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.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

    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 tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.d11 was not found."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times.  Am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  help

    I recently tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times with no success.  I am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  Help please.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I keep getting error message saying application did not initialize and I can't get on the internet with mozilla at all

    when I click to open the internet through Mozilla Firefox, I get this message; "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application."
    When I do this, I have to click on it twice before the box goes away. I still can't access the internet through Mozilla.

    Well, if they are private range IPs it does not make any difference. Everybody use them.
    Anyway hide any personal information.

  • 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.
