I am in Window Xp. I have my  PC installed with the latest Adobe Air Runtime. Disconnected from the  network, And install gmdesk.air. The install process is finished without  any error. But then I can not see any screen of my application. When I run the application, I can  see the process is running with Ctrl+Alt+Del, but no application is  running.

Is it a bug or is some other reason behind?

Thanks

Hi Philip,

I think this is wrong forum as it seems not directly caused by Air runtime itself - but simply due to some program logic flow error (what happens with preferences that are to be loaded from web when internet connection does not exists and there is no program preferences created locally yet - should main application window become active? [the answer is: not]). Quick look into source code let someone be suspicious as there is no default *welcome* screen for users that have issue with network settings due to e.g. proxy settings),

Issue you've faced is probably discussed here on software support page:

Hi Peter,

Thankyou so much for you reply.

I am silly to use that open source project as a example without knowing what it is doing inside.(Just don't know how to share my air file with code)

In fact the problem happen to my simple project(only do a alert.show)

Here is the code and some screen capture

1) Code that simple do a Alert

Install not a problem

Didn't show up when run.

Is it because the mx name space required internet? What should I use if so?

Thanks a lot

Hi Philip,

ok, put aside implementation in that application (it is logged on its issues list already)

#2

Yes, but in very specific situations only:

If your application uses Flex framework - but uses default settings "Merged into code" (default for Air type of project) that should not happen really. It's common issue trapping Flex-based applications that run standalone - but I think it should not happen for Air type of project - as it manages "merged into code" by default.

#3

(after you've provided simplified sample)

Is your application window visible then? If visible does any action is taken upon click?

Peter
