Help, Large AIR Application wont install :(

Hi,
Im very new to adobe AIR so please forgive me if im being thick
I am using Adobe CS4 to create an AIR application out of an existing flash web based project.
Basically the project is quite large in size 500MG+
The project previews fine and works. But when i package the AIR file and try and run it it says preparing to install for a little bit and then says: Sorry an error occurred. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
Form a little testing if i dont include some of the files and bring the overall project size down dramatically the AIR application installs successfully and runs (obviously without some .swf bits i have not included)
Im really stuck here is there a limit to what AIR can handle? I really want to get this desktop application going and would greatly appreciate any help or pionts in the right direction.
Hope smeone can help,
Thanks,

Hurray i fixed it.
I had to debug by adding extra files one by one, which was very painful.
However i found out that one .flv i had included had the & sign in its name. This was causing the error.

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix.

AIR application not installed

Hi all,
My AIR application not installed.
AIR application installer shows window with 'Getting ready to install..." and window closed and nothing happens. What I'm doing wrong and where I can see an 'installation log' to obtain the root reason of AIR installation problems?
My env: Fedora 12 x64, AIR and AIR SDK just downloaded and installed from site. All AIR SDK applications (adl and adt) works well.

Thank you for your reply!
airappinstaller throws SIGSEGV signal.
I trace it in gdb and see that libxml2::xmlHasProp throws this signal because it receive an invalid node pointer from libadobecertstore.so.
So I can't find or obtain debug symbols for adobeair-1.5.3-9130.i386 and I don't know what I should do to fix a problem...

Installing a LARGE AIR application

Hello,
I am attempting to create an installer for Windows that installs the AIR runtime, our application, and all the content required such that any user can log in and use the application. Our application is an educational tool for autistic children, and will be installed in lab environments in schools.
Our AIR application by itself is not large - about 5MB. However, it relies upon about 600MB of external assets. These include various forms of media: images, audio clips, SWFs etc. If I try to bundle all of this into a single AIR file using FlashBuilder 4, FlashBuilder dies due to lack of memory to the JVM. I have tried to increase memory to the JVM, but even given the maximum it still does not work. I then attempted to package and sign the AIR file using the command line tools. That appears to work, however that operation results in a bloated AIR file that is over 1GB in size, almost double the size of the content packaged into it. If I attempt to use the sidecar installer provided by Adobe to install this AIR file the installer dies. Further investigation shows that others have hit this same size limitation with AIR files, but there is no resolution in site to this problem.
Since it seemed impossible to package the entire application into a single AIR file my next attempt was to keep the content separate from the AIR application. I have experimented with Installshield, but have found no way to chain together the sidecar installer MSI with another MSI that installs the content to the same location. I could install the AIR application, and then let the application itself finish the installation by copying the content to app-storage://, but then the application is only usable by the user who installed it. In a lab environment in a school this doesn't work, because typically the person who is installing the application is an administrator, not the end user. app-storage:// resides under a user's directory, not in a shared location. The application is unable to copy files to the app:// location due to the security model of AIR.
I know that I can do a silent install from the command line using the sidecar installer, but I haven't found a way to chain this together with another MSI that installs the content. It could be that I am too limited by what Installshield Express offers. I am now attempting to use NSIS.
Any advice anyone may have on how to do this is very appreciated. Surely others have needed to install large media rich AIR applications on Windows. AIR is a great platform for us in many respects, but I must be able to create an easy seamless install process for end users. Our product will be going into use over the next 6 months by over 1000 users, and that number will grow quickly. I would be willing to pay for a support incident from Adobe if that is warranted.
Thanks
Kevin MacDonald

After much gnashing of teeth I I came up with what appears to be a workable solution. I am posting my solution here for the benefit of others. I was able to use NSIS to create an installer that first installs my AIR application via Adobe silent install feature (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_runtime_redist/air_runtime_redist.pdf), and then proceeds to install the content in the same folder. The end result is an application that should work for all users and is a reasonably seamless installation experience . The only downside is that you wind up with a total of 3 new items in the Programs & Features control panel: one for Adobe AIR, one for the NSIS installer, and one for the AIR application. The uninstaller only removes the NSIS installer, but that zaps all the content off the disk so it's not terrible. Another little gotcha is that the install folder in this script needs to match the folder in the descriptor file of the AIR application, because everything needs to wind up in the same folder.
This also assumes you have permission from Adobe to redistribute the AIR runtime.
My NSIS script is below.

AIR Application Silent install

Is it possible to start AIR application immediately after Silent install.
We have already signed up Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution Agreement.
and i am using below command line for silent install.
Airinstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location "C:/Program Files/Abcd" abcd.air
It works fine. But i want to launch AIR application immediately after install. Is it possible?
Thanks!

Thanks for posting the log. It appears that the install is failing during the MSI portion of the install.
Microsoft has just released a brand new tool that should help you resolve this problem. Would you mind giving it a try and let us know how it works for you? When running the new tool, go through the uninstall process and try to remove AirWrite from your system. Once that's done, give your command line another try.

Applications wont install

hello. im new to the apple world so please bare with me. i have a powerbook g4 that was given to me from a friend. i recently downloaded the latest version of safari. when i try to open the application to install it, it wont install. it says The Bill of Materials for this package was not found. so, i downloaded firefox. it installed, but it wont even open. the icon just bounces and it doesnt open. any help would be appreciated. thank you

cgg1120:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To run Firefox on Jaguar (OS X 10.2x) you will need to download Firefox 2. You could also consider SeaMonkey. However, I concur with the previous poster that you should consider upgraging your OS to Tiger or at least Panther. If you are currently running Jaguar your PowerBook G4 either has an 867 MB processor or a 1 GB processor. While both will meet the Here are the technical specifications for Leopard, the 867 MB will be quite sluggish and 1 GB processor may be a bit better but it is hard to tell how much.

APPV 4.6 Application wont Install

Hi,
I have deployed an Appv 4.6 sp2 application through SCCM 2012 and it transfers to the distribution point without errors(checked distribution log and packet transfer log), but it wont install onto the Windows 7 desktop.
I go to the application catalog to install the application, it downloads to the client cache and then displays the failed message "The software change returned error code 0x87D00607 (-2016410105)
The AppEnforce.log says:
"The OSD file "C:\windows\ccm\cache\6h\appname (14th Edition) 2014.0.0.107.osd" does not exist. (0x80070002)
When I look in the cache this file does not exist. I have checked the xml file and the osd in the original installation folder on the SCCM server and they look correct.
Anyone have any ideas on what to check next

Hi,
Please check CAS.log, LocationServices.log and ContentTransferManager.log on the client. These logs will indicate what happened when downloading the application.
You could also need to check if the boundary group assigned to the DP is correctly configured.

Help signing Air Application

Hi,
I am trying to sort out an issue with signing an AIR application using Flash.
The certificate was downloaded from Thawte into Firefox,backed up the certificate to a p12 file and used that in the Air2 settings area.
Every time I try to publish, I get an error "unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer"
I am using Macosx 10.6 and flash CS5
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hurray i fixed it.
I had to debug by adding extra files one by one, which was very painful.
However i found out that one .flv i had included had the & sign in its name. This was causing the error.

Adobe Air application not installing

Hello, I am using Windows vista 32bit. I have adobe Air installed and installing the program "Adobe Air" succeeds with no issues.
The problem is when I try to install a "*.air" package on this computer it does not function. Windows sees the package and the installer opens. The problem is it just stays in my task manager forever.
Any help on how to debug would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny

I have 64-bit / (x86) windows 7 Home Premium. I've attempted uninstalling and re-installing the latestest AIR version seperately and with Download Helper to no avail. I've also checked my account status and can confirm I have full administrator privileges enabling me to make changes to my computer.
What can I do? I keep on getting the "Sorry, an error occurred,"

Air Application not installing included folders on Win 7

Hi All
i have a really strange problem. I have made a native air installer. I have included a folder in the included files panel before publishing. When I publish it publishes fine. And when I install the air app it installs the only problem is When I go to the installed directory I see the air app but not the folder I included. Should this be the case? Where is the included folder. Can anyone help???

HELP, NO MAC APPLICATION AFTER INSTALLING BOOT CAMP

I recently decided to install Windows XP on my MAC. After doing so I no longer have acces to anything other than Windows. Its like the MAC side vanished. ??????
can anyone advise me how to fix this problem? Has anyone experianced the same problem?

MC1958,
Put in your Leopard disk, or the 1st disk that came with your computer. Hold Option while your computer is turning on and select the Leopard disk. Click next so that you can see the menu along the top of your screen. I don't recommend going farther then the Welcome screen as it is how you start a reinstall. On the menu screen that comes up go to utilities/start up disk and select your mac drive. Then quit and restart it should boot to mac.
Also before you restart goto utilities/Disk Utility and make sure you have a Macintosh HD on the left
IF you do not you might have reformatted your computer to just have the windows partition and then we will have to talk different options.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Help me! Itunes wont instal

I tried downloading itunes10 and when i go to install it the itunes installer says "itunes installer completed - the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured. your system has not been modified. to retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
what is going on and how can this be fixed so that i can download itunes.
please help me!

Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

ISScript10 does not help; 8.0.2 wont install!

I need to install 8.0.2 because my FTP login and password are
never saved now since I installed IE7. But I cannot install 8.0.2.
I get that error about a missing script engine. I have tried all
the ideas I have found. I installed ISScript10 and it did not help.
I installed 11 and it did not help. No matter what I do, I still
cannot install 8.0.2.
Can anyone recommend another option? I have never had this
problem before. Why is it happening now?
If nothing else, can I uninstall IE7 and at least have my FTP
login and password start saving again like they are supposed to?
Why would Dreamweaver be written in such a way that installing IE7
would break its saving of the FTP login and password. That is
really stupid!

I am using XP SP2.
I did see that link about canceling updater. I have not
un-installed and reinstalled Dreamweaver. But I did install the
8.0.1 update and that went on just fine. It would be helpful if
8.0.2 used the same installer as 8.0.1 did. I really dont want to
have to re-enter all my remote site information. I have a lot of
remote sites. I guess I could export each of them and then import
them back. This seems like a lot of busy to me. I did not cancel
during an install of the update. I will try uninstalling and
reinstalling Dreamweaver.
The ISScript10 installs just fine and if I look at my "Common
Files" folder, I see the InstallShield\driver\10 folder with all
the files in place.
