Install error in Air application created in Flex builder

Hi all,
When I export the release version of an AIR project, and
attempt to
run the resulting AIR file, I get the error "The application
could not
be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a
new AIR
file from the publisher." This happens every time, with every
project.
I even created a new project, and tried exporting that
project without
adding any of my own code to it and still the same error. The
export
process does not generate any errors.
I ' ve adobe cs3 and Flash Player 10. Adobe flex_sdk_3 and
airsdk also installed.But .air file was can't install
Thanks in Advance,

hello tzeng,
The air file was created by using Flex Builder 3 .One xml
file and mxml file were used. The project export release the .air
file (installer package ). When i install the .air file that error
has occured.
Thanks for reply,

Error when trying to install any air application from my flex builder project

I have a serious problem, I am unable to install any exported air file created in my AppTest project. I just keep getting an error saying: "Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
I am using FlexBuilder 3 to build and export my app release build. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

I'd try un-then-reinstalling and making sure any overlay that you're applying (update of SDKs, etc.) are done correctly.

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

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.

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

Need guidance in developing AIR Application based on flex 4.0.0.10396 sdk beta.

Hi Friends,
I need to develop a desktop mail client for web based RIA developed in extjs. The air application has to communicate with a flex application hidden inside the web app and get the SMTP Details and send mail using the socket connection.
Till date i have found few plugins and i am testing out each one of them.
1) byteArray SmtpMailer for socket mailing which has login authentication, attachment support.
2) suiggly with halo rich text editor for spell check enabled mail composer.
3) flash network localConnection for communication between web flex hidden inside extjs ria app and air app, The flex application and extjs application communicate using FABridge.js.
4) updateFramework for frequently updating the air app with new features.
Drawbacks i face:
1) ByteArray SmtpMailer works fine but i am unable to find a plugin for SSL encryption support which is required for connecting with gmail SMTP server.
2) The flex web application size grows upto 1.8MB(approx) with all SDK librarys which are part of 4.0.0.10396 SDK, which is thrice as big as the extjs RIA app.
3) The updateFramework for updating a air application throws errors, which is diffcult to troubleshoot or understand by novice like me.

Ok, just figured this out. The cert I created was somehow malformed. I simply created a new one with the Flash IDE which worked fine. Any other method of creating the cert that I tried failed, including the keytool command line utility.

Install error 1401 - Could not create key

I'm trying to install BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.5 in Windows XP. I'm installing it in my daughters WinXP user account. Durring the install process I said to make the software available only to her account, not to all users. (I run ActiveSync for my Pocket PC in my account. I don't know if there are conflicts between these programs but I didn't want to risk it.)
When the installation program said its status was "Registering class servers", the following message popped up:
Error 1401.Could not create key
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1123561945-1647877149-682003330-1009\Software\Classes. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
When I clicked OK, the installation was rolled back and a message informed me that the InstallShield wizard was interrupted.
I have no idea how to verify access to that key, and I don't have any support personnel. I'm a home user and this error gives me no information about what to do.
Can anyone help?

Hi, Jeff;
Make sure you have compiled your application as 32 bit, and not "any cpu".

Unattended install of a .air applications - how to

I have a Adobe Air application ( .air) that I need to install across multiple machines.
Is there anyway to do a unattended install?
This would be on Mac OS Based computers and I have access to Apple Remote Desktop so I can copy and start the installer application on each machine, but right now it stops at the security screen like the one shown below and I have to visit each computer to complete.
Thank you
Mark

Blue screen of death while installing any Adobe Air application

Whenever I try to install an Air application I get a Blue Screen and then my system restarts.
I cannot even take a screenshot of it.
This happens with every air application I try to install.
I also searched for the same on Adobe forums and found the same problem being faced by someone else.
His problem was resolved by uninstalling a software named "Folder Lock".
I searched my hard disk for this software and found one, so I deleted that software (shift+delete) and removed all it's traces from registry too but that still doesn't solved the problem.
I also tried disabling the antivirus software and then install the air application but this also didn't helped.
I was able to install air applications earlier, but now I can't.
Anybody having same sort of problem. One colleague of mine is also having the same problem.
Please help me out.
My system's config is as follows:
Windows XP Home sp3
Flash Builder 4, with SDK 4.1, 3.5 installed in it.
Adobe Air v 2.5
1.5 GB RAM
1.66 MHz processor
Thanks

Hello chris,
Thank you for taking out your time to solve my problem.
I did all the steps mentioned in that link i.e. installed folder lock and uninstalled it from it's options only.
But it didn't solve my problem.
Here is the screenshot of the Blue Screen Of Death that I was presented while the application was being installed.
The BSOD appeared while the application install progress is shown to the end user.
I hope this will help you get more insight of the issue.
Thanks

Unable to install an Adobe AIR application with -location to correct path

Hi
Im trying to silent install an air app on the command line (Windows). But the path i use after -location is ignored.
This is the code im using:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe" "-silent" "-location" "C:\Program Files\my_app_name" "C:\Program Files\my_app_name.air"
What ever i add after -location isnt used and it gets added to the default location. Has anybody else found this?
Thanks
James

Thanks and see this article, the detail is not what is the command that allows me themassive installation of AIR application.

Air 2.0 in Flex Builder 3

I need to use the NativeProcess API available in Air 2.0 so went about doing this by including the Air2.0 SDK in Flex Builder 3 which gave me access to the APIs. I wrote my app and it worked beautifully within Flex Builder 3.
However, when I export a release build (.air file) and attempt to install it I get the following error:
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
This application requires an update to Adobe AIR that is not available for your system.
I have installed Air 2.0 on my system (done it several times to make sure).
I have the following namespace in my .xml file:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0beta">
Could this be the issue?
If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great.
Was looking forward to using the features offerred in Air2.0 but am at a stand still now.

Hi Neha,
Again thank you for your help but unfortunately still cannot get this working, I have resorted to using the exact files (except the swf) and instructions at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/interacting_with_native_process_print.html to try and get some sort of example of NativeProcess working and after some tweeking got it to build the exe but running it gives me the same error i started with:
"This application requires an update to Adobe AIR that is not available for your system."
One of the tweeks i made was to the namespace in the xml file, it had to be:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0beta">
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0 was not recognised running the adt command (got error 102: invalid namespace).
I really want to be able to get this working so I can determine if NativeProcess is the solution to my project.
Maybe if I explain my needs you could possibly offer a better, proven solution:
I have an existing Air desktop app (originally Air 1.0) that is invoked from the browser, I would like an additional feature to this app that executes a command line call to make something happen on the users machine - specifically add a track to the users iTunes library.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bilge.

Help Help Help please.....

He levancho.
Thank you for your help. I almost got it with your advice.
Putting it all together it is the following for me:
1) create an Adobe ID at https://cocomo.acrobat.com/
2) unzip CocomoSDK_0.91 and place that directory under your
eclipse_install_dir/plugins
3) create a new Flex Project
4) add the
eclipse_install_dir/plugins/cocomo../lib/player10/afcs.swc to Flex
Build Path / Library path in the project properties
5) Change Flex Compiler / Require Flash Player version to
10.0.0 in the project properties
6) Add the attached code as a test application ...
I found the following tutorial very helpful:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/cocomo_gettingstarted.html
Notice that I changed some namespaces since the given code
did not exactly work for me.
Thank you, Noam
