How to make the Creative Cloud Uninstaller run silently ?

Hi all,
We created a deployment using Adobe Application Manager (AAMEE) in order to deploy Adobe Creative Cloud silently. That works fine. Now, when we uninstall the software, by running msiexec /x {productcode_of_the_msi_that_was_generated_using_AAMEE}, there's a log entry in the Event Viewer saying Removal success or error status: 0, which is good. However, there's one remaining entry in the "Programs and Features"-list in Windows 7 control panel: "Adobe Creative Cloud"
So I took a look in the registry and I found the uninstall string for that program: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\Utils\Creative Cloud Uninstaller.exe". Problem: this uninstaller won't run silently! Or at least I didn't find any switches / command line parameters to make it run silently. Does anyone know how to make it run silently?
Question for Adobe in case there are no silent options for this uninstaller : can you explain me why you create tools (AAMEE) to generate silent installers but still leave traces on the computer that can't be uninstalled silently???
As an application packager I would also like to address this general message to all the big software making companies out there (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe etc.) : other big companies that buy your software, mostly want to install and uninstall it without user intervention. So please package it so that we don't need to spend extra time and money deciphering your fancy, exotic installers / uninstallers. MSI is quite a good standard you know...
Thanks all of you!

Hi,
If I understood correctly, you have created an installation package including creative cloud desktop app through creative cloud packager not AAMEE.
Adobe creative cloud doesn’t get uninstalled even if all the products and updates are removed from machine. But this will not cause any issues (or extra space) on installation of new package.
Its recommended that if the package is modified (adding more products or updates to existing package) and installed then it should be uninstalled via msi of modified package.
Thanks,
Ashish

CCP 1.7 - How to omit the Creative Cloud Desktop application

Hi there,
After packaging up Dreamweaver v15 CC using CCP 1.7 I cannot find a way to deselect the CC Desktop App (the check-box is ghosted on). I have deselected the Apps Panel but it is not the result I want. In our environment we don't want the Creative Cloud desktop app on the desktop or Start Menu and we certainly don't want it running when the user first logs on. Can anyone advise please?
Thanks

So no one from Adobe can comment on this no?

Yes, you need to install the Creative Cloud app first. It acts as your central hub for installation, sync and licensing.

How to make the class files to run in a particular platform only

Class files which are created from the java files should only run on a particular platform only..say i'm going to create the class files for windows environment then those class files should only run on that environment only. it should not run on unix environment etc..how to do this..

hi,
i cant think of a reason why you would do something like that.. You cant prevent your class files to be read by the JVM of a different OS, but anyway you could do something to stop your code from running in a different OS, for eg.
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
if (prop.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")==true)
//code
else
System.out.println("Sorry i will not run in this OS");

How can I re-install the Creative Cloud softwares on my new computer?

Hello,
I bought the Creative Cloud softwares and installed them on my former computer (which is unfortunately dead...). My license is still activated but I can't find how to download them on my new computer without buying them another time.
Thanks for your help.

The process will be identical as it was on your first computer. Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4396277#4396277?tstart=0 for information on how to install the Creative Cloud applications.

How do you transfer Creative Cloud (Light Room & Photo Shop) from your old Desk top to a new desk top

I have just got a new desk top and I am trying to work out how to get The creative Cloud programs I use (light Room and Photo Shop) off my old Desk top and onto the new desktop. Does any one know how to do this or have already done it, or do you have to cancel the subscription on the old PC and start a new subscription for the new PC.

Hi Jessica,
You do not need to cancel the subscription. You can simply follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps which will help you to install the Adobe CC application on your new PC.
If possible you can also deactivate the license from your previous computer using the article: Activation & Deactivation Help.
Let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,

How do I delete creative cloud so I can open CS6?

I purchased CS6 in April, after canceling my subscription to creative cloud. And now a pop-up comes up when I try to get into my CS6 applications, telling me that I need to renew my creative cloud membership. So I am not able to open the CS6 files anymore. I've been told by somebody at Adobe that I need to delete the creative cloud applications and files from my computer to stop the pop-ups, however, I thought I had done this and now I can't find the creative cloud files anywhere on my computer. Am I missing something? I just spent a ton of money on CS6 and now creative cloud is preventing me from using it.

After calling and recalling 6 different people at Adobe, I finally found a solution. It's too complicated to explain on here but what you should do is call Adobe and tell them that a pop-up keeps coming up saying you need to renew your subscription and that you need to figure out how to delete the creative cloud programs from your computer. They will have you go to utilities on your computer and uninstall creative cloud programs and then go from there. You have had yours a lot longer though so I don't know if you still have the serial number. I still had mine so when i re-downloaded the program i entered the serial number I had and it worked. The issue is that the creative cloud programs that I had once had on my computer weren't properly uninstalled and deleted so it was blocking my ability to use creative suite. I hope this helps a little. Definitely don't give up calling adobe because eventually you'll reach someone who knows how to solve it. This forum just is not supportive enough for this type of issue in my opinion. it's much better to have someone on the phone talking you through it.

Why does the creative cloud stop installing and never finishes?

Ok so I downloaded the free trial and everything was working out until i double clicked the installer and it said it was installing and 2 secs later when the blue bar(loading bar) started it closed the installation and won't work? Does anyone know why or send me a video on how to solve this issue?

How can I reinstall Creative Cloud if I deleted the uninstaller accidentally

So I purchased Creative Cloud on September last year and never got it to actually work do I just sent it to trash along with all the other creative cloud folders I could find on Finder. Now that I NEED to use Adobe's Creative Suite I can't reinstall the App because it says my other version is in use and I can't uninstall this last version because I deleted the Uninstaller. So basically, I don't have the program anymore but somehow can't install it again.
Does anyone know what to do? I would appreciate your help A LOT
