I am a complete beginner at this and I would really really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

Hi,

I just installed Adobe AIR runtime and Adobe Air SDK in my Windows 7 64-bit.

As per instruction from 'Adobe Air for Dummies' and other various articles about installing the SDK, I set up Path to my C:\airsdk\bin through 'System Properties'.

A few that I used as reference:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f-71994050128cca87097-8000.html#WS2d929364fa0b8137-78b25bdf12a498897d1-7fff

and

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7359274/adt-adl-command-is-not-getting-recognized-by-windows

When I typed 'set path' at cmd, it listed all the path and I can see '...; C:\airsdk\bin' clearly listed there.

However, when I typed 'adt -version' at cmd to check, it gave out ''adt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.' The same for if I just typed 'adt' as per 'Adobe Air for Dummies'.

I have restarted my computer;

made another airsdk folder somewhere else and linked path to this new airsdk's bin folder;

created 'New System Variable' as per http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRVSMJFTx94&feature=relmfu (Variable name: airsdk, Variable Value: C:\airsdk\bin\adl.exe);

make path directly to C:\airsdk\bin\adt.bat and C:\airsdk\bin\adl.exe in Environment Variables; nothing works.

It is still ''adt' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'.

I am running out of things and ideas to try and I desperately need to use Adobe Air. So, please, if anyone has any idea that I can try, let me know.

Thank you,

Rani

Hi Rani,

I'd be happy to help you out.  Could you contact me at ccampbel@adobe.com if you'd like to setup a quick desktop sharing session?  This is something I think we could solve in just a couple of minutes.

Thanks,

Chris
