I was able to install a sample AIR app to the emulator of an Android setup as a APK file, but when I select it, it askes me to install Adobe AIR runtime. It takes me to the Android marketplace and I log in but it wont let me download it because I dont have an Android phone number associated with my account.  Is there an AIR runtime APK file that I can use to bypass the marketplace?  If not, how do I get around the fact that the emulator does not have a number and the (555) number that is defined in the emulator is not accepted in the Google account management?

An emulator version of the runtime is included in the AIR SDK. You can install it with the AIR ADT utility:

adt -installRuntime -platform android

See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128fc240122-7ff6.html

You can also find the Runtime.apk file in the SDK in the \runtimes\air\android\emulator folder and install it using the Android adb utility.

Unfortunately, this command doesn't work for me.  I get an error:

> Unsupported / Missing <platform>
