OSX install error: "Adobe AIR Already installed"

I'm having an issue with Adobe AIR installer on my Mac.
Having already uninstalled a previous beta, I am presented with an
error message whenever the 1.0 installer is launched: "Adobe AIR
Already installed on this system". Of course, that is not the case
and for the life of me I can't get this blasted version to install.
So my Mac is running out of AIR, and so am I.
Any ideas?

You can enable installer logging (
http://blogs.adobe.com/simplicity/2007/10/air_installer_logging.html)
to find out why the installer thinks AIR is already installed.
Most likely, however, it is. Check /Library/Frameworks and
see if Adobe AIR.framework is already there.

Adobe AIR Seamless Install Badge PROBLEM

Hello,
my air badge installation stop working few days back (do not know exactly how many).
Has anybody else this issue here?
Any advice probably.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the Reply.
After quite a bit more testing and some digging around under the hood, I've solved the problem. Below is what I found out, hopefully this will help others out with the same problem:
When downloading Air and the Air app in one go using the install badge, trying to open an SQL connection was throwing errors on most machines (it was not limited to Macs alone). If i down loaded Air separately, then installed the app with install badge (with air already installed) it worked on some machines.
The error was caused by trying to create the database file at the wrong in the file system:
// Causes Errors some machines.
var dbFile:File =File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath (databaseName);
// Works fine.
var dbFile:File =File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath (databaseName);
I'm not sure why the different installation process showed up the errors on some machines and not others, but it's fixed now.
Hope this helps.

Adobe AIR re-install error

Can someone help me with this error please.
"this installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance"
It happened when I went to HELP in illustrator CS5 on Mac. I started to update it but now I get this when I go to HEPP or SUPPORT.

This article from adobe should help:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403150.html
Try this first though:
-Drag to trash ALL air applications like Adobe Media Player and Community help client under /Applications and /Applications/Adobe.
-Uninstall AIR, using the Uninstaller App ( located in /Applications/Utilities )
-Delete the following directories if still there:
/Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/
/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/
Now install AI again.

Every time I try to install Adobe Reader, I get error message "object already installed". Tried all the fixes and suggestions.

Every time I try to install Adobe Reader, I get error message "object already installed". Tried all the fixes and suggestions. I need help.

If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add. Just in case: did you really try using this tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to first eliminate all traces of Reader, and then use the full offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/?

Can't install air dmg on mavericks if air runtime is not installed : Error 2004 during the install

Hello,
I made a dmg with the flex 4.6 and i can't install it if adobe air is not installed.
It works fine if adobe air is installed.
I'm on mavericks.
Have you ever seen that ?
Best regards.
Cyrille

Could you please open a new bug report on this over at https://bugbase.adobe.com? When adding the bug, please include your native installer so we can quickly test this out internally. If you'd like to keep this private, feel free to email the attachment to me directly ([email protected]).
Once added, please post back with the URL and I'll follow up internally.

Need Adobe Air To Install Adobe Air

While trying to install another product my MacBook Pro i7 OS X verizion 10.7.2 informed me that it needed Adobe Air to install completely, so i travled to the Adobe page and downloaded Adobe Air, when trying to install this product I was informed that Adobe Air needed Adobe Air to be installed.

Attention Mac 10.7.2 users that are crashing with Adobe AIR
We are aware of the crashing that can occur with late model Apple computers running 10.7.2 and are working closely with Apple to address this. In the meantime here are a couple of workarounds you can use:
Open System Preferences, select Energy Saver and disable Automatic graphics switching (or use a third party GPU switcher, such as gfxCardStatus and enable the Nvidia GPU)
Before launching your AIR based application, launch either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this resolved soon.

Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

Win 7 64bit
I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed. The active x widget says not player is installed. It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
How can I install the program?

Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not. I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and run both installers from
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Requires me to install programs that are already installed

I keep trying to install Google voice but it keeps asking me to install it even days after I installed it. Same with the Netflix Microsoft Silverlight that is needed to play the instant queue. Why does it ask me to install programs that are already installed. I already uninstalled them and reinstalled them but that did not work either. PLEASE HELP!

There's a new version 5.7.1. If you click on install, it will install the new version in lieu of 5.7.

Adobe Air Not Installing - Admin account needed to install error

I am on a Windows Vista computer with over 100GB of harddrive space left. I continue to get Adobe Air install errors. I have:
uninstalled from programs and Adobe Air is not showing up so that is good.
removed all references from Adobe Air from registry keys
installed Windows Program Clean Utility and confirmed Adobe is not showing up.
I am logged in as the only account that has admin rights to the computer.
I have restated and still continue to get same error for Adobe AIR 1.5.2 Installer program.
It keeps on saying install not succesful. You need admin rights to install Adobe Air.
What do I do? How do I install Adobe Air? I have confirmed with Dell that computer is okay. Internet connectivity is great to and no other programs having issue.

Kyle thanks for the idea and I thought that was going to work but it unfortunately did not. I did right click and chose the run as administrator option but still got the error that read:
An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator.
Attached is a screenshot and not sure what else to do. This is a home computer that only has me as a user on it so I am the administrator.

I receive the error, "Sorry, an error has occured." When I try to install my Adobe AIR application.

Jeff,
I'm having the same problems when trying to download any Adobe products.

Niadee I branched your discussion out to a new thread as it does not appear to be related to trying to install Adobe Download Assistant in Mac OS 10.8.2. Are you receiving this error when you are trying to install the Adobe Download Assistant? Also what version of Windows do you have installed?

Problem with installing/uninstalling Adobe AIR on Windows 7 x64

I encounter problem while trying to do anything with AIR. I cannot uninstall Adobe AIR using default uninstaller or install any AIR software because the message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found" is popping up.
I tried to remove Adobe AIR with Revo Uninstaller and installing the AIR again but it didn't help. Revo Uninstaller removes all files and registry entries successfuly. After such reinstalation of Adobe AIR all the files in c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe AIR seems healthy and registry entries are added as well.
I tried Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It tool, Windows Install Clean Up - didn't work.
My whole log is below, I did a couple of trial today (2013-02-08).

Getting Adobe Reader already installed when I try to re-install. How can I get it re-installed??

Windows XP SP3
I had a problem printing an invoice from
a vendor and it was suggested that we should have the most current versions on the
Adobe software installed. I un-installed Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) and Adobe Flash Player and
any other Adobe product. When I bring up the add/remove programs screen, it shows that
Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) is installed and that the update cannot be removed.
When I try to re-install, I get the error that Adobe Reader X is already installed, even though it
has been removed from the registry.
What can I do to get Adobe Reader X re-installed??

This is basically the same problem that double0eight is having.
Not all of Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) gets uninstalled. There is one program that is left that says that it cannot be uninstalled.
If this is the case, how can anyone re-install Adobe Reader X?? Now I am really stuck unless I use another software product.
Does anyone have any idea on hwo Adobe Reader X can be un-installed?
Thanks.

Adobe Air update install fails

I have been using Acrobat.com as a desktop application. As of
today, every time I launch the application, I get an update
notification about an update for the Adobe Air platform for
Acrobat.com. When I click to update, the installation fails, and
the error message tells me to contact the autor of the application.
Do you know anything about this?

I have Acrobat.com installed on my system and I became aware
of an update which I understand to be called Acrobat.com AIR.
I downloaded Acrobat.com AIR but when it was installing, a
message appeared which read, "Same version as installed version."
Then I was given the option to "Un-install", the currently
installed Acrobat.com, "Save" or "Cancel".
Since I wasn't sure of the outcome, I canceled the process to
play it safe. Was I being overly cautious?
