Can developers distribute the Adobe AIR installer with their desktop applications?

Yes. In addition to creating and distributing cross-platform Adobe AIR application installer files, it is possible for developers to write their own custom native installers that install Adobe AIR and the Adobe AIR application.
In order to do this, developers must first apply for and receive a free http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.

I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review. In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.
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

I cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X.

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and every time I try to install Air Adobe 3 I get the message
"You cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X."
Could anyone help me?

Hi,
Adobe won't be developing for 10.5.8 new features (including new runtime) only security relates updates for existing runtimes (Flash 10.3.*/Air 2.7.*). Flash 11/Air 3.0 are only supported on 10.6.8.*/10.7.*, see:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91694.html#main_system_requirements
There is recent, lengthy thread on forums with Adobe's employees statements on that subject (support/development for 10.5.* and newer) but I cannot find it quickly as basically forum search is broken/hard to do,
regards,
Peter

No, it only works with the MBair and the Mac Mini.

Can you wrap a Muse export in Adobe Air to make a desktop application?

Hello,
I was just wondering if it is possible to wrap a Muse HTML folder (whole export) in Adobe Air to make a desktop application? I have managed to wrap the business catalyst URL that Muse gives you temporarily and made a desktop application. As this is temporary is it possible to wrap the entire project (HTML)?
I'm very new to this so i hope this all makes sense.
Thanks in advance,
SPolly

You are not wasting your time. It can be done...
In order to wrap C++ for use by C, you must write wrapper functions declared with 'extern "C"' linkage for every C++ method you intend to call directly from C. This must be done using a C++ compiler. Once linked into a new library, any C exectuable or C library should be able to link this new library and call the wrapper functions you have declared 'extern "C"'.
If you still need more help, I would advise you to post in a C++ language forum perhaps. Best of luck, not that you should need it though... -Ralph

Hi,
Can you please try the following?
- First do a fresh install of Adobe AIR. You can get the latest one from https://get.adobe.com/air
- Download the Adobe Story installer file directly from this url: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air
- Double click on the downloaded file to install it.
If this still fails, please mail us the logs at DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com

Where can I get the Adobe AIR extension for Dreamweaver CS5.5 ??

I am either going insane or all the links I can find are broken.
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools/ajax/ redirects to http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air.html, which has no apparent download link.
Any help most welcome.

I have been looking for the past couple of weeks. Some dweeb at adobe decided to redirect all URLs that had "air" in them to the stupid dev site that of course has no information on it about dreamweaver (except to buy it). It would be logical to put something big on the right side that says "if you got here to download the adobe air extension for dreamweaver it has been moved to here..... I guess nobody is monitoring the thousands of redirects from the air/tools/ajax and might say.. hey I should fix that.....

Can pictures on the web be saved with their original filenames? Thanx.

Greetings.
Just wanted to know if its possible to save pictures on the web with their ORIGINAL FILENAME while saving to the iPad.
Thanx for your advice.

What you see in Lightroom - are just previews, that were built before dropping your Passport. All you have are JPEG-compressed previews, your original RAWs died with your external HDD. You can get those previews from Lightroom's preview cache using a tool like LRViewer.
I don't think you can create a web gallery from withing Lightroom. Lightroom will need to have the original master files in order to build a gallery. That's even if you have high quality previews prebuilt. So, again, if you extract the previews with LRViewer, save them as JPEG files and import into a Lightroom catalog instead of your DNGs - you will be able to upload a web gallery.

Can I use the macbook air superdrive with my non server mac mini?

I recently removed the optical super drive from my early 2009 mac mini to switch to a 2 HD setup. I have an opportunity to get a macbook air superdrive (external) for a really good deal, but I am unsure whether or not it will work. The specs say that it will work with a min that has no optical drive, but does it matter if I removed the drive myself instead of buying the server version of the mini?

Ahhh, you did not say that you don't have one yet. Perhaps you should csll an Apple vendor in your area and ask. Although it is supposed to work with a Mini, I don't know about a Mini from 2009 since the optical drive was not released until the 2010 MBA came out, I believe.

Adobe AIR installation questions

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of distributing an application with Adobe AIR and I've a few questions about the Adobe AIR installation process. Just to give you some background on the situation I'm in - if a user wants to use the service I'm working on, they need to install a binary application on their computer. We've a web site which communicates with this binary application. As the user as to install the binary application to begin with, we're beginning to look at AIR as a possible alternative to distributing the web content through a browser.
1. Adobe AIR installation requests that the user enters their computer password. Is there any way to retrieve this password from a separate installer? The binary application that we ask our users to install asks the user for their password and it would be nice to not ask the user to enter their password twice. Are there any possibilities for sharing this password between our binary application and the Adobe AIR installer?
2. If I sign up as a re-distributer of AIR, is the Adobe EULA which is displayed at the start of installation still necessary? I'm already displaying one EULA (with the binary application) and I'd prefer not to have to display two.
3. I'm assuming that there is no way to specify the directory into which I'd like the Adobe AIR runtime to be placed - can you confirm that Adobe AIR is always installed in the /Applications folder on mac and c:/Program Files on Windows?
This question goes out to Adobe AIR developers - If you have distributed your application with Adobe AIR, have you ever stumbled across the situation where a user has uninstalled the Adobe AIR runtime (either intentionally or unintentionally) and you are now left in a situation where a user cannot access your services because Adobe AIR is not installed on their computer. If so, are you aware of any usable fallbacks other than to tell customers that they have to have Adobe AIR installed to run the application?
Thanks
Sean

1: We are working on a method to use a local socket to communicate with an installed c# application on the users machine. The situation is very similar, however we store credentials encrypted and accessible to the installed binary. If those credentials do not exist the AIR app requests the user to input them and they are sent to the binary. These credentials are stored either per session, daily or forever per the user's preferences. We use this method to let AIR be the front end it was designed to be and leave all the heavy lifting OS / processor wise to the binary. Unsure if this would help but you can read a bit more on using local sockets here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7caf. html
2: The EULA is still required as the End User has to accept it. If there's a way around that, I'm not aware.
3: The installation directory can be changed by the user unless you are performing silent installs (available when you sign a redistribution agreement). I don't recommend relying on the installation directory never changing.
Try using nativePath to determine where your program location is: (javascript)
//application directory
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
//application storage directory
var file = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
4: I've faced the problem where the AIR runtime is not available, but we always fall back on the badge there. For what it's worth it's pretty handy at detecting requirements and getting them to the user.
hope that helps

Adobe AIR Installer - Hybrid - fails to launch on MAC

We have an AIR application to be delivered as a hybrid DVD
The AIR is deployed as a bundled runtime installer.
The issue is after burning the DVD as a hybrid, the Adobe AIR Installer does not launch.
We are using toast to burn the hybrid DVD
Has anybody encountered a aimilar issue
sks

I've tried using the Leopard Disk Utility to burn a CD-R from a .dmg and a .cdr (using various options like compressed, read only ,etc.) based on the same directory that the USB installers are copied from (USB installers of AIR app + Sidecar works on Windows/Mac and Linux after installing AIR separately). I can't get those disks read on a Vista or an XP (SP 3) machine. Nothing comes up in the CD/DVD drive. If I use wodim in Ubuntu Linux (installed on a partition on a G4 Powerbook, old, I know) the installer CD works on Mac but it's not readable on WinXp or Vista.
I've also tried to copy the .cdr created on a Mac and rename it to .iso, moved it over to a Windows machine and tried burning it with 2 different software (will try Nero next) and it fails to write from the mac-originated .iso. Windows always seems to butcher the Mac-based installer .app files because it thinks they are folders so I have been unable to create a Data CD directly from the file structure on Windows.
I'd love a bullet-proof way to burn a CD that would work on Windows and Mac (and Linux would be a plus).
Thanks,
Jason

Unable to launch adobe story app, because adobe air installer fails

Hi,
I am having problems launching the adobe story app. Everytime I try to open it it tries to update and it then launches the adobe air installer which always fails and I get the following message: Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
If I close the message it launches Adobe Story and it happens again, and it goes into an endless loop.
I've re-installed the latest version of Adobe air on my computer, and it still happens. I am able to login to Adobe Story on the webrowser but there's a lot of files missing. From reading the discussions I'm thinking this might be because its a free account, and the app is no longer available, and since it didn't sync for a long time.
If this is the case, is there a way to recover the missing files without upgrading to a paid account?
I don't want to pay for an account and discover that the files are still missing.
or is this a completely different issue?
In case this information is relevant I use an iMac with Mac OS X version 10.7.4, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory.
Thank you.

Hi,
We have recently pushed out a new build of Adobe Story.
If the update is still failing, please mail me(roverma <at> adobe <dot> com) the contents of AIR installation logs.
You can get the contents of the install log using the following steps:
Mac OS X
Open the Console application from the Applications/Utilities folder.
Select System.log from the log list on the left.
In the String Matching filter field, type Adobe AIR.
Select all, and then copy and paste into a text file.
Thanks
