Air application cannot be installed after 2017

Hi all,
i had a problem a few months ago, developing an air
application using the beta air runtime, because the runtime stopped
working after a certain amount of time and the application could
not be installed.
Now i have installed version 1.1 of the runtime and have
rebuilt the application using a self signed key and added a
timestamp to it. Having the previous incident of the application
that could not be installed i decided to put the computer clock in
the future and check if the application would be installed using
1.1. runtime.
Well..., It does not after the 30th of October 2017. The same
thing occurs with other applications as well. e.g. The adobe media
player application.
Is this normal?
The application install log mentions an error : "Invalid
package signature" errorid=5022.

It might be due to the Root Certificate expires by 2017.
This is normal.

    I need help with an error I am receiving. I'm on a Mac with OS X Mavericks. I just attempted to install the Photoshop Elements trial and, in attempting to open the "Install Adobe Download Assistant", I received this error:
    "Sorry, an error has occurred.

    I did attempt to download a new copy of the installer, with the same result.

    you can download directly:
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • Is it possible to install multiple AIR applications from single install?

    I've been asked to find a way to install multiple air applications in one install. Is this possible, or am I going to have to use a 3rd party tool like InstallShield?

    I guess it's possible to create a meta-installer, which fires up the individual installers using the command line. It's not the ideal way to do this, but it might work.
    Sample code to use the command line from within Flex:
    <fx:Script>
    if(NativeProcess.isSupported)
        var file:File = File.desktopDirectory;
        file = file.resolvePath("secondAirProgram.air");
        var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
        nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
        var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
        process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
    </fx:Script>

  • I keep receiving this error: "the application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem" when trying to update program that use adobe AIR (vudu-to-go)

    Can anyone tell me how I can get around this error? I've tried reinstalling adobe air and reinstalling the programs but neither works.

    This issue happens when an older version of Adobe Story is already installed on a system.
    To resolve this issue you will have to first remove that version and then install the latest one.
    Now depending upon which system you are using, below are the steps:
    MAC:
    Open 'Applications' folder in Finder.
    Move 'Adobe Story' application to Trash and remove it from Trash too.
    Just to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive, do a search for 'Adobe Story' in spotlight. If it is present on a different location, then remove it from there too.
    Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it.
    WINDOWS:
    Open Controls Panel and uninstall Adobe Story application
    Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it

  • Adobe AIR Application won't install

    Also, tried reinistalling latest version of Adobe AIR but a message appears saying that the latest version of Adobe AIR is already installed, even though I thought I had unistalled it with the help of Microsoft Fix it (i.e. it no longer appeared in the least of programs installed on the computer).
    I am using a Samsung laptop with Windows 7.
    Following my latest attempt to install the application, I located the Adobe AIR log:

    Please note that I managed to resolve this myself by first of all deleting the Adobe AIR folder contained within C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files of my hard drive and then re-attempting the Adobe Air application installation. This immediately caused a prompting of an update to Adobe AIR, which I ran. It  seems that the Adobe AIR application installation package contained an older version of Adobe AIR than was already installed within the 'Common Files' folder, and this apparently led to the error (sorry, I cannot explain it any more technical terms than that!).

  • 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,

    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)

  • AIR Applications fail to install (Acer Aspire One, Linux)

    I've successfully installed the latest version of AIR for Linux on my Aspire One, although it took a few attempts.
    I am, however, not succeeding in installing any apps.
    1. My system believes that .air files are actually ZIP files and offers to unpack them: there seems to be nothing I can point them at to be opened by AIR itself.AIR does not appear in any menus, app lists etc
    2. If I go to a site that offers a "badge" install, the install system correctly recognises that AIR 1.5 is installed (checked box in the installer) and doesn't try to install it again. However, the apps do not install successfully - all fail with an Error #2004 and ask me to try again, which always fails.
    I can't seem to find any information whatsoever on this anywhere and I'm a bit surprised. It is surely not impossible to achieve, and I equally don't believe nobody else has had any trouble.
    Suggestions anyone?
    Thanks!

    Right! "rpmbuild" was the answer to installing AIR successfully on this machine.
    Assuming that you have somewhat unlocked the machine as described in http://macles.blogspot.com/ and elsewhere, this simplest way of getting rpmbuild installed is to open a terminal and, as root, do "yum install rpm-build" - note the hyphen in the package name. If you aren't subscribed to a suitable repository, you can find it pretty easily with a Google for "fedora8 rpm-build".
    With rpm-build in place, AIR installed successfully using "./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin".
    ".air" applications are now correctly identified as belonging to AIR and badge installs also work.
    My intention in doing all this was to get a suitable Twitter etc app running on the machine, so I first tried the current version of Seesmic Desktop. It opened normally and allowed me to enter account details… and lo! it downloaded tweets! Unfortunately I never managed to get it to do that again. A bunch of small authorisation windows opened up, one for each installed account, requiring confirmation of password, and I couldn't enter anything in the field with the main window open. Minimising the main window I could now enter passwords, and OK dismissed the window, but it didn't seem to do any good. I have not seen a tweet since and all the panels in the main window are empty. A pity.
    My other favourite Twitter app is Tweetdeck - in fact I think it's superior to Seesmic Desktop if you just run a single Twitter account. Here the main window opens somewhat off-screen and blank (black) with control buttons at the top. Unfortunately although the buttons reveal their tooltips on mouseover, you can't actually access any of them, notably the account setup button. Thus the app is not usable.
    Third attempt was Twhirl, also from Seesmic (http://www.twhirl.org/). The version I had previously downloaded, 0.8.6, opened an account setup window but when you entered a password it just sat there. Luckily behind it was a window offering an update. Updating the package installed 0.9.2. This time the account window allowed the entering of an account name and password and duly displayed a window of tweets! And I was also able to write and send tweets successfully. Success! You can enter details for multiple accounts, and each has its own resizable window that contains messages pertaining to the account. Not as useful for me as Tweetdeck or Seesmic Desktop, but entirely usable (Desktop is actually a bit big for this machine's display anyway). However closing and reopening Twhirl I discovered that the application is not remembering passwords even when you tell it to - though it does remember the account names. Although I would like a fully-functioning app (and preferably one or both of the other two) this will do for the time being.
    I notice that issues regarding passwords and authorisation are the common factors in these misbehaviours: if anyone can shed any light on this, please let me know.
    Thanks to GauravKhurana for the key to solving this issue and the support in discovering it.
