<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>The problem I’ve seen with Adobe’s Acrobat 8.x updaters is that they are not scriptable like those for the other CS3 applications. Those .app updaters can be called with a –silent switch but not Acrobat’s. :-(<BR>
<BR>
These Acrobat updaters also require that you select the Acrobat application to patch and also may ask you to “repair” the installation, which is Adobespeak for “let me put back my Safari and Office plugins and set myself to default again.” These prompts must be manually dismissed.<BR>
<BR>
Also, JAMF may have a difficult time getting CS4 to work because the –silent update for those suites wants to connect to the Internet to download updates as part of the install process. In our environment our Macs must authenticate to our proxy (no free love access) and that just hangs the install.<BR>

Be sure to remove /private/tmp from the exclusion list in Composer before building your package.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I'm also wondering about this, though more in a general sense. The updater is a .app. Can I deploy that as is into /tmp and then run a script to launch it? <BR>
