Windows XP Permissions vs AIR Auto Update
Hello All,
I've just started getting into AIR, and I've run into an
issue. I'm planning an app that would be distributed to Windows XP
users with limited accounts. The issue I'm currently trying to
tackle is how to get the application to auto update when a user
opens it from a limited account. Currently it gives me the error:
"An error occurred while updating the application. Try updating it
again. If the problem persists, contact the application author.
Error# 0".
Since I'm a Mac guy, I don't know too much about permissions
and account settings in XP. Is there a way to simply give the
application the necessary permissions without having the user have
to login every time like the "Run with different credentials"
option.
No, there's no way around this. Prevent applications from
updating themselves is part of what limited accounts are supposed
to do.
You might try finding out how software is normally updated
for these machines. That's probably the path you want to take for
this application, too.

AIR runtime on Windows 2003 Server - switch off auto-updates???
Hello,
Trying to switch off auto-updates in Win 03. Have tried:
- Adobe settings manager
- Updating Windows registry keys
Nothing works..updates are still requested
Any ideas..?Could you check to see if a file named updateDisabled is present in either of these two folders (I suspect the Win 2003 folder would be similar to XP)?
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\
Window Vista / Windows 7
C:\Users\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\
That should take care of it on a per user basis. For the registry, did you have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled set to 1? -
Air Auto Update Error -- Flash Builder Burrito.
This is my first attempt at this, so I may be missing something simple.
I'm not having any luck getting an Air app to automatically update.
If I manually go to http://localhost/air1/air1.air and redownload the file I will get a popup that asks if I want to update the app, but when I say ok I get this error.
"There was an error checking for updates. Error# 16816"
I haven't found a reason yet,

AIR auto-updater -- include markup?
I have had my AIR application able to auto-update for some time. But I'm wondering if you can somehow include HTML in the description you see of the auto-updater. Here is my update.xml file on the server:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.0">
<version>1.0.0</version>
<url>url-to-air-installation-file</url>
<description><![CDATA[Text of new things in this version.... ]]></description></update>
I've tried to remove the <![CDATA[ and use HTML inside the <description> block, but it doesn't work. Am I missing something? Is this even possible??
Thanks,

opened[i].close();
setApplicationVersion();
appUpdater.updateURL = "http://localhost/updateTest/update.xml";
appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;
appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, onUpdate);
appUpdater.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, onError);

AIR auto update error, and question about POST parameters
Hello,
I'm getting a Download Failed error in the AIR autoupdating process;
There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16822
I recall this working once, the very first time that I tried it.
My app.xml file contains this line:
<version>12</version>
and my update.xml file contains:
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.0">
<version>12</version>
<url>http:/players.biemedia.com/ooyala/Composer/Composer.air</url>
<description>12 - Bug fixes and prepopulating defaults for player creation screen</description>
</update>
Pasting the URL into a browser works.
However, this stuffresides on cloudfront. in the past i have noticed that if something tries to send post parameters along with the request, cloudfront will deny the request. Is it possible that the AIR app is sending POST parameters when hitting the download URL, and could this behavior be new in the last 6 months or so?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Windows failed to restart after auto update
Hi I have a dual boot machine with Windows 8.1 & Windows XP. The Windows 8.1 OS was itself an upgrade of Windows 8.0 . Everything was working well till last week.
Last weekend 14th Feb, Windows 8.1 wanted to install some updates while shutting down. It installed about 14 updates and shut down promising to restart soon. After restarting, Windows 8.1 never booted. I waited for around 20 minutes and them manually restarted
the machine. This time I selected Windows XP. Windows XP started, but in the process fixed something on the file structure by running chkdisk, while starting.
Later a friend told me that he'd similar issues of his computer not starting after the patch for a long time. But ultimately it did after about half an hour. I tried to boot Windows 8.1 again, leaving it no for an hour. But it was a vain effort.
I tried to repair my machine by booting with the Windows 8.0 setup disk. But this also failed saying some partitions are locked.
Can you please tell me what are the options available to me to revive my machine.Here is the forum for you.

Windows and dialogs, when resizing, auto-update UI?
How do you allow the ui to keep being updated as you resize a window or dialog? I keep seeing the border move, then when I stop it updates the UI. I know its faster, but I was just curious of the other could be done?
Thanks.Thanks. It works, but definitely noticeably slow. Even on a PIV1.8Ghz with 1GB memory I see that it doesn't update very smoothly. It seems if I move the pane slowly it will update alright, but if I move it even partly fast, it doesn't refresh until the move is done. Definitely shows the slowness of swing compared to native.

new firefox autoupdated instead o asking me as usual. ( soubds similar to other ppls prob., but w a twist or two. now no toolbar, so ur answer to click bookmarks or whatever doesn't help me n there is no sidebar. also, i no longer can see which other windows i have open at the bottom of the page so i can switch back w/out minimizing the current window. the url box doesn't show until i move the cursor over that top area. i love firefox, but w this and the older version locking up my computer on occasion and not disconnecting from the internet idk what's going on at firefox to cause subpar performance and causing near strokes or heart attacks in ppl.
Your Firefox may have been in full screen mode. You can switch between full screen and normal mode using the F11 key.
Do you have the orange Firefox button (abbreviated two-column menu) on the title bar? If you prefer the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key, and use View > Toolbars > Menu Bar to restore it. You can also use View > Toolbars to turn other toolbars on and off.
Do you want to describe these problems in more detail?

How to setup air help auto-update
RH8 HTML.
Im fiddling around with the AIR Help file and trying to get the auto update working.
So far I have the comments syncing perfectly across users with a shared folder on our network.
I'm now publishing the air file to a shared folder again where everyone can get the file and where the update.xml file is sitting.
so I have this looking structure.
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help File.air
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help_Update.xml
I set everything in RH Air output to publish to these folders, and I can see the newest files each time I do, I change the version numbers from 1.28 to 1.29, and this is reflected in the update.xml file where the version number has changed.
but when I go into the actual instaleld 1.28 version and use the Check Now feature to look for the latest 1.29 which has over written the 1.28 files in the shared folder, it finds nothing.
I cant find any way to manually point to where the update should be found.....do the update files have to sit in the same install directory or something? How does this work....aarrrgghhh
Is there another things I'm not doing?
Thanks.Hi Nick
Good to hear that you are looking into AIR and Comment syncing is working fine.
Regarding the AIR auto update feature, you need to do the following
While generating the AIR file, you need to specify the update XML file location in AIR Help SSL generation option shown in the image below.
Now install this AIR file, and update the update.xml file and new version of AIR file, and it should work fine.
So the point is the installed air file need to know where to look for the update.xml file, it can be shared folder or a website.
Hope this will help you.

Authenticating AIR application auto-update
Hi, I'm building documentation for my desktop-product with RH8 and AIR SSL auto-update functionality. It looks like I need to expose any revision of my documentation on Internet for the auto-update. My company does not want to expose it freely since it is intellecual property. Is there a way to protect the revision with some authentication that would work with the AIR auto-update mechanism? Thanks in advance.
--dhSame situation like ours! :-)
If your documentation on the internet is accessed using "https", then that's the link that will be used for auto-updating and thus an authentication box will be displayed anytime a request for an update is made.
Good luck.

How to use auto update in android ?
hi,
i want to use adobe air auto update in android devices.. what can i do ?Did you install the maintenance service properly in download and install updates in the background?
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Update: "Use a background service to install updates"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/what-mozilla-maintenance-service
If updating Firefox isn't working properly then this could be that the maintenance service isn't installed and enabled properly or not allowed in security software.
The maintenance service can be uninstalled separately, it shows up as a new item under add/remove programs.
You can try to uninstall and reinstall the maintenance service as a user by running the installer file in the Firefox program folder.
