Specifying Packages Filling Out the Specification Worksheet do not want to install the applications in the default location, you can specify your own path. You must specify an absolute path (including drive). Alternately, you can select System Drive in the toolkit GUI and specify a path relative to the system root folder. NOTE: The installation location cannot be a network location, a mounted disk image, or the root directory of any volume. NOTE: (Windows Only) The maximum path length is 256 characters. The names of the files being installed are added to the path you specify. If you choose a path that is too long, some products may not install properly. PACKAGE LOCATION (OUTPUT LOCATION) Decide where you will save all the packages you create on your admin system. You may want to create a new folder just for your package collection. Enter the path of this folder in this field. The toolkit will prompt you for this location at the end of package creation. APPLICATION OPTIONS There are some normal application behaviors that make sense in a single-user situation but not in an enterprise situation. The toolkit provides options for you to suppress these behaviors in all the CS4 applications installed by a package. These options are set per package; different packages can have different combinations of settings for these options. After reading the descriptions of these options below, highlight your choices on the worksheet.  EULA acceptance - Upon its first invocation after installation, a CS4 application displays a dialog requesting the user to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). In a multi-seat situation, the company accepts this agreement for all end users when it purchases the product and the end users have no need to see it. If you wish to suppress the EULA screen in the applications, you can choose the "Suppress EULA" option in the toolkit GUI.  Product registration - Upon its first invocation, a CS4 application displays a dialog asking the user if he wants to register the product. If a user declines, the application prompts him again about a week later. It continues to do this until the user either registers the product or tells the application never to ask again. If you wish to prevent your users from individually registering their products, you can choose the "Suppress registration" option in the toolkit GUI.  Automatic update checking - Each time a CS4 application is invoked, it checks to see if any application updates are available from Adobe. The user is not aware of this check unless a product update is found, at which time the application displays a dialog asking the user if he wishes to update the application. If you wish to prevent the applications from doing automatic update checking, you can choose the "Suppress updates" option in the toolkit GUI. Choosing this option also removes the Update option from the Help menu in the applications; users will not longer be able to actively look for updates on their own. INSTALL OPTIONS The toolkit provides several options that control the behavior of the Adobe install program when it is invoked by the Uber program. These options are set per package; different packages can have different combinations of settings for these options. After reading the descriptions of these options, highlight your choices on the worksheet.  You can direct the installer to ignore conflicting processes. The Adobe CS4 install program does not always function properly when it encounters certain user processes running during installation; if such conflicting processes are running, the install may Document Version 1.0 Sep 2009 25
