Hi

I am wanting to know the best possible way to deploy photoshop elements v6. I am wanting to deploy this from deployment console but dont know where to create this from. Do I get the msi and use wise.

Am I better installing this onto a pc, creating an image and casting out to the network.

Can you help.

Best way

The easiest way is to take the MSI, create a MST with wise packaging studio and deploy it with DS.
The easiest way is to get SVS on all clients, build a package and deploy it with DS

Deploying Adobe Elements

Once you create your .mst to contain all the setting you want put them both in a Wise script. Use the 'Install File' command and drop the two files to a temp dir or use the sys dir. The next line should call the .msi with your normal command line like msiexec.exe /I "path to where you dropped .msi" TRANSFORMS="path to where you dropped .mst" /qb! (change depending on user intersaction desired)
then use Exit Installation

This will let the machines install the file from a local source rather than over the network which is better all around. Once you compile the script it's in an .exe format and if you wish to use the uninstall method use Wise Script Project editor and use the uninstall option which writes a logfile that is called with the instructions on how to remove what you laid down.
