Upon starting my computer I keep getting an error message for Adobe AIR stating, "Application descriptor could not be found for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance." I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe AIR THREE times and have restared my computer with each new re-installation. The error message is still showing. Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

I noticed that while the error message doesn't reveal what application, using adobe air, is failing, the icon in the taskbar did clue me in, because I recongized the logo, to which application needed to be uninstalled and addressed.

I successfully gotten rid of it for WINDOW 7.

This can be caused by some error/conflict with Air Adobe and any start-up programs scheduled to "open" "activated" at the first appearance of your desktop.

To find out what programs are running at the startup:

     Click "Start"

     type "msconfig" in the search engine at the bottom

     click on "msconfig" icon appearing on top

     a pop-up window titled "System Configuration" will appear

     Click on "Startup" tab

     At this point, I unclicked unnecessary programs that are not crucial in operating my computer.

     Click "apply" or "Ok"

     another pop-up window will ask you if you want to restart your computer.

I am not sure if I solved the "conflict' but certainly got rid of the annoying error message by turning off some "unnecessary" software that was automatically set to start as the computer booted.

That sounds like the application is incorrectly compiled or installed.  What is the application?
