Air File is Damaged

Hi,
Went to start Adobe Acrobat and it won't start, pops up with I need to update Air first. But when you click to update, an error is reported that "the air file is damaged."
So I downloaded the latest Air from Adobe.com and ran install, no problems installing it. However, the error is still reported when starting Acrobat.
So I used Windows Control Panel to uninstall Air, and reinstalled it, all went OK again.
But Acrobat still won't start, the popup appears saying Air must be updated, followed by "the air file is damaged." I also tried uninstalling then installing Air from the C:/programs/adobe folder since some others on boards say that worked. Didn't work for me.
I've tried calling Adobe tech support, on the phone 1 hour waiting with no one answering, before I ran out of time and had to hang up. I tried calling a second time, and after anotherr hour of waiting, ran out of time again.
I suspect the problem is due to a recent auto update from Adobe? My system was running fine on Windows 7 since last year, and there have been no real changes on my PC. It's just recently that Acrobat won't work. Adobe Media Player is running fine, and I know it uses AIR, so I suspect Air is working ok.
I'm running CS4 Web Premium and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7, no issues until this Air bug popped up. I do recall getting a recent Adobe auto-update though.
Any suggestions on what to try next?

After 5 months without an answer I no longer have any interest in it. Thanks anyway.

"Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

Hello-
I have an air application that is distributed via CDROM, the app is signed by a code signing certificate and timestamped. In mid-August when my certicate expired my users started calling stating that they couldn't install our product due to the following error: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author." From my understanding a timestamped application is taken at a point in time when it's generated so why would it matter if the certificate was still valid? I have since replaced the certificate and will need to redistribute to my (thousands of) users however when I test it out using a future date and time the same error occurs. Any information to help resolve this would be grately appreciated.

Air 1.51 installation failure. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

The error:
The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.
is generated when an AIR installation file is lauched from a Samba Network Drive in Vista Utlimate 64. If the install files are copied to a local drive, it installs without incident.

Working with networks drives are never reliable. Corruption, path problems, networks connections, and privlatges can come in the way of a properly mapped drive. I think your solution is fairly straight forward. You need to install your application from a local filesystem, not a mapped network drive. In the meantime, log a bug report HERE.

This says it's something to do with decompression. I am able to open and extract the file myself with archive manager on linux.

Damaged AIR File, Error #1000

Hello,
This is my first post, but hopefully someone here will be able to help me.
I am a Flex Developer who was just recently assigned to help out on a project that has gone bonkers. The project had been going fairly well... but after the latest build the following messages comes up during installation on Windows XP.
"Sorry, an error has occured.
The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
Awesome! All we need to do is get a new AIR file from the application author... oh wait... I AM the application author. Grumble grumble.
So I tried reinstalling the application, but this time I ran it with .airappinstall.log. Here is what was output by the log.
Starting app install of file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/2009-11-30r33MW4.air
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
Unpackaging to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\fla1D.tmp
failed while unpackaging: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #1000" errorID=1000]
starting cleanup of temporary files
application installer exiting
So, what exactly is this error? Can anyone point me to a place where I might be able to look up what Error #1000 is?
Don't worry I have done my homework, I know there are a decent amount of posts about people recieving an "AIR file damaged" error. I have looked and read through them all, but when they run a log on the install it ends up being a different error...so the other posts are not entirely helpful.
I am guessing something must have been changed in the most recent build but I was just placed into this project so I do not have much knowledge of previous versions. Any hints of suggestions about common things to check that might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

It might help if you can get the installation log and post
it.
To get the log, create a file .airappinstall.log in your home
directory.

AIR Badge + RewriteRule fails - Downloaded file is not an air file

Hi everyone!
I'm not entirely sure my problem comes from RewriteRule but I've searched this forum for topics on corrupted AIR files and the Install Badge and tried almost every possible tip with no luck so I thought maybe my special issue comes from it...
Here we go:
I have a server-side script that builds AIR apps which are supposed to be installed (via an Install Badge). Those AIR apps are not stored at a public URL (for security reasons) but read (via PHP) when a specific URL is called. Let me give you an example (with fake paths) :
The server-side built AIR app is store at /srv/data/air/myApp.air
A RewriteRule redirects calls to http://www.my-server.com/air/999.air to http://www.my-server.com/air.php?id=999
The air.php uses the GET id to read the AIR file :
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private", false);
header("Content-Type: $mimeType");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name;" );
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($path));
readfile($path);
With $mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" and $name="999.air"...
When accessing the rewritten URL directly with a browser, everything is fine: the AIR file can be downloaded and installed as expected.
But! When using an Install Badge linking to that URL, I get the nasty "The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged" message...
And here's what's stored in .airappinstall.log:
Starting app install of http://(...)/9889.air
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
Downloading file to C:\Documents and Settings\Quentin\Local Settings\Temp\fla19D.tmp
Received HTTP Response Status event
Response URL is http://(...)/9889.air
Downloaded file is not an air file.
starting cleanup of temporary files
application installer exiting
Hum... And I'm stuck.
Thoughts?
I have multiple Install Badges in the same page, do you think this can break things?
I've try adding the AddType instruction in a .htaccess file but it didn't change a thing...
Thanks in advance!

OK, I've got news.
Bad news.
In fact I realized the appurl set in the Install badge is (obviously) not called directly but by a script located at http://adobe.com/apollo... So your my session is not available in the script that is called and that reads the actual AIR file. So I can't check wether the user requiring the file has the right to. At least, not the way I intended to do it...
I will keep you updated if I find something!

Latest Kuler installer file is damaged

I just uninstalled, AIR B2, Flex B2, and Kuler, and installed
Flex B3, AIR B3, and am trying to install the latest Kuler for AIR
B3. The file I am downloading is:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/kuler/kuler_desktop_121207.air
When I try to install it, AIR throws this error: "Sorry an
error has occurred. The application could not be installed because
the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the
application author."
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bad install
file?

The file posted on labs is working great.
I tried the link on kuler.adobe.com and it does not work.
The file downloads and then unzips itself leaving a kuler folder
with all the files inside (swf, icons, etc). So I guess it's just
not packaged up correctly. If it helps to know I did notice that
there were 30 errors opening the kuler web site in the activity
console. They are all the same thing and read:
(generated by JavaScript) Unsupported URL
They appear just below the link
kuler.adobe.com/kuler/scripts/swfaddress.html in the activity
list.

Adobe Air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged....

Every time I try to install new product through adobe air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author. Kiran Kumar: May I have the product name and version you are referring to? I've looked over the online suggested repair which indicates to search for and delete Adobe Muse but when go looking for it, it doesn't seem to exist. How can I get this resolved?

Finally found a fix on my own....Wasted like 3 hours today. Hope this helps for anyone struggling with that stupid error message:

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Adobe pdf problem; the message comes up:- There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Dear all
I have got 3 mac computers. 2011 13 inch air, 27 inch mac and 2010 pro. latest softwares. all of them have a problem in opening pdf files;esp older files. the error message comes up 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.'
I have reinstalled reader, checked software updates etc.
Any help will be appreciated

It isn't likely to be a problem with the software. You have two different applications which have no interaction between them, neither of which can open the same group of files on three different systems. It's possible that one application has a problem, but not both or that one system has a problem, but not all three. Typically if there were software corruption, it would not show as a failure to open a specific type of file, but in opening and running the application itself.
I realise that that doesn't really help you since it doesn't resolve the poblem, but I think you need to start with a known-good pdf, preferably one you can download from an internet source, and see whether that opens. If it does, then it would confirm that the software is working properly.
For a known-good PDF to download, try one of the manuals from the support site here.

Photoshop Elements 9: cannot install, files are damaged [Windows 8.1]

I tried it with both downloading the two files from Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7 and Photoshop Elements 9 / Premiere Elements 9 Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, neither installation worked.
When trying to install with the separate .exe file, it says that "An error occured while extracting some files, please check if there is enough space and if you are allowed to write in the folder." but there are 152GB free and I'm the admin.
When trying to unpack first and then install via the .exe inside the .7z, it says "Error in "PSE 9\Data11.cab". The file ist damaged." and so are all the other files: listed as damaged.
I downloaded the files multiple times and tried a lot: I reread all the "Very Important Instructions" on ProDesignTools and followed them strictly, did not find something in the "troubleshoot installation", downgraded Adobe Air to the version inside the .7z, set up a new user account on my computer (even though I installed Windows 8.1 only last week) , deactivated all tasks via msconfig, did a clean boot... installing failed every time.
Once, I archieved to get the .exe working and it started to install, but at one point of about 75% an error occured, that "some files are damaged" and the process made until this point was automatically cancelled, deinstalled. It only took a few minutes longer until failure.
But what else can I do? I already read in this forum that Pse9 + W8.1 worked for others. But it does not for me. So, are the files damaged?
Thank you for any advice!

Please check if the downloads are the full size, and not somehow truncated.
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.exe : 1.16 MB = 1,199 KB = 1,227,128 bytes
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.7z : 1.75 GB = 1,838,906 KB = 1,883,039,681 bytes

Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally. It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is included with the air install file. Is there a size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to create and AIR is v 1.53.

I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram. It plays fine on the Mac. On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb. I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe... I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

File is damaged and can't be repaired error

I was at the IRS forms page, downloaded and printed some forms, but when I tried to download and print the instruction and tax chart pages, I began getting 'file is damaged and can't be repaired' error. I upgraded my free Reader to version 9, rebooted the computer, and tried again with the same results. I also deleted my internet (Windows XP) history and temp files (but not the cookies), and that didn't help either. I contacted live help from IRS but agent said he was having no problem getting the files to show up so it's something to do with my system. I tried downloading the files to my computer, but again when I tried to open them, got the same error. What could be wrong?
I did have a window pop up from Adobe during the last print out stating that that page was not going to display properly, but in fact it did, and the very next .pdf file and every one since then has now given an error message so I'm unable to get any more of the .pdf files I need.
Any suggestions or help will be much appreciated...
AJH

I think I resolved the problem....I had version 5 installed prior to getting the update of version 9 without realizing that both being installed at the same time would interfere with each other. I had assumed the new version would 'overwrite' the old one. I uninstalled everything (both versions) and saw that version 9 indicated AIR in the Add-Remove Programs list. When I rebooted after uninstalling both, I opened the folder on my desktop that version 9 put in there, opened another folder called 'Reader' and installed ONLY the version 9 which now shows in Add-Remove Programs as Adobe Reader 9 instead of AIR and rebooted again. Went back to the IRS site, and am now printing just fine the documents I needed.
I am going to assume that the older version 5 was not able to view and print some of the documents there since the IRS site probably uses updated versions and that it was the source of my problem since even with the newer version 9, I was experiencing the same problem, and not the AIR file I noticed in Add-Remove Programs.
Although no one was responding to me (not your fault since it was only a short time ago that I posted this problem), I am posting my results so anyone else with this problem will know how I resolved it.
