Corrupted PackagerHelp.air File

I installed the RoboHelp Packager for Adobe Air but the
packagerhelp.air file that I think contains the documentation is
damaged. No help displays when I press F1 in the RH Packager. When
I try to install it, I get an error. I've uninstalled and
reinstalled the RH packager with the same results.
I need info on Context-sensitive help. The readme.pdf that
comes with the RH Packager install says refer to the documentation
for info on CSH.
There is a download link for this file on the RoboHelp 7
Resource page
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/robohelp/
but I get a web page cannot be found message when I click it.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/AIR/1.0/PackagerHelp.air
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

It's not clear whether you think the file is damaged because
F1 does not work or the two things are separate statements.You say
that when you TRY to install you get an error so it sounds like you
cannot install but you then refer to uninstalling. What error
message?
The help for the Packager is accessed by clicking "?" on the
title bar.
There are some links in the Packager article on my site. See
if they help.

AIR Badge + RewriteRule fails - Downloaded file is not an air file

Hi everyone!
I'm not entirely sure my problem comes from RewriteRule but I've searched this forum for topics on corrupted AIR files and the Install Badge and tried almost every possible tip with no luck so I thought maybe my special issue comes from it...
Here we go:
I have a server-side script that builds AIR apps which are supposed to be installed (via an Install Badge). Those AIR apps are not stored at a public URL (for security reasons) but read (via PHP) when a specific URL is called. Let me give you an example (with fake paths) :
The server-side built AIR app is store at /srv/data/air/myApp.air
A RewriteRule redirects calls to http://www.my-server.com/air/999.air to http://www.my-server.com/air.php?id=999
The air.php uses the GET id to read the AIR file :
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private", false);
header("Content-Type: $mimeType");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name;" );
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($path));
readfile($path);
With $mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" and $name="999.air"...
When accessing the rewritten URL directly with a browser, everything is fine: the AIR file can be downloaded and installed as expected.
But! When using an Install Badge linking to that URL, I get the nasty "The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged" message...
And here's what's stored in .airappinstall.log:
Starting app install of http://(...)/9889.air
UI SWF load is complete
UI initialized
Downloading file to C:\Documents and Settings\Quentin\Local Settings\Temp\fla19D.tmp
Received HTTP Response Status event
Response URL is http://(...)/9889.air
Downloaded file is not an air file.
starting cleanup of temporary files
application installer exiting
Hum... And I'm stuck.
Thoughts?
I have multiple Install Badges in the same page, do you think this can break things?
I've try adding the AddType instruction in a .htaccess file but it didn't change a thing...
Thanks in advance!

OK, I've got news.
Bad news.
In fact I realized the appurl set in the Install badge is (obviously) not called directly but by a script located at http://adobe.com/apollo... So your my session is not available in the script that is called and that reads the actual AIR file. So I can't check wether the user requiring the file has the right to. At least, not the way I intended to do it...
I will keep you updated if I find something!

Air 1.51 installation failure. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

The error:
The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.
is generated when an AIR installation file is lauched from a Samba Network Drive in Vista Utlimate 64. If the install files are copied to a local drive, it installs without incident.

Working with networks drives are never reliable. Corruption, path problems, networks connections, and privlatges can come in the way of a properly mapped drive. I think your solution is fairly straight forward. You need to install your application from a local filesystem, not a mapped network drive. In the meantime, log a bug report HERE.

Error creating AIR file: could not generate timestamp

I have been getting this error the last few days.
Error creating AIR file: could not generate timestamp:

I found one thread saying this url must be accessible but when I go there I get "404 -- page not found".
Since this was working now it is not I'm looking for a direction.

Hey Karthik,
First of all, are you using ECLIPSE? What is your development
Environment. I had run into same issue, after hours of trying
different things, I installed the FLEX BUILDER and was able to
create the application without any issues. I have also noticed that
FLEX BUILDER works more smoothly than Eclipse and since then I have
been developing within FB.
Thanks.

Installing .air file on Windows 7 64-bit

This batch command works in XP and in Windows 7 32-bit, but not in Windows 7 64-bit:
@echo off
REM
REM Set location to install to. (This dir must exist or install wont work!)
REM
set INSTLOC="c:\producthelp"
REM
REM Install help.
REM
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location %INSTLOC% "Product Help.air"
(product name replaced with Product.) We are using the latest (today's) AdobeAIRInstaller.exe. We have tried using identical syntax to install other .air files from the Adobe site; they did not install either. Is there something simple we're missing here? Is there a known issue with installing .air files on 64-bit Windows 7? I couldn't find one at this site.

I think the reason you have had no reply is that no one has an answer. The only thing I can think of is to ask if the AIR file installs if you run it normally rather than from a batch file. If it does, then you know where the problem is but I cannot help you with that.

Error creating AIR file

When I try to Publish to AIR file,
Error Creating AIR file.
The swf file specified as root content is missing.
error is shown.
When I run the Publish Project from the Project Panel in Flash CS4,
The same error as earlier is obtained:
Error Creating AIR file.
The swf file specified as root content is missing.
and:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.filesystem::File could not be found.
at global$init()
my application has a TextArea control in the library added to stage via actionscript (2 textarea instances).
2 folders in applicationStorageDrectory with a database in one.The other folder will get populated with files at runtime only.
Am I missing some thing?
Please help me.

I solved it.
I changed the .fla to a new folder and things works fine.
The reason I suppose is with the project settings in the project panel in flash.
So this time didn't add any project to the project panel.
Thank You.

Adobe Bridge Corrupts Canon CR2 files

Viewing Canon CR2 RAW files from a Canon EOS 7D or Canon EOS 40D camera will corrupt some images. After Adobe Bridge creates a
thumbnail of the CR2 files, some images previews will show the file with corruption (large white square or discolored areas). The CR2 file then
becomes corrupt. The file is not corrupt prior to viewing in bridge, but it becomes corrupt after viewing in bridge. The file is corrupt because it can
no longer be processed with any other RAW conversion program including ACR, DPP, or BreezeBrowser. If the file is marked as read only before viewing in bridge, the image preview shows corrupt in Bridge but the file remains intact and can be processed with Canon's DPP software. This issue first occured with CS4 and the ACR 5.5 update. The problem seemed to be less prevalent with the ACR 5.7 update. However after upgrading to CS5 this problem is back and worse than ever.
When doing a detailed file compare between a corrupted version of a CR2 file and a copy of the same file before the corruption occurs it appears as if metadata has been written to the wrong part of the file (middle) instead of the beginning (header).
Operating System: Windows 7

I am trying to fix this problem as well.
In my case, I've got Windows 7 (32-bit), CS5, and a Canon 50D.
I've got photos that I can view perfectly in Canon's Digital Photo Professional, but the SAME photo in the SAME directory opens corrupted in Bridge.
Here's an interesting wrinkle:
Scenarios:
(fyi - all my CR2 images are pulled off the CF card using Bridge's loader)
CR2 Image opened in Canon's Digital Photo Professional: Opens Fine.
CR2 Image opened in Photoshop directly (skipping Bridge): Opens Fine. (opens in Camera Raw first, of course, but still Fine)
CR2 Image 'browsed to' in Bridge: Corrupted pinky/yellow/white.
CR2 Image double-clicked in Bridge, opens in Camera Raw: Corrupted pinky/yellow/white.
Bridge closed.
CR2 image opened in Photoshop directly again. Pay attention... opens 1st in Camera Raw: Corrupted, but for only five seconds! It refreshes on its own and now is Fine! Click Open Image into Photoshop and it Opens Fine again.
It's clear to me Bridge/Adobe something is corrupting these images.
It seems sometimes that the corruption becomes permanent, and even Canon's Digital Photo Professional shows a corrupted image. In the scenarios and order mentioned above, the CR2 file remains openable fine in Digital Photo Professional. So, why other images I have cannot open well in Digital Photo Professional, I do not know -- perhaps the order I clicked things caused Bridge to update the CR2 file?
I'm in the process of updating all CS5 software to the latest, in case I'm missing some updates. If anything improves as a result, I'll update here.

"Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged

Hello-
I have an air application that is distributed via CDROM, the app is signed by a code signing certificate and timestamped. In mid-August when my certicate expired my users started calling stating that they couldn't install our product due to the following error: "Sorry, an error has occured. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author." From my understanding a timestamped application is taken at a point in time when it's generated so why would it matter if the certificate was still valid? I have since replaced the certificate and will need to redistribute to my (thousands of) users however when I test it out using a future date and time the same error occurs. Any information to help resolve this would be grately appreciated.

my command:
C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adl
application.xml
C:\Users\HOME USE\Desktop\AIR Development\HelloWorld>adt
-certificate -cn HelloW
orld 1024-RSA certHelloWorld.pfx password

Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally. It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is included with the air install file. Is there a size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to create and AIR is v 1.53.

I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram. It plays fine on the Mac. On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb. I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe... I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

Including a PDF in an AIR File

I have imported a Word 2003 manual into RH8, updated it, then generated both an AIR file and Printed Documentation output as a single Word document. After fixing formatting/style issues in the document, I then converted the generated document to PDF from within Word. Now I am trying to figure out how to attach the PDF so that when users access the AIR file, the PDF is also available to them there should they want it. (In the past, we have always provided PDF versions from our website but would like to instead include them in the AIR file). I know it can be done because I saw a demo AIR file that had it....
I realize that there is a print feature within AIR but that prints out everything annoyingly large. We have roughly 10,000 pages of documentation....and I haven't found a way to configure the size.
So 2 questions really - how do I attach the PDF so it displays in the TOC tree (or elsewhere) and is there some way to adjust the print feature that comes with AIR?
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide!
Kathi

Kathi,
I'm not sure about the print feature, but in terms of packaging a .pdf file with the AIR output, I asked virtually the same question in a topic like four up from yours. If you back to the Adobe Robohelp AIR output forum, it will be towards the top and is called something like "Embedding PDFs". It turns out you add them as baggage files. Then, once they are in the Project Manager as a baggage file, you can open the topic you want the link to be in, hold down shift, and then drag the baggage file from the Project Manager to the topic. It will then automatically create the link to the pdf. One thing to note is that to actually make the link work, you have to install the .air file and then open it. If you generate the air output and then press on that View Output button, the pdf link won't work. You must click on the Install button. Let me know if the thread I mentioned does not answer your question. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Robert

Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
Thanks!!

Kappy,
No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.
