Greetings all,
I've got a lot of OS X Tiger computers that I'd like to install Acrobat Reader onto. However, the installed as designed by Adobe requires that you manually run the installer. I would like to create a packge (.pkg) installer so that I can push the installation to the machines using Apple Remote Desktop. However, I've tracked down and create an installer that installs what appears to be all the files that the Adobe installer writes, but upon first launch, the application asks for an admin user/password in order to "Self-heal" itself.

Anyone have any idea what files are necessary, and what needs to be done so that this admin user/pass is not needed. These are student devices, so I do not want to have to login as admin on each device,...when I say I have a lot think 1000s of computers.

Thanks,
Jeff
