Cannot install AIR 3.2.0.2070 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

Question

I am not able to install the latest version of Adobe AIR. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit SP1.
Adobe AIR shows up as a program on the programs list in Windows control panel, however I get the following message when I try to run a program that requires Adobe AIR):
"This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found"
I could remove it with the help of the Microsoft FixIt Utility but I am not able to install it correctly. I tried running it in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode with no luck.
The installation log is set forth below. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

Could you try creating a new, temporary user account and see if you can install from there?
