Adobe Air Silent Distribution

I work for a library in Michigan and I am using Kaspersky Security Center to Distribute Software/Updates for our network. I have a distribution license agreement with Adobe to distribute Air, Flash, Reader, Shockwave Flash. I am able to silently install various apps such as Java, Flash ect. via this Program. I am unable to get Adobe Air to install properly when -silent is added to the command line. I look in the add/remove programs and the program does not show up even though Kaspersky shows there were not errors during the installation process. I install it without the -silent command it hangs as it does not get passed the End User License Agreement. I already have a distribution agreement with Adobe for the library I work at. I was wondering what could be causing it not to install and if anyone knew of any work arounds. I have tried to convert the exe file to an MSI and that has not worked either.
Thanks,
Matt

AIR does not support running applications from a CD-ROM;
that's both a technical and a licensing limitation.
You can redistribute both AIR and your application via
CD-ROM, thus enabling off-line install, if you agree to a
redistribution license. See
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
for details.

  • Uninstall Adobe AIR Silently

    Hello,
    I work  on a project where I need to install and uninstall Adobe AIR silently with command line.
    No problem for the installation but i cannot uninstall it silently. I was try all installer commands line and it doesn't works.
    I have the lastest AIR packages.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same question as fantaribo.
    I want to uninstall the Adobe AIR runtime--NOT an AIR application, just the runtime--via the command line.
    I have tried running the AIR runtime installer with the -uninstall command but that does not work.
    Is there a command-line switch that allows for silent, un-attended install of the AIR runtime as a whole?
    In other words, is there a way to uninstall the runtime without having to go through the Uninstall selection
    on the "Programs and Features" control panel?

  • Adobe AIR Application Distribution

    I have a client that requested me to do them a CD application
    which I am thinking of using Adobe AIR.
    Does the distribution license allow Adobe AIR applications
    made using Flex or Flash be published through CD-roms and for
    downloads? Are there any implications for this?
    Also, does the license allow if say Adobe AIR player is put
    together with the Adobe AIR application into a CD for distribution
    so that if a computer does not have Adobe AIR player to install the
    AIR application, he/she can install the player directly from the CD
    without going to the Internet?

  • Silent Installation Adobe AIR???

    Hi All
    Please let me know how to install Adobe AIR silently? Do we need to pass commandline argument? If yes, how?
    Thanks in Advance.

    To install Adobe AIR silently, you must apply for an Adobe AIR Runtime distribution. More information is available here:

  • Adobe Air installation status issue via silent installation

    I installed adobe air silently, then installed an adobe air applicaiton silently.  Everything works, and I can launch the application.  However, if I use the status check via air.swf file it has the "available but not installed" and it can't retrieve the version of my air application.  Once I double click on "any" .air file, it launches the non-silent installer, and I don't have to even install or update the app, just lanching the iapp nstaller non-silently seemed to correct something.  From then on air.swf statu now returns "installed" and it can read the version of my app.  Can anyone tell me what's going on and how can I correct this?

    Ok, I understand.  So before we continue, we really need to figure out what the exact error is.  Can you, on at least 2 systems, generate the MSI logs we'll need?  Here's a document that explains how to enable logging and where to find the logs once they've been created:
    How to enable Windows logging
    Once you've enabled logging, try installing again.  Grab the newly created msi logs and either post here or email me at [email protected]  I'll examine the logs and see if we can find a common issue between the systems.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Installing reader without Adobe Air

    We would like to distribute Adobe Reader without Adobe Air or
    Adobe.com. The command we use to remotely install Adobe Reader is
    "psexec @c:\tmp\systems.txt -u XXXUSERIDXXX-p XXXPASSWORDXXX
    -c -i \\apps\adobe\9.1.0\AdbeRdr910_en_US_Std.exe /sAll /rs /rps"
    Is there a switch we could use to only install Adobe Reader?

    Hi alouis,
    Sounds like your distributing Flash Player within your org, as such, you'll need to license these products for distribution.  Please see the following links for information on licensing the various products for distribution:
    Adobe - Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement
    Volume distribution | Adobe Reader XI
    Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
    Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution | Adobe

  • AIR Runtime Distribution License

    Should I need to sign the Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution
    License Agreement application with Adobe to distribute only the
    *.air to others. AIR runtime can be downloaded from the Adobe site.
    Should I need to sign the Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution
    License Agreement application with Adobe to distribute a custom
    installer that installs an AIR application? AIR runtime can be
    downloaded from the Adobe site.

    You do not need to sign this license agreement to distribute
    .air files, whether or not you use a customer installer. You only
    need to sign this agreement if you want to distribute AIR itself.

  • How to disable internet access during Adobe AIR installation

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Adobe AIR in an enterprise environment on numerous clients.
    Unfortunately the installation procedure always tries to open an internet connection during installation.
    As all users in our company require proxy authentification for internet access, the authentification dialog of our proxy always shows up when installing Adobe AIR. So the installation can not be processed without any user interaction.
    We would like to install Adobe AIR silently in the backround. So we are looking for an opportunity to disable the internet access during AIR installation.
    Thanks for any help,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    You might want to give the Settings Manager a try (located at the bottom of this page.)  However, I suspect the network might still be pinged regardless of this setting.  Please let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Chown errors from the AIR silent install

    This problem only occurs on the Mac.
    I am trying to run the Adobe AIR silent installer to install
    my application from the command line but while it runs I get:
    "chown: <filename>:Operation not permitted." The
    filename are files from within the app bundle AIR creates during
    installation.
    It also never creates a desktop shortcut (using
    -desktopShortcut) either.
    Any reason why this is happening?

    I have 2 Issues
    One to detected Air and the other run Air installer
    Any suggestion please
    Thanks
    Bassam

    When you install an AIR application (by double-clicking or running the AIR file), if Adobe AIR (the runtime) is installed, then it will check to see it is the version required for your application. If not, it will update itself to the correct version (which it obtains over the web).
    If you wish to distribute Adobe AIR on a CD (to install it if it is missing on a user's machine), you need to apply for the Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution Agreement and be accepted:

    There isn't any way to distribute an HTML/JS AIR application without the HTML/JavaScript source files. Because JavaScript is a run-time interpreted language, the HTML and JavaScript code has to be available at run time. The obvious downside to this is that the source code of your application is available in plain text on the users' hard drive.
    If your main concern is protecting data stored on the server from malicious users, the username/password strategy is probably a good one (and you wouldn't need to implement in using Flash at all -- you could do the same thing in HTML/JS.). What you need to do is:
    Set up your web server so that the user has to be authenticated with the web server in order to get any data or perform any of the calls (from ajax or anywhere else).
    When your app first starts or at some point, have a login form where the user enters their username/password for your serve. When you make the ajax calls to the server pass the username/password along (or use a session cookie, or some other similar technique for maintaining authentication).
    That way, even if an attacker knows the url of your server calls, they can't actually use them unless they have an account with you.
    From a practical standpoint, you should protect your server by requiring authentication in any case. Otherwise your only security defense is the fact that an attacker doesn't know your exact url. But there are ways to learn urls (for example, by monitoring network traffic) that make it so it isn't too hard for someone to discover the urls even without your app's source code.

  • Adobe Air message by silent installing

    For starters, there are a ton of variants of CS4. Be sure to specify which specific one you're trying to install. I can say that I've never seen that message when doing a CS4 silent install of the Design Standard or Premium for Mac.
    For seconders, this is probably a better forum to address silent install issues in:

  • Adobe AIR Distribution including RunTime - Possible?

    Is it possible to include the Adobe AIR Runtime in the installer package so users wont have to worry about having the Runtime installed, already, before they install the app.
    Ideally, an installer that checks if the runtime is there, if not, it installs and then installs the app itself.
    Any examples of any such thing ?

    Try the Shu Packager at http://shu-player.com. It might be the ticket for what you want.
    Sorry to threadjack but does anyone know under what conditions the Shu SA (Stand Alone) Lite can be used?
    We've just finished 6+ months work on an AIR app simultaneous with the blacklisting of the AIR runtime from all machines on the network. However, we are stilled allowed to distribute exe's that are proven to be virus-free so I am thinking our options at this point are something like Shu SA where only our code has access to the AIR runtime OR redoing all our work in .NET...
    Anyone want to weigh in the "custom" licensing option mentioned on the Shu website?

  • Adobe air distribution problem. (AJax / html)

    Hi guys,
    I have written a sample application in javascript (ajax) and xhtml and successfully published with adobe air. The system works fine but my question is when i distribute the application (.air) I had to include all my javascript , images, xhtml. I dont have any problem in sending the images with .air package but sending javascript files is imposible that is be because, since im using ajax to show all the details I have to use full URL for all my ajax calls.
    so someone who knows about abobe air can use those same URL`s and create their own air application and steal my details from my server. (adobe air allow cross scripting)
    As a solution I have seen many applications (ex: ebay desktop) uses flash logins and check the login using flash and redirect user to a seperate page if the login is successful. so in this case i only need to package my .swf file since redirection will handdle from the flash end.
    Im not a flash developer so I wont be able to create the whole application using flash. thats why im looking for a javascript / html solution to overcome this problem.
    so my questions are,
    1. Is there any way i can publish my .air application without packaging js files?
    2. Is there is a posibility which i can use a flash login and if the login success open up a new window with the actual application and close the login window? and while logging off viseversa
    I hope you guys undestand my questions and any help highly appreciate it.
    Thanks in advanced,
    Best regards,
