How to install an Air Application directly to users root folder or C:\ ?

I am compiling an AIR file for Flash CS 5 and the filed for install directory gives me a place where I can put a value for install location but this install location is
inside the program files. I want my app to install directly to the C: drive on users computer how can I do that.
For example: if I put a value in the field as "my app" the install location of this app will be C:\program files\my app\
but I want to install to C:\my app\
If I put the value as C:\program files\my app\ then it does not compile
If I put the value as <root dir>\my app then it doe snot compile
Any work around would be appreciated.

I just tried and was able to install my app to the root of the C: drive with no problem. Do you have the proper permissions on your machine to allow you to install to that location? I recorded a quick screencast to show you the steps I took:

Let me know if those are the same steps you're taking.

How to provide terms & conditions option while installing an AIR application

Hi
I have an AIR application which is developed using flex SDK. I have got an requirement that when the user tries to install the AIR application, I need to display the terms & conditions details. If the user accepts the terms & conditions, it need to be install the application. Is it possible to do?
And also i need to set the expiration date (i.e. trial period) so the application gets expired on the specified date in the user's machine. I am not sure whether these two things are possible? Please advice.
Thanks

Hi Douglas,
Thanks very much (and to Chris) for getting back to me.
I attached a zip file that is a small 'hello world' AIR application that I
compiled using FlashBuilder 4, configured to use the 4.1 sdk. I also
attached the self-signed certificate I used when exporting the release
build. The password for this is dogdish. This application gives the error
messages I indicated in my post when attempting to install on the Mac where
the AIR runtime is not yet installed.
We recently upgraded from FlexBuilder 3 to FlashBuilder 4, which I believe
is when this issue started. I followed the instructions for doing a side-car
installation and had no problems with either Mac or Windows when using
FlexBuilder 3.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Using NSIS to install an AIR application

Can I use NSIS to create an installer for an AIR application? I won't be distributing the application.air file, instead I will be distributing the unpacked/installed application files that are generated by the application.air file. I believe Adobe has no legal right to the unpacked/installed application files therefor Adobe can't dictate how those files are distributed, but I need that confirmed if possible.
The default AIR installer looks very intimidating to end-users due to the design and the "this app will kill your computer and then kill you" messages, and I really don't want end-users to be put off by it, nor am I going to pay for a code-signing certificate when the application itself is free of charge. Adobe really need to take another look at the way AIR applications are installed, the current process/design is a joke.

I would be very interested to know if you had any luck using NSIS to install your AIR application. I have hit a roadblock using Adobe's sidecar installer because my AIR file is too big. I'm looking at having to split out the content so that my AIR file is small, and then install the content separately. However, I need to install the content to app://, not app-storage:// so that all users can use the application. I'm finding this difficult with Installshield Express, so I'm now attempting to do it with NSIS.

How to launch other air application from on air application

Hi there,
I am new to air technology, I wonder if air can allow me to
launch different air application when I am in air application. All
my applications are desktop application.
By the way, how can I attach my EULA when installing my air
application?
Best,

Take a look at the help for the CreateInterface function. Notepad.exe doesn't have an ActiveX so you have to start it with a command line shell. I don't recall for the moment the function in HiQ that allows that.

Where I can find instructions on how to install Sales Forecasting application?

Hi,
I'm looking for instructions on how to install Sales Forecasting application mentioned in this OBE: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/12c/r1/security/sec_redact/sec_redact.html.
Prerequisite says:
Installed Oracle Application Express (APEX) in a pluggable database, with the Sales Forecasting application created in an APEX workspace
So, i want to read up on how to install this Sales Forecasting application created in an APEX workspace.
Thanks for your help.

I believe that was an older sample apex application that is no longer available. At least not available in the set of sample and demo applications that ship with APEX..
Thank you,

Install Adobe Air application (.air file) from command line in Mac OS X

Hello everybody
I would like to install an air application on many systems (Mac OS X) using remote install. Is there a way to achieve this?
Is there a pure command line utility to install Adobe AIR applications (.air files) in Mac OS X?
Thanks. Masteradi

Thanks for your reply. I already knew that command but it's good to see it again.
In the meantime I have found a tool called ARH (AIR Redistribution Helper) which can be used to install an air application, uninstall an air application, etc.
Now I would like to create a .pkg file (for Mac OS X) that will use ARH together with my .air file and that will install or update (uninstall/install) the application. But I guess this is no more an issue for Adobe AIR. I have to learn the tools specific for Mac (Iceberg, Xcode).
Best regards
Masteradi

Is it possible to install multiple AIR applications from single install?

I've been asked to find a way to install multiple air applications in one install. Is this possible, or am I going to have to use a 3rd party tool like InstallShield?

I guess it's possible to create a meta-installer, which fires up the individual installers using the command line. It's not the ideal way to do this, but it might work.
Sample code to use the command line from within Flex:
<fx:Script>
if(NativeProcess.isSupported)
    var file:File = File.desktopDirectory;
    file = file.resolvePath("secondAirProgram.air");
    var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
    nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
    var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
    process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
</fx:Script>

Opening Air application Directly

Hi,
I have developed a flex application. On clicking a button in the flex application, the AIR application should be installed. If the AIR application is not installed, the AIR application will be installed. The Installation shows the options of "Open" , "Save" and "Cancel". Is there any possibilty of showing only "Open" and "Cancel"?
Thank You

Re-installing the Story AIR app should resolve this issue.
You can use this link to get the latest Story AIR app.
https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air
Note: On Mac OS, before reinstalling the app, ensure that all previous installations of the app are completely removed. To search for old installations, search for "adobe story" in Spotlight.
If reinstalling the app doesn't solve the issue, please revert back.

How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder?

How can I get Spotlight to search my Users/Shared folder? It searches the folders in the other users, but not Shared. When I CMD-I the Shared folder, my group has read-write privileges (all groups have at least read-only privileges). When I do the search in the Finder window (with the Shared folder highlighted), It gives me the options of This Mac and "Shared". When I click on "Shared," it does not give me any results. I keep documents, photos, iTunes data, etc, in this Shared folder, and would like to be able to use Spotlight on it.

I appreciate the 108 "views," but there weren't any replies, so I took another shot at figuring it out. I did a CMD-I on the Shared folder, and made the "everyone" group have read-write access, and it worked! I'm not sure if its because now all groups have read-write access, or just because the "everyone" group does, but I don't care at this point. I'll have to restrict a few folders within in there, but at least it searches the main Shared folder itself now.

How can i Install an AIR application on USB drive?

I am new to AIR application development.I want to develop a application which could run from an external USB drive(flash drives). I wanted to know if it is possible to install the application on the USB drive.If so what is the procedure.

That is completely false about Windows. Windows does not automatically get infected with anything the minute you connect it to the net. My god where do you come up with that? I run several Windows PCs and none of them run any malware or anti virus programs and none of them have ever been infected with anything and they are always connected to the Internet. I'm typing this reply from one such Windows PC.
It's all about how you use your computer not the OS it runs. Sure Windows is a much bigger target for the scum of the world to attack as it has 90% of the market so the people that write the viruses and malware programs do it for a system they have a better chance of infecting.
But to ***-U-Me that just because you have Windows and you go to the Net that it will get infected with something is just a Bold Face Lie. And I suspect you know that.
So why not post truths instead of the Lie in your post.
By the way Mac's can also be infected as has been proven recently. So no matter what OS you run you can get infected. Now that is not a Lie.

The two responses above are right- there is no Windows Explorer version that will install in Mountain Lion.
There are a couple of things you can try that might work, short of installing Windows on your machine, either in a virtual machine (like virtual box or parallels) or with bootcamp. Personally, I hate either of those options, just because windows is such a magnet for malware and viruses. The second you expose windows to the internet it becomes infected.

Actually, all air applications can not be installed so far, including TweetDeck etc. How can I fix this problem?

Chris,
Your suggestion to use Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to solve my problem worked! Many thanks for the suggestion.
For anyone who wants to use Windows Installer CleanUp Utility: Microsoft no longer supports this utility and you will no longer be able to download it from their site. I found a copy of it at:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.sh tml
Please note that after you install it, you will have to go find it in Start -> All Programs (Windows XP), launch it, select Adobe AIR, and click the Remove button.
