OMG, after last AIR update before current ALL my AIR apps will not work, HELP!

Hello,

I could install and run the AIR application successfully with AIR 4.0, 12.0 and 13.0.

Looking into the log, it seems that "missing application.xml" and "Application Installer end with exit code 7" issues have been there from 2014-02-09, below is the detailed log seen from http://ge.tt/2IDeU4b1/v/0?c. This issue maybe caused by the application.

Is there an application.xml under C:\Program Files (x86)\YourApplicationXXX\META-INF\AIR\ ?

If possible, could a bug against this issue be logged in https://bugbase.adobe.com/, and upload the AIR application which does not work. That would be very helpful to triage and find the root cause for this issue.

Thanks your support!

All I need to know is what this means and how do I fix it:

I uninstalled AIR and all the apps that used air cleared caches and rebooted. Re-installed the latest AIR and 1 current air app and this is the last update in the log.

I guess no one knows how to fix this piece of crap platform. I'm going to start a campaign for software vendors to stop using AIR because there's no support for it and nothing works on it, and no one knows why.
