  1. POHow can the Adobe AIR installer itself require AIR?
    text
    copied!<p>I downloaded the AIR_Win_installer_files.zip file in order to do a side-car AIR installation. I created a directory (AIR_bundle) and unzipped the downloaded file into that. In that directory, I end up with:</p> <pre><code>Adobe AIR Installer.exe Adobe AIR/ </code></pre> <p>where the latter is a sub-folder containing lots of other files. On the command-line, I execute the exe file passing only the -silent option, and I get an error dialog that says:</p> <blockquote> <p>This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from <a href="http://www.adobe.com/getair" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.adobe.com/getair</a>, or contact the application author for an updated version.</p> </blockquote> <p>How can the AIR installer itself require AIR? It's AIR I'm trying to install in the first place.</p> <p>Note: this is <strong>NOT</strong> the standard AIR installer. This is the special installer you can use if you get a special license from Adobe to distribute AIR with your application.</p> <p>FYI: I've been referring to the "ADOBE AIR 1.5 Runtime Redistribution Instructions" document that says in part:</p> <h1>Silent installation</h1> <p>...<br> To run the Adobe AIR installer silently, start the Adobe AIR installer with the following command line options:</p> <p><code>-silent {-eulaAccepted ( -location ) -desktopShortcut -programMenu} path</code></p> <p>...</p> <p>To install or update the runtime only, use the <code>-silent</code> option without specifying a path or any other options.</p>
