Question

Can’t figure out how to install Adobe Air

This rabbit hole is getting discouraging. I have downloaded  it ( erased and retried several times now actually)

 

I end up with a AIRSDK_Windows file in my downloads. Upon opening that I see the following 

 From there I can click around but have not found anything that will install it for me. Upon a hint from one video I looked at, I did open the 'bin' folder and then there are a couple 'adl' applications in there - tried those but they did not seem to do anything either. I assume there's something in my computer that needs updating to make this work. I am not very computer savvy. I am lost. Ha ha. Any help would be much appreciated!

    I was having the same problem, but I finally found where to download Adobe AIR!

    https://airsdk.harman.com/runtime
    Click on "Adobe AIR for Windows"
    Go to where it downloaded and run it to install. 
    Hope this helps!

    Thank you kindly for the reply. That is where I downloaded it from. As far as I know the download is fine but I just can't figure out how to make it go. As in- install

    When you go to where it is after downloading, it should be called 'AdobeAIR.exe'
    Double left click on it or right click and select Open. 

    After that, a window will pop up saying Do you want to run this file? Click yes and the installation should start. It will tell you when it's finished.
