Fixing Adobe SelfHeal.xml problems

Written by MacEnterprise

Monday, 12 March 2007

One of the most common problems when deploying Adobe applications is the ability to "Self-Heal" a broken application. In particular, this feature can severely impact Enterprise deployments. Read on for how to fix this in a general way.

Install Microsoft Office
Install each Adobe application as required in your deployment scenario
Search in each Application bundle for a file containing the string SelfHeal.xml
In each file, search for the following snippet:
```
							requiredYES

	
```
Change it to the following for each occurrence (there may be more than one)
```
							requiredNO

	 

	
```
Do this for each SelfHeal file, for each Adobe application.

Please flesh out this article a little more. How can SelfHeal "severely impact Enterprise deployments"?

Does this have anything to o with repackaging Reader 8? If so could we get a follow-up on properly repackaging Reader 8?

Thank you.

In my experience, SelfHeal is bad for non-administrators, since the application is trying to write to the /Library/ folder, which non-admins can't write to. Acrobat 7 Professional had this problem; the solution was to edit the CS2EnuProSelfHeal.xml file. On startup, the application constantly asks for an administrator's password so that it can "fix" itself.

Has anyone got a tip on how to fix this for version 8.x?

We've tried pretty much every 'solution' we can find, but still no luck...
