AIR application on Windows Server 2003

Hi!
We have developed an AIR application.
It is installed on Windows Server 2003.
It communicates with blazeds server application on other machine.
But communication does not pass through to this server.
Everything works fine on Windows XP.
So we suspect on Windows Server 2003 security settings.
How can Win Server 2003 be configured so that communication succeeds?
(amfsecure, https web service).
Thanks!

Joe,
If your application is running in Windows than it is not running in true realtime and you cannot make it a real-time startup executable. In LabVIEW 8.0 and later you can create a debuggable executable, with which you can see the block diagram of an executable. This Knowledge Base Article talks about how to automatically launch a VI at startup, which sounds like what you are looking for. Here is a link to the Real Time Module for LabVIEW.

Automatic startup of AIR application on Windows startup

Yes. See this topic in the AIR documentation:

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.

SharePoint PowerShell script to open Excel.Application on Windows server 2008 R2

Hi
I am building a PowerShell script to open an Excel file store on SharePoint document library. Sound simple enough but I just couldn't get over an error and hopefully someone can help give an answer here.
I have found many sample codes to use. All of the sample codes show that a new object must be created for Excel application
like ($Excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application) before that excel file can be read.
When I run this comand on a SharePoint server (Windows 2008 R2) either inside the script or by itself I keep getting the following error:
New-Object : Cannot load COM type Excel.Application.
+ $excel = New-Object <<<< -Com Excel.Application
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
For the test, I ran this comand on a Windows 7 with MS Office applications installed, then it ran fine.
Is that because I don't have Office application (Excel) installed on the server to run this or some services need to be turned on?
From the sample codes, look like I should be able to run it on the Server with SharePoint installed.
Thanks for any advice or solution to resolve my issue.
Swanl

So I'm assuming this won't return anything either?
Get-WMIObject Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting | ? {$_.VersionIndependentProgId -like 'excel.application'}
You need Office/Excel installed on the server because you're accessing those .DLLs for the automation functionality, but depending on what you're trying to do you may be able to use one of the office viewers:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10 although I'm not sure how much of the com (if any) is exposed in a viewer install. if Office is not possible due to
budget reasons, I believe there are several 3rd party providers who can produce a com object that will handle Excel formats.

Can't update AIR application on Windows XP service pack 3

We've run into another AIR update issue with our AIR 2.0.4 sidecar product.
Our application uses the standard ApplicationUpdater.checkNow() method to look for and download updates. Just such an update was issued recently, and one of our team members has reported an issue attempting to download the new update on a Windows XP service pack 3 machine.
They are getting an Error 16818.
Thanks for any insight.

Hi,
Error 16818 is "IO error while saving data to disk". Is there any way we could get the installer log from this machine? It might give us additional clues.
Thanks,
Chris

Opening an application in a new window

Hi,
I have an ordinary java class, which has access to request and response objects.
From here, I need to open a third party application in a new window.
Please let me know how I can do this.
Thanks,

do you mean a new window as in a browser? if so you could use javascript:
<INPUT type="button" value="Open new application" onClick="window.open('http://www.sun.com')>

AIR application installation error (Windows)

Hi,
We’ve bumped into troubles while developing AIR
application. The problem is in installation AIR application under
Windows by a user without administrator privileges. When installing
application user selects installation folder he has permission to
write to. And after installation begins it ends with error #0: Some
error occurred...
In the installation troubleshooting it is written that
installation of AIR application *may* require administrator
privileges when installing to a location user has no rights to
write to but we do.
Is there any way to install AIR application by an
unprivileged user?

My understanding is you can do elevated installation on
Vista, but not on XP.

Testing adobe air applications with fake apple certificate in iOS simulator running in a hackintosh

I can compile an Adobe Air application on windows with a fake apple certificate. Can I test this application in iOS Simulator running on a hackintosh? Or is the simulator blocking testing of IPA outside from XCode ie: it's not a standalone simulator for IPA files. Are there any affordable web service for testing IPA with a true emulator or real device? I'm asking this because Flash Builder doesn't provide a true simulator, it lacks essential API functions such as NativeWindow.

Hello,
thanksk so far. I can now create an ANE, hopefully it is correct...
Now, while trying to use it in my mobile application, calling the Constructor of my SWC interface > call initNativeExtension() I get an:
Type Error #1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
It seems that my code cannot load the ANE because I cannot instatiate the extension object.
Can you help me ?

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.

Screen recording of AIR app on Windows desktop

I have developed an Adobe AIR application for windows desktop that runs at 60fps, full HD (classic display list, not Starling). I would like to record this app being used for promotional purposes, and have tried Camtasia and Action! Recorder (with software encoders), but neither of these achieve the required frame rate.
My PC configuration is:
i7-3930K @ 3.20GHz
32GB RAM
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
2 x NVidia GT 440 graphics cards
500GB SSD
If I upgrade my Nvidia graphics card to one of the newer models, such as a Geforce GTX 970, I can make use of the NVENC technology that provides hardware video encoding of DirectX or the Windows desktop. Action! Recorder apparently supports the NVENC technology on the Nvidia cards, to provide improved video recording.
Does anyone have any experience of using NVENC to record Adobe AIR desktop applications that use classic display list, rather than Starling, and can I expect to record a decent frame rate?

Anyone?

Opening a finder/windows explorer window from an AIR application?

I'm evaluating AIR right now and going through as much
documentation as I can find. Is there a way to open up an OS file
browsing window? For instance, after writing a file to an arbitrary
directory, could you open that director (preferably with the file
selected) in OS X's Finder or Windows Explorer? Obviously this is
possible in a native application (Lightroom does it, among others),
but I can't figure out if it's possible with an AIR
application.
