Unattended install of a .air applications - how to

I have a Adobe Air application ( .air) that I need to install across multiple machines.
Is there anyway to do a unattended install?
This would be on Mac OS Based computers and I have access to Apple Remote Desktop so I can copy and start the installer application on each machine, but right now it stops at the security screen like the one shown below and I have to visit each computer to complete.
Thank you
Mark

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.
My NSIS script is below.

Blue screen of death while installing any Adobe Air application

Whenever I try to install an Air application I get a Blue Screen and then my system restarts.
I cannot even take a screenshot of it.
This happens with every air application I try to install.
I also searched for the same on Adobe forums and found the same problem being faced by someone else.
His problem was resolved by uninstalling a software named "Folder Lock".
I searched my hard disk for this software and found one, so I deleted that software (shift+delete) and removed all it's traces from registry too but that still doesn't solved the problem.
I also tried disabling the antivirus software and then install the air application but this also didn't helped.
I was able to install air applications earlier, but now I can't.
Anybody having same sort of problem. One colleague of mine is also having the same problem.
Please help me out.
My system's config is as follows:
Windows XP Home sp3
Flash Builder 4, with SDK 4.1, 3.5 installed in it.
Adobe Air v 2.5
1.5 GB RAM
1.66 MHz processor
Thanks

Hello chris,
Thank you for taking out your time to solve my problem.
I did all the steps mentioned in that link i.e. installed folder lock and uninstalled it from it's options only.
But it didn't solve my problem.
Here is the screenshot of the Blue Screen Of Death that I was presented while the application was being installed.
The BSOD appeared while the application install progress is shown to the end user.
I hope this will help you get more insight of the issue.
Thanks

Hi, Jeff;
Make sure you have compiled your application as 32 bit, and not "any cpu".
See this document for some more info: [64|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e&overridelayout=true]

Multi Window AIR Application - How to Call

Hi All,
I am new to Adobe AIR so please forgive my ignorance. I want
to create a multi-window air flex application. The scenario is like
I have a window with menu options. When user selects a menu option,
I have to open another window with corresponding application in it.
I have created two applications inside a flex project. Each
application has <mx:WindowedApplication> as its root
component. My question is how to call the 2nd application from the
1st one? I tried SWFLoader but does not seem to work. Any help is
creatly appreciated.

You only want a single WindowedApplication component in an
AIR application. For the other windows, use the Window component.
You can then create this window object in response to the user's
menu selection. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/launching_windows.html
for examples of opening windows.

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?

Translated it should be something like this (this is not the official English message):
Some error has occurred while trying to install this application. Install the latest Adobe AIR version from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair_es and try again.
I've tried to search anything related, because I can't find that exact error message in any Adobe troubleshooting page, but everything I can find is a really old version issue, or something I've tried without success (trying to install everything running as administrator, also via cmd.exe ran as administrator, installing an older version, uninstalling and installing 100 times Adobe AIR, etc.).
I've also searched (but not asked) in Warcraft Logs forums for any solution, but I couldn't find anything related either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance and best regards! ^^

Can't install air application from website

I am trying to install an Adobe Air application from a local
web page using badge but get the "Something went wrong trying to
install this application"
When I click on the .air file directly all works ok
One thing I've noticed is that if I try to launch the .air
file from the browser, it doesn't to know what program to use to
open the file as buttons on the (Do you want to save this file or
find a program online to open it) dialog are Find, Save and Cancel
(Not Open).
I've checked the file extensions in Internet Tools and the
program for .air is Adobe Air Application Installer which I assume
is correct.
I've also checked that the MIME entry is correct on IIS
I'm running on a 32bit machine with Vista Business and using
IE7
Can anyone help me please, I've been stuck on this for
ages

Installing AIR application gives blue screen of death

I tried installing an Adobe AIR application called HelloWorld.air from a book entitled "Adobe Flex 3 Training from the Source", and I would get the Windows' blue screen of death. I've seen others post about this, so I know I am not alone. My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP 2 and above.
This issue is preventing me from even getting into Adobe AIR application development, and I was wondering when a fix for this will be made. I tried downloading the Adobe AIR runtime again, but it is still the same byte size as the previous one I downloaded, so I'm assuming it's still the same one (since it doesn't state any version number).
Is there anyone who has had this problem and was eventually able to work with Adobe AIR? Any response would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks.

I remember when I was getting BSODs the first time I tried installing an
.AIR application on my laptop, I got that "Send Error Report" window from
Microsoft, and I had clicked to send it. It came back with a report stating
that this was being caused by anti-virus software. This time around, I
turned off my anti-virus software (from CA, or Computer Associates) I
downloaded your application and tried to install it, and once again, I only
got as far as where I could select to save an icon to my desktop and/or to
launch the application after install, and when I clicked the "Install"
button, I got the BSOD right away.
I went the extra mile this time though. I installed Adobe AIR and your
application on another desktop that is totally clean with absolutely no
antivirus software whatsoever, not even a software firewall. I got the same
BSOD at the exact same spot.
I know Adobe knows about this because of a past thread I had not only read,
but responded to as well. It's just unfortunate it hasn't been fixed yet
because I'm really raring to start writing Adobe AIR apps.
By the way, Damon, your app looks nice, I just wish I had been able to
install it to see what it's all about. Lastly, thank you for responding to
my issue. I will report this as a bug on that link you gave me.

Error updating AIR application on Linux

Hello,
I'm trying to update an AIR application that's already installed, and I'm getting the following error message every time:
"The application could not be installed because another application is already being installed. Complete the first installation before proceeding with this one."
There doesn't seem to be any other installation happening, and I still get the same error after restarting the computer.
I'm running AIR 2.6.0.19170 on Ubuntu 11.10. The end of Install.log is shown below (the full contents of the log are at http://pastebin.com/ExtFdpfg).
I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Hello,
I'm trying to update an AIR application that's already installed, and I'm getting the following error message every time:
"The application could not be installed because another application is already being installed. Complete the first installation before proceeding with this one."
There doesn't seem to be any other installation happening, and I still get the same error after restarting the computer.
I'm running AIR 2.6.0.19170 on Ubuntu 11.10. The end of Install.log is shown below (the full contents of the log are at http://pastebin.com/ExtFdpfg).
I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to how to resolve this.
Thanks

Packaging an AIR application in a native installer

Hi! I'm trying to create a native installer of my AIR Application, because (I think) it's the only way make the native processes working. But I have a problem: I used the following command to pack: "adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx -target native -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp-app.xml", but I get the error: "File myApp-app.xml is not a valid AIRI or AIR file". In the Flash Builder I use as additional compiler arguments: "-locale=pt_PT,en_UK,fr_FR,de_DE,ro_RO,es_ES -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=assets" and I add the source path "src/locale/{locale}/". What is the sintax for packing my AIR application in a native installer? Thanks in advance.

Hi again! Thanks for the reply. I based myself on the link to see what command syntax I should use to pack my Air Windowed Application and it was the command that I presented in the previous post.

.AIR application not associated on Android?

Hi folks, I have a feeling this is a real newbie question so bear with me. I'm trying to install/open an AIR application on my tablet, a Toshiba Thrive that runs Android 3.0. I've installed Adobe AIR, but the .air file installer package isn't associated with AIR (or any program at all) so I can't open it. I'm thinking the application had been developed for Windows and that has something to do with it, but wanted to ask around first. If there's more information needed let me know.

Hello,
You are correct, the .air installer is for desktops. For Android, you'd need a .apk installer, though in most cases you'll receive the application from the market place. I'd recommend reaching out to the developer and ask if they have an Android application.
Thanks,
Chris
