Run Adobe AIR app as Windows Service

I have an app which monitors an RSS feed. Upon an emergency,
the RSS feed is updated. The app detects the change and launches
(from the taskbar/dock) full screen, plays an alarm sound and
displays the message.
Is it possible to run this app as a service (I know that
there are several software options to enable this) - my question is
directed towards launching the full screen warning. Can I utilize
the windowing API before a user logs in if the app runs as a
service?
I have tested this using a couple of those software options
with no success.
Does anyone else have any ideas or answers?

John, did you ever find a solution for running an Adobe AIR app as a Windows Service?

  • How to run Adobe Air App as Windows Service

    I am working on Adobe Air application. Everything about coding and configuration have been good so far but I have some major road blocks down the road:
    1. Schedule my application to run at certain time.
    2. Run the application in the System Tray like a Daemon app
    Does Adobe support for configuring the application to run in System Tray like a Gmail notifier app now? If it does, is it possible for me to have it configure for both Windows and Mac systems?
    If anyone has any pointers or tips, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Last night I got some time to try out your example from "Working with the dock and the system tray"
    It is really impressive to see how easy you can animate the icon on the taskbar, but it doesn't particularly achieve my goal to have a cross-platform taskbar app running.
    I tried to work with Java yesterday and got their Taskbar module working on both platforms. It solves the basic issue. But then I realize Java is missing the Webkits Adobe Air is offering. So I need two Apps in order to achieve the goal to re-use my web app on the desktop. Now I am considering to learn more about the extend feature you mentioned to let the Java application works like a remote control for the Air application's instances.
    So here are some of my current concerns: is it possible to be able to have input from java app into air application's elements? Does Adobe's intergrated runtime support incorporating Java as part of the app like it does with SWF and javascript? Or is there any bridge I can use to have the two applications communicate with one another?

  • Running an AIR app as a service.

    Hi, I'm trying to use the ServerSocket class in AIR to make a server of some sort.  The problem is that I cannot get it to run as a windows service.  I used "sc create" to create the service.  I don't call nativeWindow.activate, so there shouldn't be a UI.  The service is set to log on as my user.  But when I try to run it, I get "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".
    How can I get it to run as a service?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hi Sean,
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this question, but I'm hoping others in the community can help out.  Running AIR as a service has been a popular request, but not something we officially support at this time.  There have been a couple of feature requests made for this that I'd encourage you and others interested to go vote on:
    Run AIR app as a service on a server machine without user logon on the machine
    Register and run as Services on OS
    Googling "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" returns quite a few hits, with responses ranging from increasing time out lengths, changing logon account types, and many other service property tweaks.
    Please let us know if your able to get this to work and hopefully others can contribute their experiences as well.

  • AIR app as Windows Service

    Hi!
    I have one question.
    Is it possible to create AIR application which will work like
    Windows Service (start and stop by request from other
    application)?

    I'm not sure if this will work, or even why you'd want to do
    it...
    but there is a program in the Windows server resource kit
    called SRVANY.EXE
    which allows a normal exe to operate as a service

  • Adobe Air apps in Windows 10 app store

    Do the changes coming in the Window 10 app store provide any hope for air applications making there way in?

    Hi Juan Pablo,
    I was able to reproduce the problem, but, the behavior is the same regardless of whether the app runs on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. It's not that the problem only happens with the Windows 10 version of the app, since I see the same pixilation behavior on
    both versions of the app.
    Are you seeing a different behavior - meaning that the app renders the circle smoothly during transitioning on Windows 8.1, but pixelates on Windows 10?
    Thanks,

  • Problem running AIR app on windows server 2003

    Hello,
    I have an AIR app that I am trying to run from a Java program under Windows 2003. (It runs perfect on XP and Vista.)
    The problem is whenever I try to run the AIR app, it runs "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" which causes the app to not run. And both the process stop responding. I can see them both in Task Manager. I disabled the AIR automatic updates using the Settings Manager application but it still runs the Adobe AIR Updater.exe file.
    Any help to resolve this problem would be highly appreciated.

    Not sure about  copying eulaAccepted file from one location to another - that would really depend on which user account your service is running under.
    A better approach (IMHO), is to open the services window (My Computer | <right-click> | Manage, then navigate to Services and expand the tree) so you can see your service on the RHS.
    Stop your service, then inspect it's properties, select the 'Log on' tab, then check the checkbox which says "Allow system to interact with desktop". Apply the change, then restart your service.
    next time the AIR runtime prompts you to accept the EULA, the window will appear on the screen, so you can click "I accept".
    After accepting, reverse the procedure which allowed the service to interact with the desktop, and make sure that you have modified the registry to prevent AIR from updating as mentioned in:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3 d11c0f59823a-7ff0.html
    You should be all set.

  • No Adobe air app will run Only Flash Web browser....

    So I have re-installed Flash Builder So when I try and run a Adobe air app from the Flash Builder It brings up a prompt everytime saying - If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run. When I kill the Adobe Air debugger in the Task manager it pops up again saying If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
    After waiting a few moments from trying again I get a message: Unable to connect to the Application to fetch profile data. Please try profiling the application again.
    With Flash based - web browser apps - they run fine with no issue. How ever its only adobe air - desktop apps that run this way. This is the third time I have installed FB 4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit. last night it was all woprking fine I was able to debug my Flash Application and everything was working  - it has been doing this all day.

    I had the same issue suddenly today
    After hours of scratching my head - and just before re-installing FlashBuilder 4.5 - I found this suggestion
    I had an entry in the "mm.cfg" file:
    PreloadSWF=C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9us94hs0.default\e xtensions\[email protected]\chrome\content\flashfirebug\flashfirebug.swf
    - I deleted the line and it now works
    ---- aaarrrrggghhh - wasted time
    thanks

  • Error message when downloading adobe air app.

    I have according to the installation program successfully installed adobe air. I am now trying to download an adobe air app from Jacqui Lawson and keep getting the following message.
    "Sorry an error has occurred. The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author."
    I have read other comments regarding this matter and tried everything suggested so far. I am still having the same issue.
    I am running windows vista 32 bit. All firewall and anti virus are off, UAC is enabled, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and I have tried using a different browser. Can anyone suggest anything else to try.

    Many of us have encounted this issue. The problem is not confined to a particular version or computer operating. Many homemade remedies and scientific ones have worked for some and not others. The most recent fix was offered by an ID by the name of Maud Barbara and seems to have been the answer for that user and at least one more.
    Maud Barbara's fix can be found at the end of the very long thread on the subject found

    Hello 
    I had the same problem as you and I just d have the solution:
    go to C / program files (86) / common files/OOBE
    Rename OOBE by OLDOOBE
    and your problem is resolved
    You can reinstall the software
    What worked for me in this case was none of the above. How I and others navigated this installation problem is documented in the thread cited.

  • 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?

  • Running Adobe AIR applications without having Adobe AIR installed

    Is running Adobe AIR applications without having Adobe AIR
    installed possible?
    Why wouldn`t it be?
    And if not, when will it be possible?
    Thank you.

    There's no technical way this could be possible. It's like a
    .swf playing without the Flash Player installed, or a Java applet
    without the Java Virtual Machine. Or even like a Windows
    application running without Windows. :)
    There are, however, 3rd party wrappers out there to turn AIR
    apps into native OS apps (basically it wraps the AIR Runtime inside
    a native OS executable, like .exe). One that I can name off the top
    of my head is the Shu wrapper. This is like the old school Flash
    projectors, like Zinc and mProjector. The user doesn't have to
    install anything to run native executables.
    I would be surprised if Adobe has any plans to make an
    executable wrapper for AIR, but I don't know anything. I would like
    to see .air files be able to run in the AIR Runtime without having
    to actually install the .air package, though.

  • Telstra Air App For Windows 8.1 Phone

    When will Telstra be providing an Air App for WIndows 8.1 phone?

    I, for one, support this request - especially with the universal app situation and the developer tools available to help convert iOS and Android code to Windows, there really shouldn't be much blocking this app being released. By all means say you're not going to write a Windows Phone 8.1 app from scratch, but how about a Windows 10 Mobile universal app? This would run not only on phones, but also 3G/4G enabled Windows tablets. If your developers are not aware of these tools, please get them to take a look at developer.windows.com to be enlightened! Here's a link to the actual iOS and Android 'bridges' that can help migrate an app easily: https://developer.windows.com/en-us/uwp-bridges

  • Admin Rights for Adobe AIR apps

    Which Admin rights are needed on a system to install a .AIR file on a system? In our Enterprise scenario users do not have Admin rights on the system. And whenever user tries installing an AIR app an error is thrown for the same. I want to know what are the least (Admin) rights that we need to give to a user on a WindowsXP system so that he can install air apps?

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, there isn't a simple answer to this question because AIR isn't in complete comtrol over the full set of files and registry keys touched during an install - we rely on Windows Installer for that.  However you can find additional information about this at:
    Does Installing an AIR Application Require Admin Rights?
    What are Administrative Rights, Anyway?
    You might also want to vote for this idea: Installation of Adobe AIR apps without having administrative privileges

  • Will Adobe AIR apps work on iOS (Javascript/HTML)?

    Hello,
    I haven't been able to find any definitive answer on whether Adobe AIR apps using Javascript and HTML can work on iOS.
    Anyone know for sure?
    And if so, what happens with the APIs available through these swfs that we currently include:
    networkInfoWrapper.swf
    servicemonitor.swf
    applicationupdater_ui.swf
    Many thanks
    Stephen

    The answer is no. Apps developed for AIR using HTML and JavaScript are not supported on iOS or other mobile platforms. The mobile platforms do include a StageWebView component that can be used to load and display HTML and JavaScript. However, it is entirely different than the HTMLLoader control used on the desktop platforms (for HTML-based AIR apps). You cannot, for example, call any AIR/Flash APIs from JavaScript running in a StageWebView. In general, very little communication is possible between your ActionScript application code and the JavaScript code running in the StageWebView object.
