CLI installation with the bsexec hack, used when a command needs to run in a different context than the current context, is a possible option. Earlier versions of the Adobe support article for DPS Desktop Tools mentioned “sudo”, implying there was more flexibility during installation, but this appears to either be in error or installation with “sudo” stopped working at some point. “sudo”) leads to no authentication prompt, but also leads to a near-guaranteed installation hang.

Command-line (CLI) installation per the Adobe support article for installing DPS Desktop Tools mentions “Enter administrator credentials when prompted”, which means a non-administrator can’t install the software. Sometimes DPS Desktop Tools accidentally sneaks into a CCP package, but the results are failure-prone. This is because DPS Desktop Tools’ “ inclusion results in a much higher rate of failure of the deployment package“. Creative Cloud Packager (CCP) (and its predecessor, Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE)) intentionally block DPS Desktop Tools updates. Although my organization is repackaging DPS Desktop Tools for InDesign CS6 (and I know others are as well) I wanted to avoid this if possible with DPS Desktop Tools for InDesign CC 2014. Attempting to collect the products of an installation and reproduce the intention of the original installer is difficult. Repackaging is generally considered harmful. It turns out DPS Desktop Tools for InDesign CC 2014 (hereafter referred to as DPS Desktop Tools) is surprisingly difficult to deploy.
