Updating Air Application without prompt
I am considering using Air for a kiosk application. One potential issue I see is that when you update, my research shows that it requires someone to click an "Accept" button to perform the update. I was wondering is there any way around this? If there isn't then this would be a dealbreaker for using Air.
We would be able to log in remotely and run scripts, so not sure if something can be done this way to bypass the requirement for touching of the button. But it has to be done without the interaction of a person.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. I've done some searching but nothing's come up yet and maybe I'm just not finding the right thing.
Thanks!
Desktop applications can indeed simply skip the user-question. I've written an Update Helper, which is currently still in work but it provides the "force install" functionality which don't even let the user chose to restart the app or not. It's simply doing so
You can find the current state here: https://github.com/beautifycode/AIRUpdateHelper-AS3

Help! Run AIR Applications without Adobe AIR.
Hello, I wanted to ask that is there any way to run AIR applications without having Adobe AIR in the computer. It's really annoying when you have to give someone your application to use and then the person needs Adobe AIR to run it. Any suggestions?
Where to start...
AIR is a lot like Java in the sense that it requires a run-time engine to be installed. This engine has all "things" required to for the application to run. In a similar way, applications such as 3DMax or Word require that the operating system be present for them to run. Those programs are written using API calls that are present within the target operating system. Likewise, AIR and Java apps are written using API calls that are present within their run-time. To bring it full circle, AIR is an application written in C, that uses APIs for the target operating system. So, when you perform certain functions within AIR, it then knows how to execute needed operating system functions (as needed). AIR also provides a lot of higher level functionality and management that make your life as a programmer a lot simpler.
Looking at iOS or Android, we have the same thing happening. Some developers are writing apps using Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android) that are using APIs specific to those operating systems. This is the same as writing your app in C like 3DMax. -
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. -
Hi for All, Pleeeeeeease help me, Update Air application problem
Hi guys,
I have big adobe-air ajax based application installed in my computer ,I have updated some files in my application, and generate the new(updated) version of the air file and put it in the server .My application size is 300 MB. The problem is that the update framework will download and reinstall all the files of air application(300 MB !!!) ,
Is there any way to reinstall only the updated files of my application without need to reinstall all the files during the update process ????
RegardsHi Anil,
If you go to RSPLAN there you can go to Portal link (it must be configured properly in system)
In portal there will be wizard where you can easily go step by step and create planning functions and sequences like below:
1. You choose the appropriate InfoProvider.
2. You create one or more aggregation levels.
3. You create one or more filters.
4. You create one or more planning functions.
5. You create a planning sequence.
6. You test the planning model.
which is clearly explained in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d2440301a06f4e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
after doing this you can create a query on aggregates you have created above and then make query input ready i.e planning enabled for keyfigures you want like mentioned in below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d023a41130bd5e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
then you can run query in Analyzer and save it as a work book after proper drilldown which can be used as template.
Hope you understood basic thing, as you going on doing u will know clearly every thing.

Hi,
Is there a way i can update an existing application without
have to check for the updates on a website. i.e. in a standalone
(offline mode), the problem being that the update also need to
upgrade the existing database to the next version. I have tried
using applicationupdater.swc and applicationupdatore_ui.swc but
they all assume that the update is being distributed thru the web.
Please help
VivekIf the machine is off-line, where does the upgrade version
AIR file come from?
If you know the upgrade file path on your machine before
hand, it is easy to do the update. Just make the update() call with
the file path (file object) and the version. -

Hello,
I'm trying to update an AIR application that's already installed, and I'm getting the following error message every time:

Comand line argument for updating .air applications
Hi all,
Please help me regarding the issue while updating the .air application silently using command line argument -update -silent -location <%INSTALLDIR%> "Location of .air file".
For the fresh installation I used the following cmd line arguments
------> Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -programMenu -location "<INSTALLDIR>" "Location of .air file" ---> This will work for fresh installations only.
but the same comand will not work if the older version is already installed in the machine we have t use -update argument.
I don't fine correct argument list for updating the .air files. Please help me if any one know how to update the .air file silently using command line arguments.Hi,
To update an app, the app installer should be invoked with the following command line params:
-update -silent <dir> <url> <version>
where <dir> is the full native path to the application, <url> is the URL to the .air file to update it with (either local or remote), and <version> is the version of the new app in the .air file.
Thanks,

I hope I am asking this question in the right forum
I am working with a dev team that's writing AIR application
To keep it simple, let's say this AIR application has 10 swf and 2 swc (plus other assets)
All of these files are packaged inside an AIR installer, and customer will run this full package AIR installer to install this application
My question is: let's say they created a patch, and it is changing 2 .swf. Is it possible to create an "incremental" AIR installer that contain ONLY the 2 changed swf, and user can run this incremental AIR installer to update an existing AIR application with the 2 newly changed swf files?
Thanks
KK Fong
PS: We are using Flex SDK 3.6.0 right nowkeep a xml that has current version. Download your swf live everytime you start application(if there is a newser version)

Can't update AIR application on Windows XP service pack 3
We've run into another AIR update issue with our AIR 2.0.4 sidecar product.
Our application uses the standard ApplicationUpdater.checkNow() method to look for and download updates. Just such an update was issued recently, and one of our team members has reported an issue attempting to download the new update on a Windows XP service pack 3 machine.
They are getting an Error 16818.
Thanks for any insight.Hi,
Error 16818 is "IO error while saving data to disk". Is there any way we could get the installer log from this machine? It might give us additional clues.
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I have read this tutorial:

What is the correct url?
http://www.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.7 and 2.7.1 doesn't works.

Run .air application without installation?
Is it possible to have a .air file or something similar which
runs in the AIR runtime but does not need to be installed?
Something like an executable or maybe like Java .jar file.Hi Rob,
There's one primary reason, and that is for client testing
cycles. I've not done many AIR projects but I've immediately found
clients hesitant to "install" anything that is not final. Of course
I tell them that AIR has a very lightweight installation, can be
easily updated as I make new versions, etc, but... you know
clients. Then I might make a mistake, like change the app id and
they end up with two versions installed and have a conniption. So
it would be nice to give a client a single file they can just run
and see how they like it, especially for early versions of a
project where we are mainly testing UI experience, not
functionality.
Other than that, it's more of a nice-have for some situations
with little utility apps than anything critical. There may be
installation permission reasons or running from external device or
other reasons for some people, but that does not really apply to me
at this time. -
Since beginning of july 2012, it is impossible to install any app from Appstore. It is not possible to update any application without having a big crash of the ipod which is almost three years old.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If you still have the the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Add security certificate in adobe air application
Hello- Everytime I open my air application it prompts me to add certificate for secured connection.
Is it popssible to add certificate once and next time I open application it read from there itself without prompting.Hi Joe,
thanks for quick response.
In the meantime i was able to get to a solution. I am doing an ActionScript-based app btw. My goal here is the create an AIR Application that loads different modules on demand from a given internet ressource. The two applications are using the child/parentSandboxBridge to communicate.
I was using the SWFLoader class but did not correctly pass the LoaderContext with allowLoadBytesCodeExecution (or allowCodeImport for AIR2.0). As i was passing a LoaderContext with the mentioned variable, i was getting an VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of activate in mx.managers.SystemManagerProxy since the AIR Application is done with Flex 4.0 and the loaded SWF is compiled with Flex 3.5.
The reason that error was thrown although the loadForCompatibility property was set to true was, that the SWFLoader class does not set the necessary applicationDomain for compatibility when a LoaderContext Object is passed. So i did the applicationDomain setting myself and everything works as a charme .
If anyone is interested in this procedure, just look into the SWFLoader::loadContent Method. In Flex 4 the interesting part starts at line 1836.
Thanks anyway.
Timo
