I would suggest doing a full install or the Adobe suite, make sure everything is serialized and functioning and then use the prebuilts in Composer to generate your packages. 


You may also want to look into the fix for the Acrobat self-repair function if your users will not be admins (I most strenuously suggest that they not be admins, I consider this a best practice).  I don't recall what the fix was off hand, but there is one out there.

I am building the package now and not doing the disk images.  So, when I make the package can I go back and dump everything that is put in /Library into like an adobe required then put out each CS 2 app as a separate install?  I can't recall how I did that before, but the JAMF guys showed me how to do that with iLife last year. 


I can just drag them out in editable mode in Composer and create separate DMG files for them, correct? 


thanks,

My CS2 package was a snapshot of the whole suite after running and and making sure all apps were serialized.  The version of Acrobat that comes with CS2 won't run properly on its own.  You have to launch another app in the suite (such as Photoshop) in order for Acrobat to "know" that its been serialized.

So just combine the disk images then? 


Could I use composer and do snap shots?

So, I have CS 2 to install now on some older Macs... 


It comes on like 3 CDs, or at least my version does.  Can I make 3 separate disk images of them and create them into one adobe installer in Casper Admin, or should I combine them into 1 disk image and then use the adobe installer in Casper Admin? 


Thoughts? 


Thanks,
