Please try this solution:

Step 1. Download the “Windows Installer CleanUp Utility” tool here. Click the “DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS” button, and it will download automatically. The installer file name is “msicuu2.exe”.

Step 2. This tool was initially designed for win xp, in order to make sure it install and run well Win 7. You need to make a small configuration.

Right click on the msicuu2.exe installer file, go to Properties -> Compatibility -> check “Run this problem in compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP3)”. Here is a screen shot. And then run the installer and install the application.

Step 4. In the opened window, find a program named “Adobe AIR [x.x.x…]” as the version. Mine is AIR 3.0.0.3880. When you select on the item, and click the “Remove” button, the utility will remove the program completely. I suggest you to remove all Adobe AIR versions listed in the window.

Step 5. After a clear uninstallation, you can get the latest version of Adobe AIR here. Try to install it and it should be installed right away without any problem.
