Occasionally Ill run an update checker to see if I have the most recent versions of software installed on my computer. Adobe Air used to update completely fine, until a few versions ago.  

I cannot uninstall Adobe Air from Add/Remove Programs giving me the error "This requires a version of Adobe Air that is not on this computer" and this information in a log file.

Error 1714. The older version of Adobe AIR cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group.  System Error 1612.

Problems have been happening since way before I purchased Windows 8 and installed.

I also tried creating a temporary user account with administrator, but still did not work when trying to install there.

Any other solutions?

I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR.  Microsoft has a utility that can help resolve installation problems.  Would you mind giving this a try and let us know how it works for you?  When running the "Fix it", go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system.  Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.

Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It

If you still encounter problems, we'll need to review the MSI installer log to better diagnose the issue.  Please post back with the log contents.  You can find instructions for enabling and finding these logs here:
