cannot install adobe air on windows 10

I finally found something that worked for me (Windows 10).

- After downloading the Adobe Air .exe file, go to its location (usually in your Downloads folder) and right click on it.  Rather than clicking on "Run as Administrator" (which did not work for me), click on "Properties".

- Then go to the "Compatibility" tab.

- At the bottom of the Compatibility tab place a check beside "Run this program as an Administrator".

- Hit the "Apply" button and try running your Adobe Air install again.

Note: After doing this, I had to do the same steps for the program that I was initially trying to install that required Adobe Air as a pre-requisite.

Hi Jwcga,

   I stumbled upon this thread, after looking through the job post on guru.com.  Not sure, if you have posted it or someone else.

Can you tell me, why are you looking for it to get listed ? I have Windows 8, but I too don't see it in the list directly. There are many dll files.. "Adobe AIR.dll", I can see while searching.

May be you just need to test an AIR based application or game. If it works fine, then it means Adobe AIR has installed successfully on your system.

Adobe AIR is a runtime - like Flash Player is an internet browser plug in. It makes it possible for applications written as AIR apps to run. As it is essentially a "helper" application you will not see it listed in your Applications folder. You will of course see listed, the apps that make use of it.
