Now, if you have any problems…

 

Some things to note (this may, or may not, apply to your set-up.exe):

  • Adobe has changed how [some] enterprise installs are done, opting to move app control and app updates to the cloud. I’m guessing this is to reduce piracy, while enforcing updates.
  • The app set-up.exe (from the direct download) will work, however it is no longer 100% silent, and cannot be completely automated. {Adobe, say it ain’t so…}
  • For a fully automated enterprise deployment, you need to log into Adobe, and access the Cloud Admin Console. Appropriate rights are required to view the Admin Console. From there, you can create a downloadable, enterprise deployment package.

 

Workaround

Rather than being forced to use the online Admin Console, which requires licensing and rights, try using the Build folder I captured, minus the latest app update.

  • Create a Build folder.
  • Download the Build.zip.
  • Extract contents of Build.zip to Build folder.
  • Download the latest desktop app from Adobe — select Creative Cloud desktop app (for Windows).
  • Extract contents of desktop app.
  • Rename set-up.exe to set-up.dat.
  • Copy contents of desktop app to Build > ASU.
  • Create your own package, calling the setup.exe file. For my package, I used a self-extracting EXE in WinRar, pointing to the setup.exe.
