Can't install Air on XP home edition (sp3) any ideas?

I'm getting the error: An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator.
I've been all over this forum trying all sorts of proposed fixes and still have no luck. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Great news I was finally able to resolve my problem...It was related to an older version of Adobe Air still being installed on the system under (All users).
Here is a step by step fix that I used to get the Air Player installed.
Step 1. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility here: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility-Download-18442.htm l
Step2. Install the program from step one.
Step3. You will need to run the cleanup utility program by doing the following:
Step4.Go to Start=>All Programs=>Then find Windows Install Cleanup ...Double click the icon to launch the utility program.
You should see this window open:
Step5. When the window opens...look for a file named Adobe Air [1.?.?] as the version. (Mine has the new version installed so you can see it at the very top entry.
Step6. If you see Adobe Air listed with a previous version...select it and the remove button will become active. Click Remove.
Step7. The utility will remove all the previous version of Adobe Air.
Step8. Grab the latest version of the Adobe Air runtime and Install it. In my case, the new version of Adobe Air installed right away with no problems.
Summary: I think that my mistake was assuming that the installation of the windows cleanup utility was the actual cleanup process. It's not...you have to install the utility and then go to Step3 and actually run the utility after you have selected the outdated version of the Adobe Air.
Hope this helps...Kerry

I have a CC subscription for Lightroom and purchased the upgrade for my standalone Ver. 5 to Ver. 6, but I can't install the standalone upgrade. Anyone have any idea how to do it?

Your initial post indicated that you had a CC subscription. That seems to imply that you have subscribed. If you hadn't already purchased Lightroom 6 I would suggest that you wait until you decide about CC. You really don't need both because the Lightroom program is precisely the same except for Lightroom 6 without the creative cloud has no Lightroom mobile capabilities. But I was only trying to help.

Install software for Deskjet 2540 will not load on Windows XP Home edition SP3 machine

I have successfully connected a new Deskjet 2540 printer to a Windows 7 machine, and IPAD Air, and an XP Pro laptop.
I cannot get the install software to load on and XP Home edition SP3 machine. I have tried all of the HP remedies that I can find, over period of two days, but the installation fails every time with the message "Installation failed. The software required for your printer could not be installed".
What can be done?

Hi,
Thanks for your second installment of help suggestions.
I started check disk as you proposed and it ran happily for some hours with evidence of progress. However eventually I found the computer stopped with a number of suggestions for restarting. I tried all of these and some others, but got no further than the first Windows picture. At this point the machine restarts, and goes through the same process.
The printer problem, as you can see has unfortunately become secondary to trying to recover the system.
What I propose is to try to read the disc in question on another computer, and extract the important data files to a safe place. Then to return the disc to its own machine and use the recovery CD, to try to get the machine to recover with the minimum of loss. If this succeeds, I might even find that the printer software then loads without problem. There is a big IF there, and I won't hold my breath.
None of this relates to the printer problem, and fortunately i have three other devices running which are happily connected to the printer.
I just wnted to explain why there will be no further feedback for a while. I will take my time with the recovery process.
Thanks for all of your help. I have just been unlucky.
Regards

Well, I run the script but the error still remain.
So I read the topic suggested by Xenus989898 (this one http://forums.adobe.com/thread/782927?tstart=0) where you told to check the /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework folder
I just deleted it and then everything work ! AIR installed succesfully.
Thanks a lot

Hello Chris,
thanks for getting back to me. I managed to install the AIR using command line
and -silent -EULAaccepted options. Still having issues with installing Picaboo X
software, but i suppose it's a problem on their side as other apps are installing
without issues
thnx

Hi,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with the installer. Was there any additional log information provided? It appears that it's been truncated. When the installer runs, do you see any dialogs, progress bars, or errors? Finally, did you get any errors when you ran the AppleScript?
Thanks,
Chris

Can we install AIR files on Android?

Can we install AIR file on an Android device with AIR runtime installed? I have tried publishing APK and it works. If yes, what is the difference between publishing it as an AIR app and publishing it as an APK?

If you have administrator privileges on your Archos Tab you can try to side-load the AIR installer onto your Archos from your Android phone. Copy the AIR APK from your phone to a location on your computer and then connect your Archos to your computer. Or if you have a directory on the internet you can upload and download, though I don't know the legal ramifications concerning all of this side-loading. You may only be licensed to use AIR on the device on which it was downloaded.
But if you can port your AIR application as a .air file, you might have an extension to your Adobe AIR publication software that allows you to publish an APK file, in which case all you have to do is connect the Archos to your computer and copy the apk to the Archos and install the application, if you have administrator privileges to install applications outside of the Archos market.
Does this make sense? By no means should you "root" your device though because that could void your warranty and also incur other personal damages to you that you do not need to have.

What does the message say, exactly?
Try this:
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:
Double-click your hard disk icon. It is usually named "Macintosh HD":
Look for this folder:
If it appears in that window, drag it to the Trash.

Try going to System Preferences>Security & Privacy and under the General tab...

My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
