(Mac) Adobe AIR silent install broken - pretty urgent and time sensitive

The Adobe AIR silent install method does not seem to work anymore if the Mac is at the Logout Screen (no logged in user).

We push the Adobe AIR Installer.app to /private/tmp/ and invoke with a script that run the Adobe AIR silent install command:

# /private/tmp/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent -eulaAccepted

Result on logged off Mac:

SSH'd in to a remote, logged off Mac, we are SSH'd in from a remote computer. Invoking the Adobe AIR silent in stall command, the install hangs.

Note we are unable to exit the process using CONTROL-C so are forced to SSH in again and reboot the computer.

This is very unacceptable condition, which is the case whether we SSH in or deploy the installer and invoke via script.

Result when a user is logged in Mac:

The errors, but completes...deployment tools flag these kinds of errors, so they should not be considered insignificant or spurious.

Again, an unacceptable condition, that needs to be resolved.

Did the Adobe AIR silent install workflow break?

Are we forced to deploy only when user is logged in?

Is this issue going to get resolved?

PS, note all commands are run as root (# prompt).

Thanks,Don
