CS5 + NEW AdobeEnterpriseDeployment + InstaDMG

[vogtstev]

Greetings!

I downloaded the Adobe CS5 Enterprise Deployment Tool yesterday which totes that it will make the crazy Adobe installers into pkg’s! YES!
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html

So, I gave it a shot. The repackaging was a breeze and I was actually kind of impressed with Adobe. (Yes I said that! )
I can even use the package and manually install them on machines. So far so good.

Alas, the problem came when I dropped them in InstaDMG. They are failing on what looks like a preflight script. I wanted to post this here to see if anyone had similar issues or found a workaround. In my next two posts I will post some logs so each post is easier to read.

Let me know if you have any ideas. If this works, it will be what we’ve been waiting for from Adobe!

Thanks!

[vogtstev]

From preinstall script I wonder if this could be the problem:

–installDirPath=”$2″

Not sure what it should be though. I’m assuming $3 won’t work in this case.

[dead2sin]

I had the same problem. If we can get it working, I’d be thrilled, but I’m not holding my breath 🙂

Hey Steve,
Thanks for going and testing what we’ll all be hoping to do real soon! What version of instaDMG are you using and what OS are you building(just so we don’t assume, since 10.5 should be completely chrooted and therefore not be experiencing this issue)? By version, please be specific as the which revision is listed in the instadmg.bash script, line 12, or line 2 of either the debug or package logs.
it would be too easy if changing it to $3 is all you needed, as in the ‘target’ volume, so let us know if you give it a shot

Allister

[dead2sin]

I changed the $2 to $3 to see if it likes that better, I’ll report back here the results as well 🙂 If that doesn’t work, I might try a few other things.

I am not familiar with the specifics of how InstaDMG installs to the disk image, so I was wondering what the full path would be to the disk image it is working on.

Thanks,

Nate

[vogtstev]

The changing to $3 didn’t work. I’m still thinking that maybe something in that line off the preinstall script can help. Otherwise, I don’t see where it could be unless it’s in the binary we can’t see.

I am using 10.6.3 of my build machine.
My out images and I am installing 10.6, then running the 10.6.3 Combo
I am running 1.6b2 of InstaDMG
.4b of InstaUp2Date

[vogtstev]

I just added some echo statements to the preinstall script. Maybe it will help us, but unless I’m not noticing something look ok?

./preinstall: –optXMLPath=/InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages/photoshopcs5_Install.pkg/Contents/Resources/optionXML.xml
./preinstall: –setupBasePath=/InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages/photoshopcs5_Install.pkg/Contents/Resources/
./preinstall: –installDirPath=/tmp/InstaDMG_temp_folder.8wCrG9/mount_point.J5YYZn

[Allister Banks]

Hey Steve,

According to a Mr. Lee on the Mac Enterprise Deployment list, and I quote:

You’d want

–installDirPath=”${3}/${2}”

endquote
Could you please give that a spin? And could you actually tell us the revision, not the version numbers you’re using? eg. 261 for instadmg.bash? Thanks,

Allister

[dead2sin]

Running this now.

[dead2sin]

Same error for me with –installDirPath=”${3}/${2}” in the preflight. 🙁

[vogtstev]

Same error here. Here is the latest echo statements:

./preinstall: –optXMLPath=/InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages/photoshopcs5_Install.pkg/Contents/Resources/optionXML.xml
./preinstall: –setupBasePath=/InstaDMG/InstallerFiles/InstaUp2DatePackages/photoshopcs5_Install.pkg/Contents/Resources/
./preinstall: –installDirPath=/tmp/InstaDMG_temp_folder.EFlOzu/mount_point.sDv44w
./preinstall: –newinstallDirPath=/private/tmp/InstaDMG_temp_folder.EFlOzu/mount_point.sDv44w//tmp/InstaDMG_temp_folder.EFlOzu/mount_point.sDv44w

I looks like the $3 and $2 are almost duplicates just slightly different.

[Allister Banks]

Hey Steve and dead2sin(tag team testing effort- love it!),

Really need to know the revision you’re using, especially if it’s being handed this package with instaUp2Date. I think you might be experiencing the path doubling issue that I have a fix for, described here:
[url] groups.google.com/group/instadmg-dev/browse_thread/thread/13625ead97619c1f [/url]

If you don’t want to monkey around with the code, try throwing the pkg into a dmg, here’s a one liner culled from the wisdom of Mr. Neagle:

/usr/bin/hdiutil create -srcfolder /path/to/pkg /path/to/pkg.dmg

If that works then we’re golden. Thanks,

Allister
