Can .air file be installed via command line?

Hello
First off - I know next to nothing about adobe air
I'm trying to help a situation created by a developer who was terminated
A video application was developed for us - its name is createVideo.air
My understanding is we have to 'install' this app, by executing the .air file one time
My question is:
Is it possible to execute a .air file from a command line?
My server is a LAMP environment running CentOS
abodeair2.0.2 is installed
Any links, directions or suggestions is appreciated
Thank you for your time and attention
Benn

Hi Benn,
You can do this using the Adobe AIR Application Installer.  Please check out the command line arguments in our Silent Installation instructions.  This document also covers installation of the Runtime and has links to the redistribution agreement if needed.
Thanks,
Chris

  • Can you execute a class file without invoking the command line java command

    I am running java on a Windows XP equipped machine, and I am wondering if it is possible to execute a class file by double clicking the file icon, or can it only be done via command line. So far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts - I tried associating the class file with the java executable in my JRE directory, but that didn't work.
    Many thanks,
    -Stile

    nope, can't be done, by design... microsoft recognised java as threat to the empire very early on in the peace.... but you can write a batch file to execute myprogram.class called myprogram.bat and stick it in your PATH.

  • Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

    Hello,
    I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
    I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10  (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
    In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
    "CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
    ie
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
    but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
    edit:
    Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
    Thank you.
    Message was edited by: v604

    Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
    Hope this helps.

  • Setting IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file

    I am currently in need of a way to set IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file.  More specifically the 'Bytes Sent (sc-bytes)' and 'Bytes Received (cs-bytes)' settings that are not enabled by default. 
    If anyone knows where I can locate these setting (outside of the GUI) for all IIS versions that would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe I have found a valid solution. You must have the WebAdministration module loaded.  I hope this helps someone.
    Use the following syntax to view current W3C fields:
    Get-WebConfiguration -filter system.applicationhost/sites/sitedefaults/logfile | select-object -expandProperty logExtFileFlags
    Use the following syntax to set W3C fields:
    Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter System.Applicationhost/Sites/SiteDefaults/logfile -Name LogExtFileFlags -Value "Date,Time,ClientIP,UserName,SiteName,ComputerName,ServerIP,Method,UriStem,UriQuery,HttpStatus,Win32Status,BytesSent,BytesRecv,TimeTaken,ServerPort,UserAgent,Cookie,Referer,ProtocolVersion,Host,HttpSubStatus"}

  • Installing Rosetta via command line?

    Is it possible to install Rosetta via the command line? I have a mac that I have ssh and administrative access to and need to install rosetta to run an application. I know that Rosetta can be installed over the internet when using the GUI interface to the OS, but can this be done using the command line?
    Thanks!
    -jmj75

    I think what you are asking is not possible. If you did not install Rosetta you have two options, download from the web usually initiated by a program that needs it to run, or from your original install DVD --> Optional Installs package.

  • Error -402 upon installing an extension via Command Line

    When I try to install my extension via command line, i receive the following error message:
    "Failed to install, status = -402!"
    What does this error code -402 mean?
    I found someone with a similar problem in the forums: Re: Extension Manager CC failed to install extension
    He/She had file names containing non-ASCII characters. But i couldn't find any non-ASCII characters in my project or extension.
    Thanks in advance,

    unfortunately unchecking the option did not work. This is what I found in the logs:

  • Access via command line to the data files for Address Book

    Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8
    Mac Mini 2.66 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
    I rolled back from Mountain Lion Server to Snow Leopard Server because I needed mySql. At the time I was under AppleCare and they walked me through the steps. However, I ended up with Address Book issues.
    Addressbook user on the Snow Leopard Server was upgraded to Mountain Lion Server. During the rollback process, the Apple tech had me delete the Addressbook user.
    When we finished the rollback, he had me recreate the Addressbook user, but now it is linked to a new, empty data file. I cannot add new contacts nor edit or delete them. So I need to use the command line to view both data store files, find the one that has my data in it and re-attach it to my new Addressbook user.
    Can someone help me with the Command Line commands?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    There are a couple of more advanced solution I can think of and I'm actually working on one myself.
    * You can create your own jnlp client that allows you to pass in arguments. That sounds harder than it easy. Building a stripped down jnlp client (e.g. no installer, no applets) using one of the two open-source client as a start takes probably just a couple of days and should be sufficient for in house usage.
    * Another solution is what I'm working on now. You can wrap your own executable around javaws that takes your passed in arguments plus jnlp href and looks up the original in the cache and adds a new one to the cache that it passes on to javaws and suddenly everything works as it should. The magic will be revealed at http://www.geocities.com/vamp201

  • File Ownership via Command Line

    Hello - oh my I went and did a stupid thing. I renamed my home folder and restarted which logged me as a brand new user. I can see my previous folder in the Users folder with all of it's files and everything is there - but I can't access it through the log-in pane.
    I have been told by more than a couple of mac stores that it will require 5-7 days to fix... however I googled it and found one specific document on what to do at the command level to fix this. I need assistance from anyone who knows the right syntax in which to do this. I have started by making a backup of all the original home files I want to keep. This is what I found on-line...
    "Changing File Ownership: chown
    The chown command is used to change the ownership of files. Only the root user can execute the chown command. The simplest form, and the one in which you'll end up using it the most frequently, is chown <username> <filename> , which changes the ownership property of <filename> to belong to the user <username> . The command can optionally be given as chown <username> : <groupname> <filename> to change the user and group at the same time. Additionally, -R can be specified after the command to cause a recursive change in an entire directory, instead of to a single file. The command documentation table is shown in Table 24.1"
    Can someone show me how the command line should look as I proceed with this?
    Thank you very much.

    Actually, I was thinking about being even more cautious (being there, done that, ain't pleasant).
    Let me make sure I understand where you are:
    1/ you have only one login, it's your new name, but the Home associated with it is empty (has all the "regular" folders that come with the creation of a new account)
    2/ your old account cannot be accessed upon login but you "ex" home is still there and you have access to it
    If that's right, then do 2 things
    1/ create a new admin account. Call it whatever you want. In case of anything, you'll still have one with admin privileges. You may want to keep it for the future. It's always a good idea to have such an account, never used but for troubleshooting, where the Preferences are pristine.
    2/ start copying (not moving) what you had in your old home into your new one (you wanted that new name anyway, right?), making sure that the privileges are indeed associated with your new name. That should work as you are doing the copying from your new account.
    When you are all done and have made sure that everything works, then you'll be able to delete the old folder. Or you may want to keep it around for a while.
    If you have too much stuff to copy (movies, etc...), then let me know. Having the "third" account (the one I mentioned in 1) may help you. You could log in with that one, and change the names back of your homes (old and new). You would have to check what you have under Syst Pref/Accounts

  • Assessing Command 'Analyze Source Files' via Command Line when running TestSTand Deployment Utility

    Our Software Configuration Manager is running the TestStand Command Line Deployment Build Tool (Ref: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38947).
            When he builds the application,  the code will not be at the same location it was in development. 
    If you are Manually running the TestStand Deployment Utility, This is not a problem because everything is relative in the workspace.   Simply go to the Distributed Files Tab (of TestSTand Deployment Utility) and hit the, "Analyze Source Files" button.  This finds the required files and apparently creates an updated hard path to be used during the build (probably in the *.tsd).
    PROBLEM:  We auto-run the Command Line Deployment Build Tool (Command Line), and we do not have access to the, 'Analyze Source Files' command.
                As a result, our build consist of many warnings and the output is missing many files (the location of the files have not been updated).
    If we could access the 'Analyze Source Files' Command via command line, that would fix the issue. 
    FYI:  We use an automatic builder called Quick Build as our builder.

    Unfortunately it looks like Analyze Source Files does not have a command equivalent for the command line based on this article and attached PDF:
    https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38947
    That may be a good post for the TestStand Idea Exchange for consideration in future versions of TestStand.

  • I can not uninstall Office 2013 from command line

    Hi, I have been stuck for a while trying to uninstall Office 2013 via command line. Installation file was downloaded from Volume Licensing Service Center, Uninstall.xml file for silent uninstallation looks like this:
    <Configuration Product=”ProPlus”>
    <Display Level=”basic” CompletionNotice=”yes” SuppressModal=”yes” AcceptEula=”yes” />
    </Configuration>
    From command line the following will not work:
    setup /uninstall ProPlus /config .\ProPlus.ww\Uninstall.xml
    Error: Setup can not find or validate an installation file. Please try reinstalling Office . . .
    setup /uninstall ProPlus gives me GUI to continue process - it seems /config .\ProPlus.ww\Uninstall.xml part does not work as it should be
    This is very important to me since I used above command line in SCCM 2012 R2 to allow user to uninstall Office 2013 by itself via Software Center. When this failed I tried locally but the error was the same. This should have been trivial task - silent uninstallation
    using .xml file. It is not a rocket science. I am very angry because losing time for something like this is unacceptable for system engineers working with SCCM 2012 R2.

    Hi,
    This error might occurs due to lots of reasons. Where is the installation file stored? If it's stored on a network share, please copy it to your local disk, and then manually run the command again. This way, we'll see if the installation file is the
    problem.
    If issue persists in this case, then this generally means that something wrong with the installation file. Please try to redownload it and then try again.
    Please also make sure that you're executing the command with elevated privileges (run as administrator).

  • [SOLVED] How to Crop an MP4 Video via Command-line?

    I have ffmpeg, mpg123, and mencoder. Does anyone know of a way I could use any of those to crop an mp4 video via command-line? I am trying to take off the black space above and below a video. Thanks in advance!

    I don't think it's possible to crop without re-encoding, but you can crop from the command line with ffmpeg and mencoder. Not sure about mpg123 - I think that's for playing audio but I could be wrong there.
    Anyway, with ffmpeg you can do cropping by using -croptop, -cropbottom, -cropleft, and -cropright. So if you wanted to crop 16 pixels off of the top and the bottom, your command line would look something like this:
    ffmpeg -i <input file> -croptop 16 -cropbottom 16 <video encoding options> <audio encoding options> <output file>
    With mencoder you use the "crop" video filter, like this:
    mencoder <input file> -o <output file> -vf crop=320:208:0:16 <other options>
    where the "320:208:0:16" means that the resulting picture is 320 pixels wide, 208 pixels high, and the 0:16 is the x,y position of the cropped area.
    These command lines are just really very basic examples - ffmpeg and mencoder have a LOT of options. Way too many to explain here. If you don't believe me, just try reading through the mencoder man page sometime. (There's an online version of it at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html)
    Hope this helps!!
