Greetings,

I am trying to install the Air 2.6 (AdobeAIRInstaller.bin) on a Fedora 15, but failed. The installation log is as following.

[setup:15962][INFO] Runtime Installer begin with version 2.6.0.19170 on Linux x86

[setup:15962][ERR] Runtime Installer end with exit code 7

I tried the -slient option

sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin -silent

Adobe AIR is currently not installed

Installing version 2.6.0.19170

failed (consult log)

Could you please help in on this issue? Thanks!

i just tried on a fresh Fedora 15 vm and the install was successful after...

needed to chang permissions on the bin file

note: chmod 755 AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

first error: rpmbuild command was missing

note:  i had to install the auto-buildrequired package

-can you make sure rpmbuild command is on your system?

second error: needed to run as administrator.

note:  i did not set up a sudoers list so i su root

-would you mind to try this method?

thanks...

Thanks for the help. I actually tried all of these: I changed the permission with "chmod 777" (tried 755 also); did the installation under root; and do you mean "rpm-build" command? - it is installed (rpm-build-4.9.1.3-1.fc15.i686).

BTW. I actually successfully installed AIR about two years ago on this machine. A month ago, my computer was out of order. My administrator duplicated the data from the old hard disk to a new one. The data are all there but the programs I installed were gone, including AIR. I am wondering if some residual were there and causing this trouble for a new installation. I tried to clean the system and was searching for any installation info of Adobe, but nothing found.

Thanks!

the command is "rpmbuild" from the auto-buildrequired package.

the only files i'm aware of during installation are

/opt/Adobe

/opt/Adobe\ AIR

/tmp/air.*

/tmp/AIR.*

you could try to delete those and try again.  have you tried those steps?j
