

 

Everything is in the title !

 

For example :

I user want to install Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 but Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 is already installed. If the user install it, I want to uninstall the prior version.

 

What used strategy so that the installation of a software forces an other one to uninstall?

 

Thanks a lot for your help and support

Assuming you have a working uninstall method for Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, the simplest and most obvious thing to do is move (or add) Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 to managed_uninstalls when you add Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 to managed_installs.

Something to watch for in this situation is that Adobe Fireworks CS6 is still the most recent version of that application so if you have packages which install Fireworks from both the 2014 and 2015 versions of CC, they may get into an alternating uninstall/reinstall cycle. (My packaging group bundles all the web-related apps into one big package, so this was an issue for me until I noticed it.) Otherwise, having the old apps in managed_uninstalls and the new ones in managed_installs worked fine.
