Admin Rights for Adobe AIR apps

Which Admin rights are needed on a system to install a .AIR file on a system? In our Enterprise scenario users do not have Admin rights on the system. And whenever user tries installing an AIR app an error is thrown for the same. I want to know what are the least (Admin) rights that we need to give to a user on a WindowsXP system so that he can install air apps?

Hello,
Unfortunately, there isn't a simple answer to this question because AIR isn't in complete comtrol over the full set of files and registry keys touched during an install - we rely on Windows Installer for that. However you can find additional information about this at:
Does Installing an AIR Application Require Admin Rights?
What are Administrative Rights, Anyway?
You might also want to vote for this idea: Installation of Adobe AIR apps without having administrative privileges
Hope this helps,

License Keys for Adobe Air Apps

Many software applications require the end user to input a valid license key before proceeding with the installation. I have yet to come across an Adobe AIR application that employs this mechanism.
The question is how can i integrate such a mechanism into an adobe air app?

Two options:
a) Build a licensing verification scheme yourself
b) Use a 3rd party tool, such as NitroLM or Sharify or Shibuya

Admin rights to install AIR apps on Windows?

Hi
I have the AIR framework 1.5 already installed on a Windows XP PC.
After this, are admin/power-user rights required to install AIR apps on the same machine to the "My Documents" folder? I would assume NO. Pls clarify.
If admin rights are required, are there ways to disable certain install features (Add/Remove control panel entry etc) to remove this admin requirement?
Thanks in advance

You must have the correct permissions to install anything. This includes AIR applications.

Videos/Audios for Adobe AIR App

Hi there,
I'm new to Adobe AIR and I would like to find out if I'm building an app that sells videos/musics . Do I need to store all the video/music samples in the user's computer (part of the app) in order to be viewed offline?
Thanks in advance!
cheers.

You need to store the music and videos somewhere on the user's computer, but not in the application install directory. (The documents directory is possibly a good place for them.)

Adobe Air App in First Lady Michelle Obama's "Apps for Healthy Kis" Contest

Break pal - Fitness at Your Desk (http://www.breakpal.com). An online workplace wellness application built using Adobe Air and Drupal has been accepted into First Lady Michelle Obama's " Apps for healthy kids competition.
The competition is to inspire application developers to develop utilities or games which inspire kids and adults to eat healthier and develop better exercise habits. Break Pal does both by reminding users to exercise at intervals and then delivers office safe micro-workouts right to the desktop.
Exercises are mostly Qigong, cardio kung fu, and yoga based.
Social networking aspects are also used to create accountability.
If the application wins it will be heavily promoted by the whitehouse and very likely will end up being used by millions of school children, businesses, and individuals to help them stay healthy and eat right. A good push for good health and adobe air

Adobe air apps cannot be installed

Hi,
I have trouble with my PC to install any kind of adobe air app. When I start to install a Adobe air app, I get the UAC request and I confirm it but then the Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 is hanging and doing nothing.
When I repeat the process another Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 instance is started.
Here is my equipment and what I tried:
Equipment:
Windows 7 professional SP1 64 -Bit
- Reinstalling Adobe air with Revo Uninstaller(cleaning registry) and installing it new with Admin rights.
- Installing Adobe air in Windows XP Sp3 mode
- Multiple apps were tried and when I start them with the SDK, they are working fine.
- No information are available in the windows eventlogs
Any idea how to solve it or any possibility to start a debug tool to get more information?
Thank you in advance for any input and help!
Cheers,
Dominik

Hi Chris,
I appreciate your support!
Sadly the Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It tool does not work, adobe air is still hanging during the app installation.
This is what I have done:
1. Uninstall Adobe air with the Microsoft Tool
2. Install Adobe air new
3. Try to install the app SmartClient.air -> Did not work
4. Try to install the app DesktopiPhone.air -> Did not work
Now I have 4 Adobe air instance in the task manager(see screenshot)

Adobe Air App No Fonts [SOLVED]

I installed lib32 adobe air and when I run my app I don't get any fonts. I just get square boxes. I read a few suggestion that are a little old, but am wondering if I am not setting a variable right or am missing something. I think from the error message that I am getting it is trying to read pango64 instead of pango32.
(adl:7308): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
How do I set it so adobe air apps look for the correct lib32 pango?
Thanks

Questions about System Requirements for Adobe Air programs

     Earlier today I asked someone who runs Tweetdeck if they knew what the system requirements were for running Tweetdeck on my desktop (Windows)
they gave me a link here: http://www.adobe.com/products/air/systemreqs/
and I found this:
Windows
2.33GHz Intel® Pentium® 4, AMD Athlon® 64 2800+, or faster processor
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home, Professional, or Tablet PC Edition with Service Pack 3; Windows Server® 2003 or 2008; Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise (including 64-bit editions) with Service Pack 2; or Windows 7
512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
Here are my computer statistics:
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Basic (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 (6001.vistasp1_ldr.101014-0432)
           Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
       System Model: Compaq Presario CQ60 Notebook PC
               BIOS: PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.1
          Processor: AMD Athlon Dual-Core QL-65 (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
             Memory: 2814MB RAM
          Page File: 1858MB used, 3993MB available

    DirectX Version: DirectX 10
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
     DxDiag Version: 6.00.6001.18000 32bit Unicode
Will me only having a 2.1GHz processor really affect how my performance is with Adobe Air products/apps in general?

Yes- I've had some lower price pc's using an Adobe AIR app and can tell the difference.
Computers where performance was a huge issue was Compaq CQ56 & Toshiba Satellite C655D
These computers are under 2.0 GHz and the app seems to freeze up on occassion or run slower.

Error message when downloading adobe air app.

I have according to the installation program successfully installed adobe air. I am now trying to download an adobe air app from Jacqui Lawson and keep getting the following message.
"Sorry an error has occurred. The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author."
I have read other comments regarding this matter and tried everything suggested so far. I am still having the same issue.
I am running windows vista 32 bit. All firewall and anti virus are off, UAC is enabled, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and I have tried using a different browser. Can anyone suggest anything else to try.

Many of us have encounted this issue. The problem is not confined to a particular version or computer operating. Many homemade remedies and scientific ones have worked for some and not others. The most recent fix was offered by an ID by the name of Maud Barbara and seems to have been the answer for that user and at least one more.

Hello
I had the same problem as you and I just d have the solution:
go to C / program files (86) / common files/OOBE
Rename OOBE by OLDOOBE
and your problem is resolved
You can reinstall the software

Will Adobe AIR apps work on iOS (Javascript/HTML)?

Hello,
I haven't been able to find any definitive answer on whether Adobe AIR apps using Javascript and HTML can work on iOS.
Anyone know for sure?
And if so, what happens with the APIs available through these swfs that we currently include:
networkInfoWrapper.swf
servicemonitor.swf
applicationupdater_ui.swf
Many thanks
Stephen

The answer is no. Apps developed for AIR using HTML and JavaScript are not supported on iOS or other mobile platforms. The mobile platforms do include a StageWebView component that can be used to load and display HTML and JavaScript. However, it is entirely different than the HTMLLoader control used on the desktop platforms (for HTML-based AIR apps). You cannot, for example, call any AIR/Flash APIs from JavaScript running in a StageWebView. In general, very little communication is possible between your ActionScript application code and the JavaScript code running in the StageWebView object.

Adobe AIR Apps + Safari = Very slow

Hi everybody,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Adobe AIR Apps on iPad. I've tested several Apps now (one GPU-Heavy Game, one CPU-Blitting App, one pretty standard Puzzle) and all of them do have the same issue - as soon as Safari is running in the background it sometimes (not always.. and most likely on iPad1) slows my App down to 1fps. Until I close Safari again. I haven't ever seen any other App doing so, thus I believe it's an Adobe AIR bug. Maybe only on iPad though.
Does anyone know why this happens or if I can get around of that? Besides my Apps run superfast.
What I've tested so far is:
- My memory usage is ~4mb. Doesn't seem to bother him if it's more or not
- My GPU-Cache is held quite low (but even with empty GPU Cache this issue appears)
- I'm using an Enter-Frame in all my apps which simulates the rendertick. Maybe this may be the fault?!
Many thanks in advance,
Marvin.

Furthermore:
- if the iPad was restarted you can have opened any iOS system-app without slowing down the Adobe AIR app
- nevertheless after some hours this bug occurs again.
Our game is in stores now: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifunnel-frenzy-hd/id457822239?mt=8 and many people send us bugreports because of it. As soon as I'm telling them to close iOS system-apps things work superfine again.
You can download and test this bug for yourself - I think this might be pretty self-explaining then.
I'm a bit struggling how to solve this.. honestly.

Displaying fb Friends in Adobe AIR app

First off, I realize I'm completely in over my head here.
I am a designer... not a programmer. Sure, I've set up some "quizzes" on facebook... but nothing like what I'm trying to do here. So, I'm hoping to get some quick and simple help from someone here.
Anyway... here's my problem...
I've made a fun little Adobe AIR app using Flash CS4. When ran it makes your computer screen look like you're logging into the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil franchise. It has company data, surveillance cameras and other stuff. It's totally for fun and doesn't "do" anything. Just wanted to make an AIR app late one night and this is what I did.
Now, however, I would like to make it so that you can login to your facebook account and then view a "database of Umbrella Employees"... which... in reality... would simply be a list of your facebook friends with pictures! The descriptions of what they "do" could be randomly generated from a file or something... or it could be grabbed from some posts they've made or something. But the friend pictures and names are really what I'm wanting to show.
I have looked and looked all over for a simple "downloadable" example of this. I've found some things, but everything is like reading an encyclopedia... and, like I said, I'm simply not that smart.
Does anyone have a Flash CS4 .fla file that you could share with me to show me how to do this?
I'm serious when I say I can't figure much out... so please include all library files and anything else I need to know (like upload this to your server here) and stuff.
If you help, and I "release" this (obviously I can't make money on it) I'll put an Easter egg in for you with your profile or picture or whatever you like!
Here's hoping for some help...
Noel
