In order to install some Adobe products when there is no GUI user currently
logged in, it has been necessary to use `launchctl bsexec` to run the
installation process in the same context as the loginwindow.
Adobe documents this technique here:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/AAMEE_Exception/en_us/AAMEE_Exceptions_v2_1.pdf
<http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/AAMEE_Exception/en_us/AAMEE_Exceptions_v2_1.pdf>
Here is an example from that document:
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent
With the SIP and launchd changes in El Capitan, is there an equivalent? Though
I would hope Adobe would fix their installers to not need these silly hacks,
even if they do in the future, that’s not going to help the install of current
and recent releases.
