Installer File is Corrupted .air

Question

Hey so I've got that lovely problem where I can't update an .air application.

I've tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Air, running the Air installer .exe file with administrative privilages and in differing compatibility modes, and finally uninstalling the application, including deleting the empty folder it left in my program files.

Now not only can I not update the application, but I can't get it back at all...

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and I'm attempting to run the installer from a local drive.

Here is a copy of the installer log:

[2012-09-01:13:30:45] Unpackaging file:///C:/Users/Mike/Downloads/Minerva-3-3-3.air to C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Temp\fla8F66.tmp

[2012-09-01:13:30:45] Got an unexpected fatal error while unpackaging: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="truncated or corrupt" errorID=0]

[2012-09-01:13:30:48] Application Installer end with exit code 7

Oh hey I found an AWESOME workaround on Stack Overflow.

Turns out if you can find another computer to install the app on, you can take the folder it makes (in my case the course vector folder) in Program files (windows 7 64 bit is the x86 program files) and copy it.

Then assuming you have Adobe Air installed on the computer you wanted the app on (which if you spent a few hours trying to install an adobe air app without the program then I can't help you...) you can simply paste the folder into the same location and it'll work perfectly! X3
