OMG, after last AIR update before current ALL my AIR apps will not work, HELP!

Question

I have 5 or 6 AIR based apps after I did an update last month, none of them will work. I just re-installed and updated AIR again today and re-installed all the apps multiple times and when I go to one it trys to open the last I installed for every app it only opens the last installed. App installions always end with "faled to open app" and in the log I see this "Error: Missing necessary file META-INF/AIR/application.xml" not sure?
Windows 7 (all lastest updates)
Latest Air (13.057 I believe?)
How do I fix this, why did it break?
Full log:

Answer 1

Hello,
I could install and run the AIR application successfully with AIR 4.0, 12.0 and 13.0.
Looking into the log, it seems that "missing application.xml" and "Application Installer end with exit code 7" issues have been there from 2014-02-09, below is the detailed log seen from http://ge.tt/2IDeU4b1/v/0?c. This issue maybe caused by the application.
Is there an application.xml under C:\Program Files (x86)\YourApplicationXXX\META-INF\AIR\ ?
If possible, could a bug against this issue be logged in https://bugbase.adobe.com/, and upload the AIR application which does not work. That would be very helpful to triage and find the root cause for this issue.
Thanks your support!
