]]> Comment on Flash Dance by John C. Welch http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/08/24/flash-dance/#comment-13516 Fri, 17 May 2013 01:33:54 +0000 http://managingosx.wordpress.com/?p=735#comment-13516 So there are a few things in your comment. Reader and Acrobat are actually two of the easier things to push install. They come as standard packages, and with XI, Adobe released some things that make life easier for Mac Admins for once.

The manual for it is here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/MacWiz/CustomizationWizardforMac.pdf

the wizard is available at:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/

and the IT documentation for Acrobat is here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/it-resources.html

The installers for updates for X and XI are package installers. The Acrobat team has, slowly, been doing a decent job of making things easier.

In your situation, flash is your real problem child, and that team…sigh.

Double-click the package and let Installer install it.

I’m not 100% sure it works on anything other than the current boot volume. If you can’t select another volume, you might need to boot from the desired volume, then install the package.
