Adobe AIR Runtime Redistribution and Native Installer

Will there be new instructions for Adobe AIR 2.0 Runtime Redistribution? In particular, I'm looking for instructions on how to use the runtime redistribution installer to perform a "side-car installation" of AIR 2 alongside an application that uses the NativeProcess API (and so must be built into a native installer instead of a .air file).
Thanks!

Thirded!
On a test deployment using SCCM and the supplied Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files, we have managed to install our application with the 1.5.3 Air Framework with no major issues other than having to disable the Auto Update feature that doesnt really work in a corporate environment.  Everything was absolutely fine until the release of AIR 2.  Now, the test machines are prompted to install the updated Adobe Air 2 framework once a week, see an excerpt from an Adobe blog post below:
"In addition, once a week AIR apps check to see if an AIR update is available, and if so, users are presented with the option to update to the most up‐to‐date version, helping to ensure that end users get the benefits of improved security and performance."
That sounds great right?  Except my users (like many other corporate users) don't have Admin permissions on their machines (hence the use of SCCM), with the result being resultant error messages when a user attemptes to install the AIR framework update without the necessary permissions.
All of the above would be fine if the Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files were updated to include the latest version of the runtime.  This of course hasn't been done yet - does anyone know when this may happen?  Can anyone help me with this or offer any advice?
I hope the above makes sense and I would really appreciate any help or advice!
Thanks!

  • Can I redistribute the Adobe AIR Runtime as part of a native installer or with my product's installer?

    Hi to All,
    Can I redistribute the Adobe AIR Runtime as part of a my
    product’s installer? So that if users don't have Adobe Air
    runtime installed then the Adobe Air runtime should be installed
    first and then simultaneously my adobe air application should be
    installed on single click, removing the difficulty of downloading
    each installer seperately.
    So is there any way so that I can package both Adobe Air
    runtime and my application into a single installer file.
    Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!.
    Thanks in Advance...

    You need to apply for it. See the details on how to do this

  • Packaging an AIR application in a native installer

    Hi! I'm trying to create a native installer of my AIR Application,  because (I think) it's the only way make the native processes working.  But I have a problem: I used the following command to pack: "adt  -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx -target native  -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp-app.xml", but I get  the error: "File myApp-app.xml is not a valid AIRI or AIR file". In the  Flash Builder I use as additional compiler arguments:  "-locale=pt_PT,en_UK,fr_FR,de_DE,ro_RO,es_ES  -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=assets" and I add the  source path "src/locale/{locale}/". What is the sintax for packing my  AIR application in a native installer? Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe AIR runtime update dialog breaks application

    I'm working on a large project that utilizes a C++ application to house the core logic and an AIR application to display a UI. The C++ program launches the AIR UI and passes it several command line parameters, including locale and port number to call back to the C++ application with.  Under normal circumstances, this works great.
    However, when there's an Adobe AIR runtime update, things go bad.  The runtime intercepts the UI invocation, kills it, and displays the generic AIR "do you want to update?" dialog.  Whether the user presses update or cancel, the UI application eventually gets relaunched -- but without the command line parameters originally passed to it!  I presume this is a bug in the Adobe AIR runtime updater code.
    The end result of this is that the UI gets relaunched, but doesn't know how to localize itself or what port to call back to the C++ application with!  If the user relaunches, it works fine (because the update dialog won't intercept again), but by then the user experience has already been mangled.  We can't even display a localized error message to tell them to relaunch because we don't know what locale they're using any more, and we can't call back to the C++ application to ask.
    I'm trying to find solutions/workarounds to this issue.  Because AIR won't let us turn off the update check on a per-application basis, it seems like the only viable solution would be to turn off the runtime update check for the whole machine.  But altering machines settings for the benefit of one application is definitely bad form, and I'd prefer not to do that if any other viable workaround exist.
    Any ideas?

    I filed a bug report last night using that same form.
    The duplication steps are straightforward.  I can duplicate the following with 100% success on a freshly imaged Win 7 32-bit box, admin user account:
    1) Install older version of Adobe AIR framework (I tried both 1.1 and 1.5.1).  It will ask you to update.  Click "Update later".
    2) Pull up task manager and watch the process list
    3) Run ANY Adobe AIR app with some parameters (I used Adobe's Settings Manager as a sample because it's small)
    4) Note that your application appears in the task manager briefly
    5) Your app is terminated and "Adobe Air Installer.exe" appears in the task manager.  A dialog pops up asking you to update.
    6) Click cancel
    7) Your app is reinvoked without any parameters
    As for my specific case, by "session" I do mean a single launch.
    I'm not aware of an evoke event -- perhaps you meant invoke event?  The invoke event is not executing before the app terminates (in step 5 above).  I think the AIR app is just running long enough to load the runtime and then the runtime takes over from there.
    Thanks...

  • Numerous problems with the Adobe AIR runtime for Android

    I created a app on the platform Adobe AIR for Android, which requires for AIR. The app is very popular in the Android Market, but many users complain of problems with the installation of Adobe Air runtime.
    For example these phones users: LGE LG-P698, LG Pecan, HTC Wildfire. But judging by the fact that users have access to the installation of Air, their phones are compatible with it.
    Tell me how do I solve the problem?
    In addition, I have a few questions:
    1. Decides whether the problem of export application with embedded AIR runtime?
    2. I build my apps with the help of ADT. How in this case to make embeding AIR runtime?
    3. Is it possible to prompt the user to download and install older versions of AIR? Where to find its?
    I hope to help, because the problem is global.

    Hi Astraport,

  • Adobe Air runtime auto-update

    Adobe Air runtime auto-updates itself without any notification or request on my Mac OSX 10.6.7 machine. I do not like this behavior. Is there any way to change it?

    Please see our Disable automatic updates of the runtime document.  However, please be aware that our updates include both new functionality and bug and security fixes.  I'd definitely recommend keeping an eye out for future releases and manually installing if you disable the updates.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe AIR Error - Uninstalling and Re-installing does not work?

    I keep getting this error everytime I turn n my laptop.  I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe AIR several times and still keep getting this error after it tells me it has been installed successfully.  "This installation of this application is damage.  Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."  What is wrong with this program?  I cannot keep uninstalling and re-installing  this program and it is not installing properly.

    Pat has a great point and asks a good question.  In addition to identifying the AIR application that is causing you problems you may also want to review Troubleshoot AIR installation | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-windows.html.

  • How to read serial number of adobe air runtime / flash plugin

    Hi
    Question:
    Is there a way of extracting a unique serial number (or assembly number) from the air runtime and the flash player.
    Background:
    I asked this question on Experts Exchange and the consensus was that it's not possible. However, I thought I would try here before I gave up.
    I am using flash remoting and I want to pair a user's subscription with a specific flash player or adobe air runtime. The flash application would interrogate the flash player and send it back to a database using remoting. If the serial number was correct then the user would get access. If not they would be rejected. The same would happen with an Air application but the serial number would be pushed instead of pulled.
    Mplord of EE introduced me to the Capabilities class (Flash) and the NativeApplication.nativeApplication class and method (Air). However, it's not really what I was looking for. In c# and vb.NET it's possible to extract the windows serial number from the OS and I'm looking for a similar function in as3.
    If this was possible it would be a fantastic way to protect your content and it would be really easy for Adobe to build this feature in.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
