Error updating AIR application on Linux

Hello,
I'm trying to update an AIR application that's already installed, and I'm getting the following error message every time:
"The application could not be installed because another application is already being installed. Complete the first installation before proceeding with this one."
There doesn't seem to be any other installation happening, and I still get the same error after restarting the computer.
I'm running AIR 2.6.0.19170 on Ubuntu 11.10. The end of Install.log is shown below (the full contents of the log are at http://pastebin.com/ExtFdpfg).
I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to how to resolve this.
Thanks

Uninstall air application on linux (ubuntu)

Hi, maybe this is a stupid question, but I can't figure out
how to uninstall an air application on linux.
Can you help me?

You can uninstall an installed AIR application (on all
operating system) by double-clicking the .air file used to install
it. The AIR application installer includes an option for
uninstalling an installed application.
On Linux, you can also use a package manager (such as
Synaptec Package Manager) to remove installed applications.

Hello,
here's the problem.
I'm trying to install an AIR application developed by me on a Linux Suse 10.1, and i'm getting Error #2004 (invalid parameters) usign the GUI installer or AIR.

Error installing AIR application jledwardianadventcalendar.air

Hi,
I'm trying to install an AIR application but keep receiving the error message:

"The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
I've uninstalled and reinstalled AIR.

I don't have an answer, just wanted to share your frustration. I'm running Windows Vista on a Toshiba Satellite with 40+GB free hard disk space and 2GB RAM so space is not the problem. All updates have been made.
My AIR log shows the identical error info. I have requested help from the application's author, which first suggested it was Firefox causing the problem, but downloading from Chrome and IE made no difference. Nor did reinstalling AIR. A friend was able to download this app with no problem. And I was able to download the other (somewhat smaller) JL app with no problem, which really seems strange.
Hoping someone here with more tech knowledge might be able to offer a suggestion. If I get a helpful reply from the app author, I'll be sure to share it.

Comand line argument for updating .air applications

Hi all,
Please help me regarding the issue while updating the .air application silently using command line argument -update -silent -location <%INSTALLDIR%> "Location of .air file".
For the fresh installation I used the following cmd line arguments
------> Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -programMenu -location "<INSTALLDIR>" "Location of .air file" ---> This will work for fresh installations only.
but the same comand will not work if the older version is already installed in the machine we have t use -update argument.
I don't fine correct argument list for updating the .air files. Please help me if any one know how to update the .air file silently using command line arguments.

Hi,
To update an app, the app installer should be invoked with the following command line params:
-update -silent <dir> <url> <version>
where <dir> is the full native path to the application, <url> is the URL to the .air file to update it with (either local or remote), and <version> is the version of the new app in the .air file.
Thanks,
Jian

Error launching AIR application, Debug works

Hello!
I just tried to develop an air application that grabs current actions from our local intranet. While developing with aptana everything worked fine. Then i created the .air package and installed the new program.
But everytime i want to start the program an windows error occurs. Testing the project with aptana or directly with the adt-file throws up NO error. Everything works fine.
Has anyone an ideo of what is happening here?
I cant run the program after creating with aptana, same with creating directly with the Air SDK command line tool.
Here's a jing video of what i mean: http://www.mypoo.de/tmp/adobeair_error.swf
Thank you

Hi. I don't think we've seen this before. The engineer who
handles this area is out on vacation this week, so I apologize if
it takes us a bit to follow up.. In the meantime, would you mind
posting your exact steps? I.e. are you literally just running the
AIR project wizard, adding some code to the default application it
generates, and clicking the debug button? Anything else? You're not
double-clicking the -app.xml file directly by any chance, are you?
If you could also note the version of Dreamweaver you have
installed that'd be great.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi for All, Pleeeeeeease help me, Update Air application problem

Hi guys,
I have big adobe-air ajax based application installed in my computer ,I have updated some files in my application, and generate the new(updated) version of the air file and put it in the server .My application size is 300 MB. The problem is that the update framework will download and reinstall all the files of air application(300 MB !!!) ,
Is there any way to reinstall only the updated files of my application without need to reinstall all the files during the update process ????
Regards

Hi Anil,
If you go to RSPLAN there you can go to Portal link (it must be configured properly in system)
In portal there will be wizard where you can easily go step by step and create planning functions and sequences like below:
       1.      You choose the appropriate InfoProvider.
       2.      You create one or more aggregation levels.
       3.      You create one or more filters.
       4.      You create one or more planning functions.
       5.      You create a planning sequence.
       6.      You test the planning model.
which is clearly explained in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d2440301a06f4e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
after doing this you can create a query on aggregates you have created above and then make query input ready i.e planning enabled for keyfigures you want like mentioned in below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d023a41130bd5e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
then you can run query in Analyzer and save it as a work book after proper drilldown which can be used as template.
Hope you understood basic thing, as you going on doing u will know clearly every thing.

Updating AIR application

I hope I am asking this question in the right forum
I am working with a dev team that's writing AIR application
To keep it simple, let's say this AIR application has 10 swf and 2 swc (plus other assets)
All of these files are packaged inside an AIR installer, and customer will run this full package AIR installer to install this application
My question is: let's say they created a patch, and it is changing 2 .swf. Is it possible to create an "incremental" AIR installer that contain ONLY the 2 changed swf, and user can run this incremental AIR installer to update an existing AIR application with the 2 newly changed swf files?
Thanks
KK Fong
PS: We are using Flex SDK 3.6.0 right now

keep a xml that has current version. Download your swf live everytime you start application(if there is a newser version)

Headless Installer for AIR Application on Linux/Unix Platforms

Is there a way to install Adobe AIR applications without invoking the GUI wizard that walks through the step-by-step process? I have an AIR application that needs to be remotely deployed on a device (that's running Linux) from a terminal session (sometimes using a scheduled job run by a script) . Its a trusted environment and deployments are all within a single enterprise. Is it possible to automate the process of accepting a self-signed certificate and specify installation path as arguments to a command line installer? I played around a bit with the installer script but it seems to invoke the standard interactive GUI every time and that wouldn't work for my case. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am not sure about Linux platform but I have experience running headless installation for Mac OS X .
The command I execute is:
Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent -location /Applications SPS.air
If you are distributing the Air Runtime to clients, there is a license agreement you need to complete with Adobe. More here:

Can't update AIR application on Windows XP service pack 3

We've run into another AIR update issue with our AIR 2.0.4 sidecar product.
Our application uses the standard ApplicationUpdater.checkNow() method to look for and download updates. Just such an update was issued recently, and one of our team members has reported an issue attempting to download the new update on a Windows XP service pack 3 machine.
They are getting an Error 16818.
Thanks for any insight.

Hi,
Error 16818 is "IO error while saving data to disk". Is there any way we could get the installer log from this machine? It might give us additional clues.
Thanks,
Chris

Than I changed my OS to linux(ubuntu 64 bit) and I setup all the environment with following this article : http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/release_notes_linux/jfxpub-release_notes_linux.htm. On compile time there is not any error but when I run it I got this error.

Yes , it does. I might be wrong but, I think the problem comes from stage initalization. Because I check the logs and every thing is ok. My environment is:
OS: ubuntu 11.10 - 64 bit
jdk: jdk1.7.0_03 - 32bit
javafx: JavaFX 2.1 build b17

Install error in Air application created in Flex builder

Updating Air Application without prompt

I am considering using Air for a kiosk application. One potential issue I see is that when you update, my research shows that it requires someone to click an "Accept" button to perform the update. I was wondering is there any way around this? If there isn't then this would be a dealbreaker for using Air.
We would be able to log in remotely and run scripts, so not sure if something can be done this way to bypass the requirement for touching of the button. But it has to be done without the interaction of a person.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. I've done some searching but nothing's come up yet and maybe I'm just not finding the right thing.
Thanks!

Desktop applications can indeed simply skip the user-question. I've written an Update Helper, which is currently still in work but it provides the "force install" functionality which don't even let the user chose to restart the app or not. It's simply doing so
You can find the current state here: https://github.com/beautifycode/AIRUpdateHelper-AS3
