Help removing Adobe Air

Question

I made the mistake of trying to install the BBC Iplayer desktop from bbc iplayer website for those that know of it as something seem sto have gone wrong with the install and caused adobe air to act all mental on me and now each time i visit the bbc iplayer website i get the message
"this application requires a version of adobe air which cannot be found, please download the latest version from....."
I also get that message if i try to unistall adobe air.
I googled this and seen that its a big issue with adobe air, tried all the fixes, the comman prompt tip but nothing works
i got the following from my log

I have exactly the same error now. Don't know why all of a sudden this appears:
