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.

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>

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

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.

Populate fields from a php script

Hi,
I am trying to populate text fields from a PHP script right into Acrobat Reader.
Lets not talk about database just yet, I just want to know how to take a variable in PHP right to the livecycle designer form.
I have seen many things like submitform(), using http posts, etc but I cant get it to work.
Thank you in advance.

If you want to fill the LiveCycle Designer form, then you need to render it with the datafile.
The datafile can be an XML file or a webservice or Database.
You cannot directly fill the PDF from a PHP script. What you can do is, have a LiveCycle Process created in Workbench and then invoke the Process from PHP application by passing the information. The Livecycle process will merge the data with the template and return the PDF to the client application.
There is an other feature in Acrobat PRO that you can import an XML file directly into a PDF but that is a manual effort. You can not link that to a PHP Script.
Thanks

Return from a PHP Script

Hi,
I'm trying to get PHP and Flex to work with one another. I
know that my program is getting the result, because if I change the
XML to be invalid, my program will throw an error that says just
that. However... I can't use the data that I am getting back from
the PHP script. I have a the [httpService].lastResult.[blah].[blah]
bound to a datagrid, but no matter what I try it isn't showing up.
I've tried calling the httpService send() on both creationComplete
and a button click.
Any ideas what my problem could be? The documentation isn't
helping me any :(

Please post your code for your dataGrid and your PHP or a
sample of the returned XML. Without code, it is hard to say where
the problem is, but it seems like the issue is in your
[httpService].lastResult.[blah].[blah] syntax. It helps to set a
result event for PHP calls that you then bind to your dataGrid
rather than using the lastResult method which is hard to debug:
private function phpResult(evt:ResultEvent):void {
myDataGrid.dataProvider = evt.result;
But post your code and I'm sure we can figure out the
problem.

Hi Antoni, you can delete the 'mx:request' section and pass
the 'registrationModel' object into the send parameters.
Code should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

public function submitForm():void {
formSender.cancel();
formSender.send(registrationModel);
//formSender.showBusyCursor = true;
Alert.show("Your request has been send successfully.", "Send
Report", Alert.OK , this);
//resetForm();
private function getResultOk(r:Number,event:Event):void{
if(!r){
Alert.show('Error sending data!!');
return;
Alert.show( String(this.formSender.lastResult) );
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="formSender"
url="
http://www.yourdomain.com/mailer.php"
method="POST" showBusyCursor="true" useProxy="false"
result="getResultOk(1,event)"
fault="getResultOk(0,event)" >
</mx:HTTPService>
<mx:Model id="registrationModel">
<firstname>{firstname.text}</firstname>

Getting the output from a Perl script using Runtime.exec

I cannot get the output from a perl script using Java. Can someone PLEASE help?
I used the following code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe script.pl) ;
InputSream in = p.getInputStream();
b...
do
System.out.println(b);
while ((b = in.read()) > 0)
But there is no way that I get the output in the inputstream. If I use the command "cmd script.pl", the output is displayed in the Dos box, but also not in the inputstream.
I will appreciate any help.

Try this
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe script.pl) ;
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String str;
while((str=rd.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(str);

Can't install air app generated from Flex

Hi, I have just installed the new Flex Builder 3 on my
Windows Vista Home Premium. One of the first thins I did was to
create a very simple air project (one centered button only). I
inmediately exported it as an *.air file to my desktop to see it
run! but it fails!!! Every time I run it, just after display
"Getting ready to install this application" this error ocurs:
Sorry, an error has ocurred. "The application could not be
installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR
file from the application author."
By the way, I installed the last air runtime from the net and
installed and run perfectly well some air apps downloaded from the
net.
Any ideas?

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,

I'm seeing behavior where the installer fails every other time that it is run. The output from .airappinstall.log is below.

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.
