How to uninstall on Mac for customUpdateUI and disable Updater.update()?

Question

Hi there,
I am getting a strange behavior on the Mac and see if anyone
has similar issue.
First, I deployed a
"version 1" application and installed on the machine with
customeUpdateUI=true, when the app install, it will attempt
to update using
Updater.update() in the following manner,
quote:
private function runUpdate(updatePath:String):Boolean {
if (!updatePath)
return false;
var file:File = new File(updatePath);
if (!file || !file.exists)
return false;
var updater:Updater = new Updater();
updater.update(file, "version 2");
return true;
Then I repeat the step above for
"version 2" and everything is working great. The update is
working fine on Windows and on Mac. (This code is for demo only, I
didn't hardcode the version # in the app. ;)
The problem I have is re-install.
On Windows, if you uninstall "version 1", then install
"version 2", works great
On a
Mac, if you uninstall "version 1", then install "version 2"
fails, error message for "version mismatch".
It seems there is still something left behind on the Mac when
uninstall the app, such that when I launch "version 2" install, it
is still attempting to run update from the local installed app,
rather than the update from the new installed .air file.
Anyone have similar issue? How to uninstall an AIR app on the
Mac? Do I just trash the App directory, or do I need to perform
additional clean up?
Besides trashing the app directory, I also tried to delete
anything suggest to me is Adobe AIR related info, including,
/User/Library/App Support/Adobe
/User/Library/Preferences
/Library/App Support/Adobe
Please don't hesitate to let me know if anything I can
provide to identify this issue.
Thanks in advance.
OS: Mac OS X and Tiger

Thanks for the prompt reply.
The case is on the Mac, suppose my app is call myApp.air
1. Run myApp.air, install version 1, works great
2. Make a new myApp.air, name it version 2.
3. Run myApp.air, upgrade version 1 to version 2, works
great.
4. Uninstall version 2 by delete the installation folder. For
example, if I install on /Users/MyApp, delete the folder and empty
trash.
5. Install version 2 myApp.jar, error message complains
version mismatch.
On windows, I can uninstall from Control Panel. On the Mac, I
don't know how I should remove an AIR app, and so I just went ahead
and delete the app install folder.
Thanks in advance! Really appreciate your assistance.
