Air application installer doesn't always work when Adobe air is already installed

Hi,
I've recieved an adobe air application from another developer. I placed it a web site and tested it. It worked so I considered it complete. However it turns out that it only worked because I didn't have Adobe Air installed.
I've found that there is someone with Adobe Air (same version as me) already intalled from another source and when they click application install button absolutely nothing happens. No error or anything.
However I can revisit the page and click it and it works every time even with adobe air already installed. So I suspect it has something to do with how they've installed it.
Has anyone ever run into this issue and do you know what could be causing it? It is because something is wrong with their installer which leaves it not knowing what to do with an air extension and the whole thing just fails silently?

Hi,
Would it be possible to get the URL to the page that has your AIR badge installer (or the html if it's not publicly viewable)? We'll probably also need further info on the system that's failing, if possible could you post the installer log and check to see if the following file exists:
Win 7:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\airappinstaller\airappinstaller.exe
Mac
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/airappinstaller/airappinstaller
Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if necessary.
Thanks,
Chris

[ubuntu 64bit 9.04] AIR Application Installer Doesn't Work

Hello,
On Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) 64bit, I have installer the Adobe AIR system as follows:
1) Downloaded Adobe AIR from: http://get.adobe.com/air
2) sudo chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
3) sudo apt-get install -y ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386 lib32nss-mdns libcanberra-gtk-module
4) sudo wget http://taurinocerveza.com/scripts/getlibs-all.deb
5) sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb
6) sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
7) dpkg -l | grep adobeair
ii adobeair1.0 1.5.1.8210 Adobe AIR
8) Reboot Ubuntu (just for 'fun')
9) From Applications > Acessories --> Selecting "Adobe AIR Application Installer" does nothing ... not even a blip.
10) .airappinstall.log is a zero-length file (did a 'touch ~/.airappinstall.log')
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
Here is what happens when I try to invoke the Application Installer from the command line:
$ "Adobe AIR Application Installer"
Error loading the runtime (libadobecertstore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Thanks!

TTL specified in put operation doesn't always work when using write-behind

I'm using a distributed cache with a write-behind cache store (see the config below). I found that when I do something like myCache.put(key, value, ttl), the entry survives the specified ttl. I tried doing the same with a distributed cache with a write-through cachestore and there everything does happen correctly.
Is this sort of operation not permitted in caches containing a write-behind cachestore? If not wouldn't it be better to throw an UnsupportedOperationException.
I created a small test to simulate this. I added values to the cache with a TTL of 1 to 10 seconds and found that the 10 second entries stayed in the cache.

Hi, still no luck. However, I noticed that setting the write-delay value of the write-behind store to 0s or 1s, solved the problem. It only starts to given me "the node has already been removed" excpetions once the write-delay value is 2s or higher.

On my new Lenovo Yoga 3 PC laptop I am trying to install Kayak and Pandora apps but once these apps are downloaded, whenever I try to open them, an error message pops up saying: ADOBE FLASH REQUIRED. The Kayak (or Pandora) app requires Adobe Flash. Installation is free. "Install" or "Not Now".
I have installed Adobe Flash 10 times and rebooted etc. but I still cannot use those apps because of this error message.
This is driving me crazy.
I have checked to confirm that the newest version of Adobe Flash IS installed and working on my computer.
What can I do?????
Thank you.

Typically when software applications are using an embedded browser window that wants Flash, they're looking for the ActiveX version used in Internet Explorer. If you've been installing Flash Player for Firefox, that's not going to help.
Fire up Internet Explorer, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and follow the prompts. This should resolve the issue for you.
If you're already using Internet Explorer on a Windows 8 or higher machine, then Flash Player is already a built-in component of IE. The problems you're running into may be specific to the intersection of those websites and Internet Explorer 11. (IE11 makes a bunch of changes to how the browser is identified, which may ultimately cause the sites to fail to detect Flash.) In that instance, the easiest workaround is probably to just use Google Chrome - http://www.google.com/chrome/ while we wait for the world to adjust to Internet Explorer's new approach.

Custom AIR application installer

Hello,
I have one question about air application installation process.
Is there any way to build a custom air application installer?
How it works now:
First I've made air project, and when I start installation process (over badge swf file on the web site), I've going through next steps:
- On the first step I can to open or save installation .air file.
- After I click on the "open" button, I've getting the info about publisher and application, and I have "install" and "cancel" buttons.
- After I click on the "install" button, I've getting more options, about desktop shortcut icon, installation location, and I have "contionue" and "cancel" buttons.
- After I click on the "continue" button, the installation process begins.
Is there any way to put some steps out from the air installation process. For example, to put out the third step?
The best for us would be, if is possible, to integrate all questions in only one Accept or Cancel, make the most simple for user to install. Do you have advice how to do it?
Thank you

Not using a web install badge. What I have done in some cases is a first-run configuration setup UI as part of the app itself.
You can create a custom native installer (not in AIR) for AIR apps using the captive runtime:

Close All Open Apps...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

On a 5s how do you make the light turn off when phone rings or when you receive text, at work I would like to shut that off. Also seems like vibrate doesn't always work?

On a 5s how do you make the light turn off when phone rings or when you receive text, at work I would like to shut that off. Also seems like vibrate doesn't always work? I had a 4s and didn't have these issues

Thank you, I did find that. Still my phone does not always vibrate when ringer is off for texts and calls, only sometimes?

My track pad on my air doesn't always respond when using firefox and trying to scroll up or down in the page

when in firefox my track pad doesn't always respond when I want to use fingers to scroll up or down in the screen...any thoughts?

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps

Need better alternative to Adobe AIR Application Installer

In order to build a double-clickable desktop application,
apparently one has to use the Adobe AIR Application Installer. This
is bad for a few reasons:
It's not scriptable.
It hard-wires the name of the swf file to load into the
generated binary.
For Mac OS X, the "swf launcher" should be a simple "launcher
stub". The name of the swf file to load should be read from the
Info.plist file. If it did this, then the stub could be the same
for all applications. For Windows, there could be a simple XML
config file in the same directory as the app that serves the same
purpose as Info.plist on the Mac.
I hope Adobe addresses this soon.

How about creating your native launcher app with the whole

launches your server executable, then after its done its stuff it
launches the AIR app.
You could make the launcher app itself headless so you don't
get two dock icons.
This doesn't address the need to have a non-GUI alternative to
the Air Application Installer so builds can be completely
automated.
It definitely breaks the drag-and-drop of a file onto the
application's icon.
I never said I have 2 Dock icons. (I already solved that
problem by making the server "faceless" by setting LSUIElement to 1
in the server's Info.plist.)
Why do I want completely automated builds? Aside from the
ease of just being able to type "ant" and press Return, any real
development group has things such that a "build machine"
automatically rebuilds the app (on all platforms) after ever
developer check-in to check for accidental build breakage. Those
builds also become available to QA for them to test.
Ever time some new development tool comes out where the
authors provide a GUI tool (presumably because they think GUI =
easy), I have to wonder, "What were they thinking?" If the authors
are themselves developers, how can they not see how crippling not
providing an all-command-line tool-chain is? Don't all non-trivial
development groups do automated builds as described above? The only
answer I can think of is that some
PHB
somewhere thought it would be a "neat idea" to have an
"easy-to-use" GUI application (because that sells to other PHBs).
As to drag-and-drop: presumably, the swf launcher that gets
generated properly handles drag-and-drop of files onto the
application's icon and Does The Right Thing when it happens (where
"right thing" usually means simply opening the document dropped
onto the icon). Now, since my launcher gets launched instead, that
breaks drag-and-drop unless I implement that functionality myself.
The way I've implemented my launcher is such that, after the
fork(), it's the parent process that exec's itself into the client
thus keeping the original process ID. The hope is that Launch
Services on the Mac, when handling and drag-and-drop event, will
send said event to the original process -- which is now the client
-- and everything Just Works. I have yet to get around to testing
this (I'm busy with other things at the moment); but, if it turns
out that my hope isn't fulfilled, well then I can fall back to
keeping my launcher running to get and forward the OpenDoc
AppleEvents from my launcher to the swf launcher.
So, anyway, back to my original plea: Adobe,
please just give us a command-line replacement for the Air
Application Installer (preferably just a launcher stub that reads
Info.plist). Thanks.

AIR Application installs successfully but no GUI appears on startup

I have an AIR application that was exported to Release Build as a Native Installer (*.exe as I am using Windows). I install the application on a Windows box with no error. See log file below :

Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe

On my win xp pro sp3 machine from all the Adobe stuff
following software installed only:
- acrobat reader
- flash player
- shockwave player
The Secunia scan tool noticed me recently I had old version
of flash player.
It is not right, some days ago just upgraded to 9.0.151.0.
Why I am using the 9.x one see my other thread in the adobe
flash player forum.
In-depth analysis has shown that the old one is really
present on my station:
Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe is present on this
machine and it keeps the old and
vulnerable version of adobe flash player.
What for ???????
I didn't ever install the air application installer on my
own.
It must be one of other three applications I'm using
intentionally.
What of the three application named above has installed AIR ?
And what for ?
Why is nobody upgrading the vulnerable flash version attached
to AIR ?
How can I deinstall it ?

You can uninstall AIR by using the uninstall program control

AIR doesn't figure on the Add/Remove Programs list.

Adobe Air Application Installer.exe Documentation

Hello All,
i am having severe problems retrieving the documentation for "Adobe Air Application Installer.exe"
We have applied as Publisher for Air Apps here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
and filled out the form
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=air_distribution2
After that we were hoping to receive documentation about seamless install of air applications, but we are waiting right now ...
So, time is running out, and i need the documentation of the "Adobe Air App Installer.exe"
So far i have managed to silently install an air app:
'$1 -silent -programMenu -location "$INSTDIR" "$TEMP\AirApp.air"' $0
Where $1 is the "Adobe Air Installer.exe" retrieved from the registry
$INSTDIR is the installation target path
$TEMP is a temporary folder, containing the to install Air Application
the above command works fine for clean and empty systems with no prior versions of the application installed.
what i now miss are the return code meanings, ranging from 0..9 where i only know that 0 means success !
And i would like to have a documentation about the
-update
and the
-uninstall
parameters for seamless installation/deinstallation of a whole air app with data

hi there,
i got the documentation also, dunno why they make it so hard
to get it
thank you very much !
greets from joymoney

ITunes 10.4.1 Problem with Key Command Go to Current Song - Doesn't always work

Since updating to iTunes 10.4.1, I've noticed that the key command, command + L doesn't always work to display the current song.

I have this problem in iTunes 10.7 (21). The "Go to Current Song" option exists in the Controls menu, but even when audio is playing it is disabled.

Adobe Air Application Installer on Utilities Folder

I just got my first mac early this year so I still haven't gotten the hang of the Mac OS. Anyway, I installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 a few days back but I uninstalled it a few days after. I noticed when I opened my utilities folder I saw the following:
Adobe Air Applications Installer
Adobe Air Uninstaller
Adobe Installer Folder
Adobe Utilites Folder
I can't remember if the files were there even before I installed the Adobe Photoshop CS4 program. Is it safe for me to remove these files? If it is, how do I remove them? Thanks!

theoc3 wrote:
I clicked the Adobe Air Uninstaller icon in my utilities folder and a pop up box appeared with the message:
"Adobe AIR already installed. This version of Adobe AIR is already installed on your system"
Figures
Just move them to desktop, restart and see if you get any alerts.
Also check in System Preferences for Version Cue and if you have it, turn it off.
