Adobe Air on Mac: "Something Went Wrong Trying to Install This Application" Error

I have been reading several posts on this, but nowhere can I find a solution. Within the past few weeks, I receive this error any time I try to install a new AIR application:
"Something Went Wrong Trying to Install This Application. Please install the latest version of AIR from.."
Then it gives me the download link. I've tried reinstalling, but that doesn't fixt the issue. I'm using OS X 10.6.3- is there ANY way to solve this?

Hi Jason. Can you post your install log here so we can take a look at what the problem may be? To see the install log, Open "Console" to view logging. Then copy and paste the log here.
In the meantime, try to uninstall AIR before reinstalling AIR to see if that fixes the problem.
Thank you!

Strange solution to "Something went wrong trying to install this application."

Basically the solution was to install
AIR
Beta 3 then install the AIR 1.0, copy "Adobe AIR Application
Installer.exe", "Adobe AIR Application Installer.swf", and "Adobe
AIR.dll" from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
AIR\Versions\1.0 directory into the AIR beta 3 directory which I
think was "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0.6".
Then, I associated the .air file with the "airappinstaller.exe"
executable located in the AIR beta 3 directory. Amazingly, doing
this allowed me to install the AIR application without any
problems.
The problem this addresses is getting the message "Something
went wrong trying to install this application." every time I tried
to install an AIR application. The exact error message is below. I
assumed that I was having problems because I had installed an AIR
beta in the past. I'm not for sure on that though. The AIR
installer log seemed normal. At least there were not any error
messages that I could see. The AIR application installer log did
not output any data for me. I followed the instructions from
this
blog on setting up the installer logs.
Here is the error message:
Adobe AIR
Something went wrong trying to install this application.
Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair
and then try again.
OK

Something Went Wrong Trying to install...

I haven't every been able to get AIR to work on my laptop
since it was called Apollo, but I got a bunch of cool links to
stuff at MAX that I wanted to try out, so I uninstalled the AIR
Runtime I had, rebooted, installed AIR 1.5, and now all attempts to
install AIR applications com back with the dreaded "Something Went
Wrong Trying to install this application." error.
I'm running Vista Home Premium, and I did run into a problem
where the HKLM/Software/Classes/.air keys were locked, and after
wrestling with the Registry permissions, I managed to clean that
up, so the installer now seems to be creating and deleting those
keys properly. However, I'm still getting this "Something Went
Wrong" error.
I've created .airappinstall.log and .airinstall.log files in
my home directory, but the .airappinstall.log file remains empty.
The .airinstall.log file shows a successful install of the AIR
runtime.
I've got several .air files that I've downloaded and saved to
my computer, and these seem to suffer the same problems as if I
were using the "Badge" installations online.
If I uninstall the AIR application, and then use a Badge
install to install both the application and the runtime, both
successfully install. However, any subsequent application installs
fail with the same "Something went wrong" message.

Do you have Vista 64bit?
Does this look like your problem?

Error in Search results - Sorry, something went wrong. Display template had an error

I'm receiving this error in custom search results page in our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise farm:
Sorry, something went wrong.
Display Error: The display template had an error. You can correct it by fixing the template or by changing the display template used in either the Web Part properties or Result Types.
'console' is undefined (CoreRender: ~ sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_mycustom_Site.js
I believe a similar error was resolved by March 2013 CU but our farm us running Aug 2013 CU. I have also tried adding domain to trusted zone in IE but still the same error.
I do not get this error in Google Chrome or in IE 10 or above. Not sure if it is an issue with my display template because error disappears when upgrading IE to 10 or 11.
Update: In IE 8 I can see search results with no error if the developer toolbar (F12) is enabled!

Hi ,
Did you try these steps
Open up the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as Administrator
and run the following command: Enable-SPFeature SearchWebParts -url http://<central admin
url>
Use a browser on a different machine, or add you SharePoint
site(s) to the ‘Trusted Sites’ in IE.
Activate the feature : “My
Site Host“. This is a hidden feature scoped at the Site Collection level. The feature ID is 49571CD1-B6A1-43a3-BF75-955ACC79C8D8.
The feature folder under SharePointRoot is MySiteHost.

Something went wrong with the invisible shield application

After putting on the invisible shield, I was really happy because it turned out great. I waited about two to three hours then started using it.
To my horror, I think my nano might have shorted out because when I press play the song changes. sometimes the play/pause button doesnt even do anything when i press on it...when i touch the volume control, it increases and decreases erratically regardless of what im trying to do...sometimes it even seems like my nano has a mind of its own because when i simply move the nano, without touching the controls, the song changes or the volume changes.
this erratic behavior occurs sporadically. sometimes my nano works fine. then right when i think all is well, my nano becomes possessed. is it possible that my nano has shorted out? maybe i should let it dry?

hey carl,
The process of applying the shield requires that I wet the film with soap and water. What do you suggest I do? My mistake was that I did not put on the hold button when I was applying the wet film and thus my ipod turned on while I was putting on the shield. i realize now that my nano should not have turned on for 24 hours. Should I just wait and see if the funky behavior goes away? or should i visit the nearest apple store?

Need help! Something went wrong in iTunes install

During my install of iTunes 7, my laptop overheated and shut down. Now when I try to install itunes it tells me that quicktime.msi is missing and the old copy of quicktime can not be replaced. It won't allow me to uninstall the old version of quicktime and I can't even open iTunes without the new Quicktime. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?

Now when I try to install itunes it tells me that quicktime.msi is missing and the old copy of quicktime can not be replaced. It won't allow me to uninstall the old version of quicktime and I can't even open iTunes without the new Quicktime.
let's try this first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, does an itunes install go through okay afterwards?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Can't install widget browser - Adobe AIR, "Something went Wrong . . ."

I'm having trouble installing the widget browser as I get an error:
"Something went wrong trying to install this application. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again." I've included a screen shot at bottom of this post.
I've downloaded the adobe air application and installed several times, but still get this same popup error
message when trying to install the Dreamweaver Widget Browser.
Here are some details of my system:
OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3
Dreamweaver CS5
Adobe Flash 10 installed
Adobe Download Manager installed
Adobe Air installed (per Control Panel -> Programs & Features)

Thank you for your replies and help. I followed your instructions and found that I'm running the current version of AIR:
I couldn't find the version via your first instructions. When I browsed and ran properties on folder 1.0, I was presented with Version folders with different dates, but could find nothing about the current version.
I followed your second set of instructions and was able to browse to the AIR folder and just run the application and browse for the file I downloaded. It worked like a charm to visually show me the version, (first screen shot above).
I'm wondering if it's because I try to keep my C:Windows drive as bare as possible by installing all of my applications on another hard drive. This version of AIR is running on my C drive, yet DW & Photoshop CS5 are running on my "E" drive where there is no folder called "Common Files" for AIR versions.
I've run the command line you had suggested as well in order to keep a log file. I'll pass along the results when I try to install again.

Pls install latest version of Adobe AIR-something went wrong

When I try to open an episode in Photoshop CS5 Feature Tour () http://tv.adobe.com/watch/photoshop-cs5-feature-tour/terry-whites-favorite-things-about-cs 5-design-premium/) an AIR error message pops up saying:
Something went wrong trying to install this application. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again.
I have downloaded the program from that site, uninstalled AIR and reinstalled the downloaded version to no avail. It just keeps popping up. I click OK on the pop-up error message and the video plays just fine. But it is an annoying pop-up that just won't go away.
What gives.
Roxy

No, I bloody hate that feature of Vista and turned it off long ago!
I think you’re on the money with the permissions thing because the digging around on the net, which I read seems to points to that.
But as I say there is loads of conjuncture and advice but no solutions

Hi,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.

I have been trying to download Adobe Air for a website I'm trying to access (Colonial Williamsburg). After the installation was finished, I went back to the website and it still said I didn't have Adobe Air. I tried reinstalling and Adobe said I already have it on my system (Mac OSX 10.9). I can't find the app. I uninstalled, restarted, etc. and same results.
Thoughts anyone?

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?

close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

While upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.2 something went wrong and came up with the message "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred [1015]." Now it will not start at all. It just stays on screen with USB and the iTune picture. What can I do to get it going again. I only tried to upgrade because I was prompted to up-grade and now I am helpless. I did a backup before starting the upgrade. The error message did not tell what to do next. Any help is very much appreciated.

Usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original
carrier .
Updating the operating system locks it back to that original carrier
You could try this

However if the iPhone was hacked it is probably a paper weight now
and as this is an Apple hosted forum you can get no further help here

Project Online - Sorry, something went wrong when trying to load PWA

Hi All
When trying to load a Project Online instance (a new deployment in this case), we get the 'Sorry, something went wrong' error message.
I tried to provision another PWA site (PWA2), and the same error occurs.
Anybody seen this?

Hello,
Providing it has provisioned correctly in the SharePoint Site Collection admin page, there isn't a lot you can do other than raise a support ticket via the Office 365 tenant. If these are new blank PWA instances, try switching the permission modes, see if
that helps.
