Mis-configured Installer

Hey, I've downloaded some drops from the prerelease program of Adobe, which includes sdk of .air files, and when I try to open and install them this message pops out:

This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.

Any solutions?

Thanks!

Matthew

PS: I'm on a Mac running 10.6.7 software

Another guide from colleage:
1> Make sure you uninstall the AIR application(some drops from the prerelease program of Adobe). 
2> Install the latest AIR application again.

The reason is that the same application exported with different certificates, and the new one conflicts with the old one.

Hi,

You can also rename the Adobe Help folder the C:\Program Files\Adobe (32 Bit) C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe (64 bit) and try installing Adobe Help from http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/

Regards,

Raghav

    Hi Mateote,

    Could you test with the below 2 steps first?

    1> Install latest AIR runtime(http://get.adobe.com/air/)
    2> With latest AIR runtime installed, re-install AIR applications

    If failed, please provide the application which you want to install.

    Regards,

    Qingyan
