I hate answering questions with questions - but this is very close to  
the topic at hand so I thought I would keep it in the same thread.

Has anyone here on the Casper list actually created a successful Adobe  
Creative Suite 4 (any version) package with Composer?  I've been  
googling the last couple of days, and checking a few of my other  
mailing lists, and it doesn't sound like there has been success yet.   
I know it was mentioned in January that someone used the Adobe  
Deployment Toolkit, but I find that piece of software unacceptable  
(and I've let Adobe know!).

Does anyone have a workflow they can share for installing Adobe CS4  
with success using Casper/Composer that doesn't involve the deployment  
toolkit?

Thanks,
