Deploying Adobe CS6 Help

The last thorn in my side for enterprise deployment of Adobe CS6 apps is Adobe Help.
I've tried the commands listed in the AAMEE exceptions folder. I've tried updated commands that I found in some obscure PDF on Adobe's website. I've tried the Adobe Exceptions Deployer. None of them work. They always say "successful" in the log files... but Help is not actually installed!
I've been able to install all the other AAMEE Exceptions, but not Help. Has anyone had any luck?
For the record, I'm using an in-house-built software deployment system that is similar to Apple Remote Desktop (only more robust and more scalable). It deploys standard Apple packages and/or shell scripts. Most silent packages are installed as startup packages using root privileges before the login screen appears with no user logged in.
This is on Macintosh, BTW...

  • Adobe CS6 help!!

    I just bought a new mac book pro, and the new adobe suite (CS6). When I downloaded the software, the entire program looks pixelated and the drawing tool looks pixelated and disjointed as well...I don't know if I have to fiddle with the resolution or what, but I can't for the life of me, figure out what's wrong. Please help!!
    Thanks!

  • Adobe CS6 randomly asks for reactivation (Deployed using AAMEE 3.1)

    Hi All
    We've deployed Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium using AAMEE 3.1 to about 500 workstation across our school campus.  However, we're having a really weird issue where either the licensing screen will randomly pop up asking for reactivation (7 days) or the program requested will just fail to run.  If I try to reactivate using the wizard onscreen it says I don't have a valid internet connection.  This causes a lot of frustration for our users (and me!!)
    The only work around I found to it is to re-serialize using a serialization package made with AAMEE.  I'm considering adding it to a start-up script to re-serialize every PC when they are booted up each day but it it seems ridiculous to need to do this.  I thought AAMEE removed all activation checks and prompts, this doesn't seem to be the case here??
    I've had a look around the forums and while there are similar issues I haven't found a resolution to this, any help/suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Hi,
    you should be able to package product and their updates via AAMEE 3.1. if some package doesnt contain updates, you can also modify the package using AAMEE and add updates to it.
    please share PDApp.log and installer log file generate on client machine. For details of location please refer to page 112-113 in Enterprise deployment guide.
    please send across these logs to email id: [email protected]
    thanks,

  • PSE 10  and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
    I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
    I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
    The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
    Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
    Kind regards
    János

    @hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
    After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
    IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
    NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

  • I want to update to LION,on my Macbook Pro duo core, (october 2006) because Adobe CC needs at least that. I know my computer is old, but works perfect to me and I do not want to stay in Adobe CS6 since I have access to Adobe Cloud CC. Please help.

    I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
    I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
    Thank you ALL for your help.

    you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
    some of the trade off are
    1-2 less of battery life
    slow wake ups from sleep
    slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
    the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
    these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok.

  • Adobe CS6 to Lion color-files corrupted, please help...

    Long time windows user switched to Apple (had an iPhone and iPad for years, just seemed sensible to buy an MBPR when it was time for a new laptop). That was a few days ago. But now, I'm stumped. Experiencing a slight flicker when browsing and noted some color shift in CS6 - researched online - found an article reviewing the use of the Color Synch Utility. Ran it. Seems to have fixed the flicker, but the Photoshop issue remains. This is the erroir code I am getting:
    Checking 92 profiles...
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/RedBlueYelllow.icc
       Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Smokey.icc
       Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/TealMagentaGold.icc
       Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/TotalInkPreview.icc
       Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.
    Verify done - found 4 bad profiles.
    I can find no data online about a fix...just other OP's noting the problem. Is there a solution?

    Found this answer on Adobe's help site. Thought it might help others. Also hoped somebody might be able to explain how to do what is described here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-icc-profiles-mac-os.html
    A system error can occur if the Adobe application accesses a damaged ICC profile. Troubleshoot ICC profiles to determine if they cause the problem:
    Move all profiles from the following folders to the desktop:
    Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles
    System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    Restart the Adobe application, and try to re-create the problem:
    If the problem recurs, move the profiles to their original location.
    If the problem doesn't recur, move one profile at a time to its original location and then repeat step 2 until you identify the profile that causes the problem.

    Just looking at that link and I don't think this is my problem. It says:
    Bootstrapper requires certain installer components to be in place to load correctly. Otherwise, it displays the error "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    Run the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool and remove the product that you are going to install. See Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 (cpsid_82947).
    But mine doesn't say "File not found" anywhere in the error message.
    If it helps on my desktop when I try to install it an icon comes up for a second that looks like the dmg mounted icon with the word "core" underneath it.

  • Help with adobe cs6

    how can i install adobe cs6 from a disc without a serial #. i have a redemption code but when i go online its telling me i dont need a serial #, to just click download. when i do that its downloading creative cloud.

    Bajannbklyn this is correct your serial number is already applied to your account.  You will want to make sure to sign in with the same Adobe ID you utilized to purchase Creative Suite 6.  For more information on how to install please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

    Please help me!! I have Windows 8.1 and Adobe CS6 creative Suite. Adobe Acrobat x just quit, It won't open anything and it wont print to PDF. I need this for work!

    Typically, the repair is done from the Control Panel>Programs & Features. In the future, try that route. Glad you found something that worked. When you do come to the forums for help, you may not get an immediate response, but may have to wait for someone familiar with your issue happens to check the forum, possibly after work. In any case, glad you have a working product again.
