This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found

Hi All,
Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, all of my AIR applications (like TweetDeck) fail with the above message.
I've tried uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling AIR several times, but the problem it's still there.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
Edo.
PS. Crash info attached.

Scholarpack,
Thank you for your answer.
I don't think that's the problem, because no application runs.
On the other hand, I tried to download an older AIR version (last one is 1.5.2.), but I couldn't find it. Do you know where can I get a previous version?
Cheers.
Edo.

Cant install or uninstall Adobe Air. Keep getting error message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found"

I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe AIR for Flixster. When I tried to open Flixster I recieved an error message saying i needed to install Adobe AIR. I looked and saw that according to control panel, Adobe AIR is installed. I attempted to uninstall but get this EXACT message:
"This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version."
I have tried going to the mentioned website but i get an error message saying installation failed and may need administrative privilages but I AM the administrator!
I then tried multiple solutions on the forums including the command prompt uninstall and still no luck. contacted customer support who told me i can only receive assistance through these forums.
Very frustrating. Please Help.

I have the same issue with a customer of ours:
Try to uninstall AIR – same message. (When I reinstall, the install says it’s successful.) I try to run our app, same message. I downloaded another AIR app, same message – so it’s not our app it’s AIR. We logged in as Administrator, same message. It’s a Windows7 machine. I did a system restore to 2 days ago and started over and still the same issues. I tried running the Windows Fixit to uninstall https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall – didn’t work.

This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which can not be found

After installing Adobe AIR 3.7 on a new computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and try to use applications that need this program, I get a warning window with this message: This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which can not be found. Download the latest version of runtime at http:// .......
When trying to uninstall it stops me with the same message described above. I managed to uninstall it by using a specific software to uninstallations, which it does, but to re-install the same thing happens. Also try it with AIR 2.6. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR. Microsoft has released a utility that can help resolve installation problems. Would you mind giving this a try and let us know how it works for you? When running the Fix it, go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system. Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.
Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It
Another alternative is to create a new, temporary user account and install AIR from there. Once installed, go back to your normal account and try running your AIR app again.

AIR 4.0 captive runtime won't run: "requires a version of Adobe AIR" alert

I'm creating an AIR captive runtime application, and it won't run on a target Windows* machine. It displays the following alert instead:
This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of this runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version.
How can I package the captive runtime differently so it won't display this message? The application is a pure ActionScript app compiled with the adt binary from the standalone SDK (this is not Flex).
In addition, I'm disturbed that a captive runtime AIR application pings Adobe in any way. I am seeing occasional pings to an adobe site upon launch of the app (something like airdownload2.adobe.com, if I remember correctly). No I'm not using any service calls in my app at this point in development, it's very simple, and should not be pinging the net at all. Why is this happening? I need to disable this too.
* Problem occurring only on a particular Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit machine. Unfortunately, this is the end client's machine so I can't tinker with it.

Do you have access to the problematic machine? If so, maybe you could try to install Sysinternal's Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
Run the tool, create filter to see just events containing your app name and try to find in the result any issue... you could also compare the log with same log from not problematic machine or with app made with older SDK which was working.
That's all what I can do... it's a shame that nobody from Adobe is interested yet... maybe you could also submit a bug.

Application Is Running On A Version of Adobe AIR Which Is No Longer Supported?

"This application is running on a version of Adobe AIR which is no longer supported. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from..."
This is the message I get when I try opening an F4V. file. I never had this issue in the past. I tried going to the website to update my version of Adobe AIR, and it says I cannot, since it's already up-to-date. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Android: This app requires a newer version of Adobe AIR - update now?

Trying to run an app on the Emulator for Android:
and I get this message.
This app requires a newer version of Adobe AIR - update Adobe AIR now?
of course when I do click on the Update button - nothing happens, it just goes back to the main screen of the Emulator.
How do I update it. I now know how to install Adobe AIR runtime into the Emulator, but I can't find how one updates it?
I only installed "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219" a few days ago...
thanks

Ok, got it.
Anyone else need help .. you can get the latest runtimes here.

"This Application requires Adobe Air to be installed"

"This Application requires Adobe Air to be installed" eventho i do have Adobe Air installed & updated

Hopefully somebody can help me out here
Thanks in advance

No No, Sorry aha I installed Windows 8, which was fine. I didnt like it much so I tried doing a system restore assuming I could just go back to Windows 7 (What my friend told me). I found out eventually I couldnt obviously, but before I found out I figured the "Reset Your PC" option would be like a system restore and would go back to Windows 7. All my Programmes got deleted, which I was fine about so I just went to go install them again but Photoshop is telling me I cant install it due to not having the system requirements. But the only requirement I believe I dont have is Windows 7, but like I said before... I've seen others with Windows 8 having Photoshop..
A system Image Backup, nope.. I dont. My friend told me that it was just a trial and I would go back to Windows 7 once the trial is up. (I should do my own research in future)
I hope this was clear enough, again it's pretty late and I'm just stressed over loosing everything. Thank you for getting back to me so soon also - Any other tips on how to maybe get it? I dont think I have any traces of Adobe left since all my programmes got deleted, the only other thing I have is Adobe Flash.

Android - This application requires adobe air

I have made an android app and installed on the device.
i have searched the android market for the Adobe Air runtime and cannot find it.
when i debug the app it says
"This application requires adobe air. Install Adobe Air now?"
but when i click the install button the response back is
! Not Found
The requested item could not be found.
any ideas please.

i think it is something to do with installing the runtime from the cmd prompt
-e install -r <runtime.apk>

Tried to install latest version of adobe air using file hippo, this didn't work so uninstalled adobe air in the hope of reinstalling but this didn't work either.

Hi,
I tried to install an update for adobe air 11 yesterday, at the end of the process I got the message "An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
After I click close, Windows Program Compatability Assistant opens saying "This program might not have installed correctly" and offers to "Reinstall using recommended settings".
When I click on "Reinstall using recommended settings", the same message comes up about the error and contact the administrator.
I use Google chrome and FileHippo update checker, I have also uninstalled the version of adobe air that was on my computer in the hope I could install the current version but unfortunately the error message is all I get.
If you need any further information I will be happy to help, although I have forgotten how to do a screenshot.
Regards,
Helen Smith.

A reply to myself! Thanks to Adobe support I needed to update the Adobe Applications Manager to the Creative Cloud App which so far appears to have fixed the problem

This application requires version 6.3.9600.16384 of the Windows ADK. Windows 8.1 PRO OEM

Hi,
i am trying to sysprep a machine and i need to create the unattended xml file.I downloaded the Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 (update) and need to generate the answer file.Whenever i select the "install.wim" file from my Windows dvd (copied
to a writeable destination) , it gives me an error : "This application requires version 6.3.9600.16384 of the Windows ADK." .
I already found a forum post regarding this issue (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/69cd6ddd-fab6-4986-bd70-52ce894f37c2/creating-unattendxml-for-windows-8?forum=mdt)
, saying that the Windows ADK for 8.1 PREVIEW is needed but this link is removed from the website.
Can i still download this version somewhere or what is the solution?I already tried to slip in some update packages in the wim file (following this link : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn622020.aspx
) but no result, it seems that the version installed on my machine is not compatible with the newest 8.1 ADK.
I already tried to sysprep the machine with /oobe /generalize /shutdown (without an unattend xml file) , but when i reboot the system i get an error "windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for
pass [specialize]. a component or non-list settings is specified more than once in the answer file".
What is the solution for this problem ?
F.

The link you presented above is a mess.
The idea of going back to the "PREVIEW" version of the ADK makes no sense to me, unless.. you are running a preview version. Which is silly.
Please be aware that there are *DIFFERENT* sub-build versions of the Windows 8.1. My version of the ntoskrnl.exe shows build 6.3.9600.17630.
Please be aware that there are also different versions of the Windows 8.1 ADK. If you are unsure if you have the latest version, please uninstall the ADK, and download again from MSFT.

Error Window in Release Version of Adobe AIR

Is there a way to turn on the error window in the release
version of Adobe AIR?
When running my AIR application from in Flex Builder I get a
window with error details when an error occures. Is there some way
to to get this window and error details when running my installed
AIR app? I have the Adobe AIR 1.1 installed. Is there another
version of Adobe AIR 1.1 which has this error window in it?

You cannot catch these errors. However, you can use the
following unsupported method with AIR 1.1 to enable debug mode for
the installed applications.
Please note that we don't promise this will work in any
future release, and it won't work if either the DRM or ELS APIs are
used by your application. Also, it has a negative impact on
performance.
To enable debug mode for installed applications: First find
the installed location of the application. Then, find the
"application.xml" file inside that directory. Create an empty file
called "debug" next to application.xml. The next time the
application is started, it will launch in debug mode, as if run
from adl.

Pls install latest version of Adobe AIR-something went wrong

When I try to open an episode in Photoshop CS5 Feature Tour () http://tv.adobe.com/watch/photoshop-cs5-feature-tour/terry-whites-favorite-things-about-cs 5-design-premium/) an AIR error message pops up saying:
Something went wrong trying to install this application. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again.
I have downloaded the program from that site, uninstalled AIR and reinstalled the downloaded version to no avail. It just keeps popping up. I click OK on the pop-up error message and the video plays just fine. But it is an annoying pop-up that just won't go away.
What gives.
Roxy

No, I bloody hate that feature of Vista and turned it off long ago!
I think you’re on the money with the permissions thing because the digging around on the net, which I read seems to points to that.
But as I say there is loads of conjuncture and advice but no solutions

New version of Adobe Air

Does the new version of Adobe Air support page level help. I
know the old version doesn't but was wondering if they fixed that
in the new version.
Thanks.
Bill

Hi Praful
I believe what is meant is a context sensitive call. Perhaps
one is on the Save As dialog of their application. They desire to
press F1 and have the page explaining this dialog display in the
AIR help instead of the default start page.
Cheers... Rick
