Application Is Running On A Version of Adobe AIR Which Is No Longer Supported?

"This application is running on a version of Adobe AIR which is no longer supported. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from..."
This is the message I get when I try opening an F4V. file. I never had this issue in the past. I tried going to the website to update my version of Adobe AIR, and it says I cannot, since it's already up-to-date. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you have access to the problematic machine? If so, maybe you could try to install Sysinternal's Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Run the tool, create filter to see just events containing your app name and try to find in the result any issue... you could also compare the log with same log from not problematic machine or with app made with older SDK which was working.
That's all what I can do... it's a shame that nobody from Adobe is interested yet... maybe you could also submit a bug.

Cant install or uninstall Adobe Air. Keep getting error message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found"

I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe AIR for Flixster. When I tried to open Flixster I recieved an error message saying i needed to install Adobe AIR. I looked and saw that according to control panel, Adobe AIR is installed. I attempted to uninstall but get this EXACT message:
"This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version."
I have tried going to the mentioned website but i get an error message saying installation failed and may need administrative privilages but I AM the administrator!
I then tried multiple solutions on the forums including the command prompt uninstall and still no luck. contacted customer support who told me i can only receive assistance through these forums.
Very frustrating. Please Help.

I have the same issue with a customer of ours:
Try to uninstall AIR – same message. (When I reinstall, the install says it’s successful.) I try to run our app, same message. I downloaded another AIR app, same message – so it’s not our app it’s AIR. We logged in as Administrator, same message. It’s a Windows7 machine. I did a system restore to 2 days ago and started over and still the same issues. I tried running the Windows Fixit to uninstall https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall – didn’t work.

AIR 4.0 captive runtime won't run: "requires a version of Adobe AIR" alert

I'm creating an AIR captive runtime application, and it won't run on a target Windows* machine. It displays the following alert instead:
This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of this runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version.
How can I package the captive runtime differently so it won't display this message? The application is a pure ActionScript app compiled with the adt binary from the standalone SDK (this is not Flex).
In addition, I'm disturbed that a captive runtime AIR application pings Adobe in any way. I am seeing occasional pings to an adobe site upon launch of the app (something like airdownload2.adobe.com, if I remember correctly). No I'm not using any service calls in my app at this point in development, it's very simple, and should not be pinging the net at all. Why is this happening? I need to disable this too.
* Problem occurring only on a particular Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit machine. Unfortunately, this is the end client's machine so I can't tinker with it.

I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR. Microsoft has released a utility that can help resolve installation problems. Would you mind giving this a try and let us know how it works for you? When running the Fix it, go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system. Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.
Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It
Another alternative is to create a new, temporary user account and install AIR from there. Once installed, go back to your normal account and try running your AIR app again.

I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.

I own a version of Photoshop CS2 which is no longer supported. Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

Do you mean CS2 won't run on your present operating system?
Admittedly CS2 is rather old and Adobe no longer supports it, but it should still run on older operating systems. Which OS do you have?
Elements is one option. However if you want PS Extended with all the bells & whistles, look at the $10/mo Photography plan which includes Lightroom.

This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found

Hi All,
Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, all of my AIR applications (like TweetDeck) fail with the above message.
I've tried uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling AIR several times, but the problem it's still there.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
Edo.
PS. Crash info attached.

Scholarpack,
Thank you for your answer.
I don't think that's the problem, because no application runs.
On the other hand, I tried to download an older AIR version (last one is 1.5.2.), but I couldn't find it. Do you know where can I get a previous version?
Cheers.
Edo.

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open. Help?

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open. It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up. Any ideas from anyone?

Hi Steve -
I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere. Not in Application Folder. Not in the Finders Directory Files. I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there.
So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6. Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files.
When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons - red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical) Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart). Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge?
Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE?
DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH.
I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files. In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite. Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC?
Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue. It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional. Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive. I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

I am having trouble running the latest version of adobe reader 10 how can i resolve this

i am having trouble running the latest version of adobe reader 10. i have adobe 9 which is fine but i'm not able to do certain things on certain sites without 10. how can i resolve this?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

You mean the trial version? Yes, you can run it on as many devices you want. Each device will have its own 30-day trial limit.

Error Window in Release Version of Adobe AIR

Is there a way to turn on the error window in the release
version of Adobe AIR?
When running my AIR application from in Flex Builder I get a
window with error details when an error occures. Is there some way
to to get this window and error details when running my installed
AIR app? I have the Adobe AIR 1.1 installed. Is there another
version of Adobe AIR 1.1 which has this error window in it?

You cannot catch these errors. However, you can use the
following unsupported method with AIR 1.1 to enable debug mode for
the installed applications.
Please note that we don't promise this will work in any
future release, and it won't work if either the DRM or ELS APIs are
used by your application. Also, it has a negative impact on
performance.
To enable debug mode for installed applications: First find
the installed location of the application. Then, find the
"application.xml" file inside that directory. Create an empty file
called "debug" next to application.xml. The next time the
application is started, it will launch in debug mode, as if run
from adl.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

I have the latest version of Adobe AIR but...

Hello I was wondering if there is a solution to this problem because I really need help. So I downloaded a program off the internet and when I tryed to open it a message appeared saying the following This application requires a version of Adobe AIR that cannot be found. At this time I didnt have AIR nor did I know what it was but I went ahead and downloaded the latest version 3.7. With this out of the way I went back to the program and tryed again but the same message appeared! Please Help!

I am having the same issue. I get the same error when I even try to uninstall it to attempt a second installation

Tried to install latest version of adobe air using file hippo, this didn't work so uninstalled adobe air in the hope of reinstalling but this didn't work either.

Hi,
I tried to install an update for adobe air 11 yesterday, at the end of the process I got the message "An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
After I click close, Windows Program Compatability Assistant opens saying "This program might not have installed correctly" and offers to "Reinstall using recommended settings".
When I click on "Reinstall using recommended settings", the same message comes up about the error and contact the administrator.
I use Google chrome and FileHippo update checker, I have also uninstalled the version of adobe air that was on my computer in the hope I could install the current version but unfortunately the error message is all I get.
If you need any further information I will be happy to help, although I have forgotten how to do a screenshot.
Regards,
Helen Smith.

A reply to myself! Thanks to Adobe support I needed to update the Adobe Applications Manager to the Creative Cloud App which so far appears to have fixed the problem
