Software Deployment

I made it silent with this commandline:

\\path\to\file\set-up.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="\\path\to\file\install.xml" --overrideFile="\\path\to\file\application.xml.override" --action=install

install.xml:

you need to replace {XXX} with the ID beetween 

<mediaSignature> </mediaSignature>

tags from the Setup.xml found in the payload folder from the installer

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Deployment>
    <Properties>
        <Property name="EULA_LANGUAGE">en_US</Property>
        <Property name="eula_EPIC_EULA_ACCEPTED">1</Property>
        <Property name="eula_EPIC_EULA_SELECTED">0</Property>
        <Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Programme\Adobe</Property>
        <Property name="defaultLanguage">de_DE</Property>
        <Property name="installLanguage">de_DE</Property>
        <Property name="driverAdobeCode">{XXX}</Property>
    </Properties>
    <Payloads>
        <Payload adobeCode="{XXX}">
            <Action>install</Action>
        </Payload>
    </Payloads>
</Deployment>

application.xml.override:

you need to replace {XXX} with the ID beetween 

<mediaSignature> </mediaSignature>

tags from the Setup.xml in the payload folder from the installer

you need to replace YYY with your serial (without the minus, only numbers)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
   <Payload adobeCode="{XXX}">
      <Data key="Serial" protected="0">YYY</Data>
      <Data key="Registration">Suppress</Data>
      <Data key="EULADelay">-1</Data>
      <Data key="Updates">Suppress</Data>
   </Payload>
</Configuration>

I finally found out how to get Creative Cloud Packager and package Captivate 7...

There is a lot of outdated info online about Creative Cloud Packager... so it can be hard to find!

For instance... some Adobe sites will tell you to download it from the Adobe Licensing Website (LWS)... that is no longer true.

1) Download Creative Cloud Packager

Login to:

https://creative.adobe.com

Find the section titled "IT Deployment" on the right side of the page

If you do not see the section... then the ID you signed in with does not have access to download.

Click on the link for "CCP (Windows)" to download "CCPLauncher.exe"

2) Launch the install "CCPLauncher.exe".  You MAY need to adjust firewall/proxy settings for this to work.  For other Creative Cloud stuff, I had to bypass our firewall completely to get it working.

3) Choose the 2nd login option "I am an Enterprise, Government or Education Customer" and use the same credentials you used at creative.adobe.com

4) You should see a button for "Create Package", click that

5) When prompted, enter your enterprise license key for Captivate 7

6) Enter the package details

I entered:

Package name:  Captivate7_64bit

Save to:  C:\Captivate7_64

License type:  Package with License

32-bit/64-bit:  64-bit Package

Package configurations:  Default

7) Applications & Updates

Select your language and the options appear.  I chose to only do Captivate 7 & Updates

Click Build and the download should start

here's where I got some of the useful info:

http://captivate.adobe.com/captivate/topics/creating_deployment_packages_for_adobe_captivate_7_and_adobe_presenter_9

ignore the part where it says to go to LWS (Adobe Licensing Website) downloads for CCP

Here is your answer. I have the same issue.

To create deployment Package for Captivate 7, we will have to use Creative Cloud Packager 1.1

Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition 3.1 will not detect the installer for Captivate 7.

It seems we are not alone in our quest. However, the question is, "Is your organization a Creative Cloud customer?" I was told Captivate 7 is not a Creative Cloud product, but at the same time can only be packaged with the Creative Cloud "free tool" Creative Cloud Packager. I obtained access to the installer for that tool, but since I am not a Creative Cloud customer, it will not accept my Adobe ID and therefore will not install. I am waiting to hear back from Adobe on this one.

It is indeed that CCP is the right tool to create the MSI for Captivate 7. Please be wary also to not forget the MS Visual Redistributables that you need to deploy separately and some components inside the Exceptions folder.

All of those extra stuff can be found if you install the original media of Captivate 7. Check the ARP for more details sorted by date.
