I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR.  Microsoft has just released a new 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.

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

I had already tried Fix-it, but tried again, several times and still can’t run.

I have a

Sony Vaio less than 2 years old:

Windows 7 Home Premium

Intel ® Core™ i3CPU 2.13 Ghz processor

4 GB ram

64 bit OS

Is it a directory problem? Also, the instructions to find the log file for Windows 7 were not quite right in location in my system.

When I look at the AIR install file (which I have tried to install, uninstall and reinstall a number of times), I see (code from install log below):

That log looks ok to me.  What exactly are you trying to run after installing AIR?
