Updating AIR application

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 now

keep a xml that has current version. Download your swf live everytime you start application(if there is a newser version)

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.
Thanks

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,
Jian

Hi 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.

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,
Chris

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

Update AIR application

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
Vivek

If 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.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

How do i update Installed AIR Applications? // General Questions

Hi,
first of all, i'm completly new to AIR. However, i made my way through your product documentation and i'm now able to deploy AIR and a AIR Application (SFDC Chatter) and register it.
Works fine so far, but some questions:
- How can i update installed AIR applications? If i just try to re-install it, the installer will fail with exit code "9"
-> How can i update them directly? If this is not possible
-> How can i uninstall AIR applications in a large enterprise environment?
- Where is the ARH Tool that is described in your product documentation?
- When installing AIR as SYSTEM User (I'm using SCCM) where is the logfile?
- Do you recommend updating AIR on a regular base? Are "older" applications compatible with newer AIR Versions?
Thanks for your replies!
Ben

Hi Ben,
I'd recommend taking a good look at our captive runtime option that is available in AIR 3.0 and higher. While you have to roll your own installer (and updater) this could be as simple as a zip/batch file combination. It also allows you to use the runtime that you prefer and not be dependent on what the user installs or uninstalls. You do have to be mindful of security implications, but it's definitely the way I'd go.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air3-install-and-deployment-options.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f709e16db131e43659b9-8000.html
As for updating, it should be as simple as increasing your app descriptors version number and installing again. This article explains how you can also use our update framework: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_update_framework.html
The ARH tool can be found here:

Use the system lang of AIR applications auto update.

Hello,
I recently used the auto update framework for my AIR application, this works fine but i have a small problem.
I made some reasearches and i found AIR uses the system lang by default. When i install my package for the first time, the lang is my sytem lang but when i find a new update after running auto update of my app, the AIR updater window doesn't use my sytem lang, which is french, but uses english lang. I'd like to put this window in french.
Thanks.

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

Problems updating/installing air application

Hi,
We have an Adobe Air application that uses the Air update mechanism for newer versions. It seems to work fine for most of the customers but on some computers when it tries to install the new version it cannot. The only clue we have are some errors we found in the Install.log in in Adobe/Air/logs:
[2012-07-09:12:14:50] Error occurred during msi install operation; beginning rollback: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="1603" errorID=0]
[2012-07-09:12:14:50] Rolling back install of C:\Users\pop.radu\AppData\Local\Temp\fla73EA.tmp\setup.msi
[2012-07-09:12:14:50] Rollback complete
[2012-07-09:12:14:50] Got an unexpected fatal error while in stateInstalling: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="1603" errorID=0]
We have checked other discussions on this problem and most of the solutions were using an uninstall tool to remove the app and then install it again. However, we would like to know if there is another way to solve this since we don't want our customers to uninstall and reinstall the application manually each time a newer version of the app appears.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Thanks,
Radu

Hi Radu,
The next step would be to enable MSI logging and take a look at what is failing with MSI. Unfortunately, MSI is very fragile at times and we do see this problem. Sometimes its simply a file/folder/registry permission issue. Other times it's more severe, like a missing .msi database file. Because this is an upgrade, I suspect what is happening is that MSI is looking for the old version's .msi database file so that it can run its "uninstall" routine. If the old msi can't be found, it will bail out and the upgrade will fail.
The only solution, other than locating the old msi database file (doubtful) is to run the Microsoft cleanup utility.
Thanks,
Chris
Ps. If you haven't already, I'd recommend taking a look at the captive runtime solution in AIR 3.x. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air3-install-and-deployment-options.html

Deepak,
Import parameters are asked once you click on Execute button of the FM. Here the screen is here.
Most of the fields look like Boolean values with 'X', if yes. Also there are 3 table icons seen. Once you click you are into the screen where you can fill the table values also. After inputting these values when you click on the Execute button in this screen the Entries in The Tables (output) will be filled. This your output.
I did not work on this. But all new FMs I try this way only. Often we need to play with FMs through Execute button and passing the Import parameters. After several trials we start understanding, what it is asking and what is returned.
