Need Help with unattended install of Adobe After Effects cs3

[clivebuckwheat]

Hi

Maybe someone can help me. I have install Adobe After effects CS3 on 30 pc's. I have gotten the silent install working just fine by using the following command to record the setup and generate an install.xml file

Setup --record=1

the unattended installation works just fine, but does anyone know how I can include the updates needed for the packages as well. I been doing a lot of reading and it seems I need something called an Adobe customization tool, I went on the Adobe site and can't seem to find it. Lastly I read that to include the updates I would have to create an AIP (Administrative Install point), is this possible with Adobe After Effects cs3?

Any help would be great.

I did an Administrative Install Point for Adobe After effects CS3,

by running the following command on each of the msi located in the payload folder point them to the z:\aip folder

for example

msiexec /a "c:\Adobe After Effects CS3\After effects\Adobe CS 3\Payloads\AdobeAftereffects8All\AdobeAftereffects8All.msi" Targetdir=z:\Aip

msiexec /a "c:\Adobe After Effects CS3\After Effects\Adobe CS3\payloads\AdobeAfterEffects8PresetsAll\AdobeAfterEffects8PresetsAll.msi" TargetDir=z:\aip

and so on for all the msi's in the payloads folder

the contents of the aip directory after the setup has been run is roughly 1.5 gig

How do I patch the AIP with all the updates Adobe After effects needs once it has been deployed?

Any assistance would greatly be appreciated as I am desperately trying my best to learn the ways of deployment.

Am I doing this the right way?. I need to be able to patch my Adobe after effects before deployment.
