Silent AIR application installation fails on AIR 3.9

I install my AIR application silently using the following command :
"/Volumes/Install Test/Install Test.app/Contents/MacOS/Install Test" -silent -location "/Applications/ABC"
It worked fine till AIR 3.8. With the new AIR update 3.9, this command fails with exit code 2 and error "too many arguments"

Thanks Oliver. I uninstalled the application and then
uninstalled AIR 1.1. I then re-installed AIR 1.1 and attemped to
re-install the application. The error is still happening. Here is
the log file. Do you have any ideas?

  • When an air application installation fails

    It will not let go of the process under any circumstances. When it hangs there is no way to kill it short of restarting your computer. This is pretty damn awful.

    If the air installer automatically trys to run an air app that has a script error it will hang the installer and the runtime. There is no way to kill it, not even pskill will kill it. This makes iTunes look like high quality software in comparison.....

  • Adobe Air application installation using the bundled runtime installer

    Hello.
    We plan to develop application for different platforms with Adobe Air and testing installing Air applications with bundled runtime installer on different platforms. It's ok with Windows and Mac OS, but we got troubles with "silent" installation on Ubuntu OS 9.10.
    I tried to install Adobe Air application with bundled runtime, like in this document in part "Silent installation":
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html
    using command-line:
    "sudo ./MyInstaller -silent simple-air-air-application-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air"
    and installation fails. Installation log looks like this:
    [setup:2306][INFO] Runtime Installer begin with version 2.6.0.19140 on Linux x86
    [setup:2306][INFO] Commandline is: -silent simple-air-air-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air

    [setup:2306][ERR] Subprocess app installer failed (-1)
    [setup:2306][ERR] Runtime Installer end with exit code 7
    P.S. We tried do the same on Linux Mint 10. Everything's fine, application getting installed well.

    Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
    I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
    Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
    The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
    Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
    I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
    Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
    I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
    Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
    I'm stumped on this one :-(
    Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.

  • Adobe Air Application Installer.exe Documentation

    Hello All,
    i am having severe problems retrieving the documentation for "Adobe Air Application Installer.exe"
    We have applied as Publisher for Air Apps here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
    and filled out the form
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=air_distribution2
    After that we were hoping to receive documentation about seamless install of air applications, but we are waiting right now ...
    So, time is running out, and i need the documentation of the "Adobe Air App Installer.exe"
    So far i have managed to silently install an air app:
    '$1 -silent -programMenu -location "$INSTDIR" "$TEMP\AirApp.air"' $0
    Where $1 is the "Adobe Air Installer.exe" retrieved from the registry
    $INSTDIR is the installation target path
    $TEMP is a temporary folder, containing the to install Air Application
    the above command works fine for clean and empty systems with no prior versions of the application installed.
    what i now miss are the return code meanings, ranging from 0..9 where i only know that 0 means success !
    And i would like to have a documentation about the
    -update
    and the
    -uninstall
    parameters for seamless installation/deinstallation of a whole air app with data

    hi there,
    i got the documentation also, dunno why they make it so hard
    to get it
    thank you very much !
    greets from joymoney

  • Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe

    On my win xp pro sp3 machine from all the Adobe stuff
    following software installed only:
    - acrobat reader
    - flash player
    - shockwave player
    The Secunia scan tool noticed me recently I had old version
    of flash player.
    It is not right, some days ago just upgraded to 9.0.151.0.
    Why I am using the 9.x one see my other thread in the adobe
    flash player forum.
    In-depth analysis has shown that the old one is really
    present on my station:
    Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe is present on this
    machine and it keeps the old and
    vulnerable version of adobe flash player.
    What for ???????
    I didn't ever install the air application installer on my
    own.
    It must be one of other three applications I'm using
    intentionally.
    What of the three application named above has installed AIR ?
    And what for ?
    Why is nobody upgrading the vulnerable flash version attached
    to AIR ?
    How can I deinstall it ?

  • Adobe Air Application Installer on Utilities Folder

    I just got my first mac early this year so I still haven't gotten the hang of the Mac OS. Anyway, I installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 a few days back but I uninstalled it a few days after. I noticed when I opened my utilities folder I saw the following:
    Adobe Air Applications Installer
    Adobe Air Uninstaller
    Adobe Installer Folder
    Adobe Utilites Folder
    I can't remember if the files were there even before I installed the Adobe Photoshop CS4 program. Is it safe for me to remove these files? If it is, how do I remove them? Thanks!

    theoc3 wrote:
    I clicked the Adobe Air Uninstaller icon in my utilities folder and a pop up box appeared with the message:
    "Adobe AIR already installed. This version of Adobe AIR is already installed on your system"
    Figures
    Just move them to desktop, restart and see if you get any alerts.
    Also check in System Preferences for Version Cue and if you have it, turn it off.

  • Adobe AIR Application Installer command-line

    Could someone provide the command-line reference (parameters
    and usage) for Adobe AIR Application Installer?
    Tks!

    Hey Oliver!
    I've applied for an AIR distribution license but I still have
    some doubts.
    My application is based in one .air component and another one
    service created using C++. So, in order to install my application,
    I need to install both applications. I've used the bundled
    installation mentioned in the distribution docs, but it is not the
    best solution for my problem. I would like to have just one entry
    point in the “Add/Remove Programs” applet.
    Is there another way to deliver the .air application (e.g.
    not using the Adobe AIR Application Installer)?
    For example, is it possible get all files needed to create my
    .air file and install them without creating the .air file properly?
    I mean, is there any license or technical restrictions that
    invalidate this approach?
    Thanks!

  • Need better alternative to Adobe AIR Application Installer

    In order to build a double-clickable desktop application,
    apparently one has to use the Adobe AIR Application Installer. This
    is bad for a few reasons:
    It's not scriptable.
    It hard-wires the name of the swf file to load into the
    generated binary.
    For Mac OS X, the "swf launcher" should be a simple "launcher
    stub". The name of the swf file to load should be read from the
    Info.plist file. If it did this, then the stub could be the same
    for all applications. For Windows, there could be a simple XML
    config file in the same directory as the app that serves the same
    purpose as Info.plist on the Mac.
    I hope Adobe addresses this soon.

    How about creating your native launcher app with the whole
    AIR client in the Resources folder. When you launch your app it
    launches your server executable, then after its done its stuff it
    launches the AIR app.
    You could make the launcher app itself headless so you don't
    get two dock icons.
    This doesn't address the need to have a non-GUI alternative to
    the Air Application Installer so builds can be completely
    automated.
    It definitely breaks the drag-and-drop of a file onto the
    application's icon.
    I never said I have 2 Dock icons. (I already solved that
    problem by making the server "faceless" by setting LSUIElement to 1
    in the server's Info.plist.)
    Why do I want completely automated builds? Aside from the
    ease of just being able to type "ant" and press Return, any real
    development group has things such that a "build machine"
    automatically rebuilds the app (on all platforms) after ever
    developer check-in to check for accidental build breakage. Those
    builds also become available to QA for them to test.
    Ever time some new development tool comes out where the
    authors provide a GUI tool (presumably because they think GUI =
    easy), I have to wonder, "What were they thinking?" If the authors
    are themselves developers, how can they not see how crippling not
    providing an all-command-line tool-chain is? Don't all non-trivial
    development groups do automated builds as described above? The only
    answer I can think of is that some
    PHB
    somewhere thought it would be a "neat idea" to have an
    "easy-to-use" GUI application (because that sells to other PHBs).
    As to drag-and-drop: presumably, the swf launcher that gets
    generated properly handles drag-and-drop of files onto the
    application's icon and Does The Right Thing when it happens (where
    "right thing" usually means simply opening the document dropped
    onto the icon). Now, since my launcher gets launched instead, that
    breaks drag-and-drop unless I implement that functionality myself.
    The way I've implemented my launcher is such that, after the
    fork(), it's the parent process that exec's itself into the client
    thus keeping the original process ID. The hope is that Launch
    Services on the Mac, when handling and drag-and-drop event, will
    send said event to the original process -- which is now the client
    -- and everything Just Works. I have yet to get around to testing
    this (I'm busy with other things at the moment); but, if it turns
    out that my hope isn't fulfilled, well then I can fall back to
    keeping my launcher running to get and forward the OpenDoc
    AppleEvents from my launcher to the swf launcher.
    So, anyway, back to my original plea: Adobe,
    please just give us a command-line replacement for the Air
    Application Installer (preferably just a launcher stub that reads
    Info.plist). Thanks.

    Adobe AIR comes by default with Adobe Reader 9; you can download the AIR-less version from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe - or just uninstall Adobe AIR (from Add/Remove Programs).
    Adobe Flash Player may leave some ActivX remains behind if you don't uninstall before upgrading the Flash Player. You can delete the old OCX file manually.

  • Custom AIR application installer

    Hello,
    I have one question about air application installation process.
    Is there any way to build a custom air application installer?
    How it works now:
    First I've made air project, and when I start installation process (over badge swf file on the web site), I've going through next steps:
    - On the first step I can to open or save installation .air file.
    - After I click on the "open" button, I've getting the info about publisher and application, and I have "install" and "cancel" buttons.
    - After I click on the "install" button, I've getting more options, about desktop shortcut icon, installation location, and I have "contionue" and "cancel" buttons.
    - After I click on the "continue" button, the installation process begins.
    Is there any way to put some steps out from the air installation process. For example, to put out the third step?
    The best for us would be, if is possible, to integrate all questions in only one Accept or Cancel, make the most simple for user to install. Do you have advice how to do it?
    Thank you

    Not using a web install badge. What I have done in some cases is a first-run configuration setup UI as part of the app itself.
    You can create a custom native installer (not in AIR) for AIR apps using the captive runtime:
