Hi, everyone.

I have problem with running AIR aplications when installed Ruby under Windows 7.

If I try to run adl for my program "adl application.xml bin", I get the next result:


C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\New Project>adl application.xml bin

NOTE: Gem.cache is deprecated, use Gem::source_index. It will be removed on or after 2011-08-01.

Gem.cache called from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sprout-0.7.246/lib/sprout.rb:365

.

invalid application descriptor: Unknown namespace: http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.7

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\New Project>

Similar problem on the two different computers.

When I uninstalled Ruby AIR applications  worked normally.

But I need Ruby and I need AIR.

When I type just "adl" in command promt, I get result:

Adobe (R) AIR (R) Debug Launcher (ADL)

Version 3.1.0.4880

adl -help

I haven't seen this reported before and I'm not sure why there's a conflict.  Very odd that doing it without arguments does not cause the error.  Could you please open a bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com and let me know the bug number?  I'll follow up internally.

Thanks,

Chris

Fixed!

Thank you and sorry for troubling.

I just placed path to the AIR before the Ruby path in the system environments. And all works good now!
