Adobe CS 5 Experiences

[mobcdi]

I would be interested in hearing from users who have thinapp'd Adobe CS5 applications including Flash, Dreamweaver, illustrator and photoshop and their experience in both creating the packages and also the day to day experience of using thinapp'd CS products

We have successfully thinapped InDesign CS5 and performance is acceptable.  User has not reported any issues.

I thinapp's Adobe CS3 for use on View VMs.

It was sooo slow to launch even with the .dat files locally, that I binned it in the end.

We had CS3 ThinApped and it worked "okayish". Got the occasional "license problem" which forced users to restart the app.

We're now trying to ThinApp CS5 (5.5) and are having major problems with InDesign specifically (fails to launch and gives an error code instead).

Acrobat X and Photoshop and Illustrator SEEM to work, but it's not tested enough yet... still have Dreamweaver on the list to try aswell.

So not very happy about this - we've already deployed it "manually" to 3 users by now - because they HAD to have it NOW.

I have an older thread regarding this at: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1749805#1749805

Hi,

I am having trouble with Adobe InDesign CS 3.0.

When I launch the InDesign(ThinApped) for the first time it disappears and fails to launch.

Please see my attached pacakage.ini file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Anand

InDesign CS5 was on my to-do list, so I packaged it up this past Friday.

I used the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition to build a fully updated InDesign CS5 package.  There a few exception applications the manager separates.  Install those after CS5.  The CS5 installation is performed from the command line using msiexec.

I built the package and could launch everything but InDesign.  All the other entry points would launch.  I turned off compression in Package.ini and rebuilt.  InDesign launched.

Captured and built with ThinApp 4.7 on Windows XP Pro SP3.

I am trying to use AAMEE to create custom .msi installs from the suite as well

but am stumped by the msiexec command to run the installer on my Thinapp setup capture machine.

Did you run from command line or use SCCM or other deployment tool after prescan?

How did you handle the AAMEE exceptions folder? I was thinking AppLinking them to the main thinapp?
