Installing an air application directly to user root directory 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:

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.

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
Raghu

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.

Translated it should be something like this (this is not the official English message):
Some error has occurred while trying to install this application. Install the latest Adobe AIR version from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair_es and try again.
I've tried to search anything related, because I can't find that exact error message in any Adobe troubleshooting page, but everything I can find is a really old version issue, or something I've tried without success (trying to install everything running as administrator, also via cmd.exe ran as administrator, installing an older version, uninstalling and installing 100 times Adobe AIR, etc.).
I've also searched (but not asked) in Warcraft Logs forums for any solution, but I couldn't find anything related either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance and best regards! ^^

Installing an AIR application with PackageMaker on OS X

Hello,
My company has signed the redistribution agreement and I've been working on building an installer using the PackageMaker application built into Mac OS X.
I'm seeing behavior where the installer fails every other time that it is run. The output from .airappinstall.log is below.
I've reproduced this behavior from the installer as well as by running the following command line:
sudo /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer -silent /MyApp.air
Has anyone seen this behavior before?

2 AIR applications directly communicating with each other in real time

Building a installation that requires 2 different kiosks to communicate with each other. I'd like to use Adobe AIR to create the individual applications.
My question is
Is it possible for 2 separate AIR applications to DIRECTLY communicate with each other in real time, without any server to act as mediator?
Ideally the only data that would be transferred would be json based.

Not sure whether this helps; http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/creating_socket_server.html

Can't install Adobe Air Applications!

Installed Adobe Air without problems - but when I try to
install any application it will restart my computer before
completing the install. Usually gets to the... "Would you like to
install desktop icons etc." then I click 'OK' and it reboots my pc.
Any tips? I'm mostly trying to install 'twitter apps' if that
helps... (all have done the same exact thing)

@Oliver Goldman.
Beta 3 release has been on my machine before but has been
removed. I've gone into the control panel and removed all Air apps
and checked that I've not got any other version of Air on my
machine.
I then tried the install and the log file outputted the same
message
"updater called with args:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
AIR\Versions\1.0.6\Adobe AIR Updater.exe,-installupdatecheck"
Is there a way of running a clean uninstall similar to the
way it can be done for the Creative Suite because for some reason
the installer thinks I've got the Beta on my machine.
I also tried the registry solution found
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=75&catid=697&threadid =1343058&enterthread=y
It worked for the earlier Beta but those keys are no longer
there.
Thanks for looking into the problem.

Installing an AIR application generated from a PHP script using a badge

I have written a PHP script to return a file with the Content-Type header set to application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip to simulate a response that looks like an AIR file. The Content-Length and Content-Disposition headers are also being sent. I am then writing the bytes of the file to the output. This appears to work in the browser, as the file downloads and can be installed. However, when the badge tries to use the URL, I get a Stream 2032 error. Does the AIR badge not allow a URL without an .air extension, even if the response is in the correct format for an AIR file? If this is allowed, are there other headers that need to be set for this to work?
Thanks,
Paul

I figured it out. The AIR installer was stripping out my query parameters. I made the URL use slashes for the parameters with a rewrite instead of ? and & it worked.

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.

Option to not create a shortcut when installing an AIR application

Hello Adobe AIR community,
Does anyone know if there is an option to not create a shortcut for an AIR application?
Currently, all I have found is an option to choose the location of the shortcut from within the start menu (in the application descriptor file, using the programMenuFolder option).
Thanks,
Mauricio

Ix4-300d FTP Users Root directory

Hi,
I configured FTP and it is working properly over my LAN using my Desktop machines.
While configuring my IP Cameras (with Basic FTP client functions) to upload via FTP their snapshots / movies, they can only access to FTP server root directory - which is not writable as it is not mapped to a shared directory.
My question - Can I change the root directory of my FTP Server (based on Logged-in User, i.e. cctv user) in order to be placed directly into one of my shares which I have dedicated for my IP-Cameras output?
I tried to search a lot for such option but couldn't find a way to configure it. I want the cameras to directly access my NAS as an FTP server without having an external machine running an FTP server / which is mapped to my NAS (which is working fine).
Thank you and best regards,
Hassan

There is not a way to change the ftp port as it is fixed to port 21. What ftp client are you using? The issue might be because of the client or browser you are using. I would recommend using FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/) because this program supports our ftp protocol. If FileZilla still only shows the root directory, you might want to check the settings on your camera or it may not be compatible.
