.air files (Air apps) won't install

[Fabio_A1]

Hello everybody.

After having successfully installed the latest AIR runtime, I downloaded an .air app and tried to execute it, to no avail. First off, the .air file was not associated with anything, therefore Windows asked me what application I would want to run it with. I then tried to associate it with airappinstaller.exe that can be found under Program Files\Flash Player\Addins, but any time I execute it I get a message saying that there was a problem and I should try to install the latest AIR runtime (which I have already).

I'm kind of lost, what's the problem and how should I deal with it?

The air app installer is there : C:\Program Files\Commons Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0

Thanks a lot! That solved the problem. The question still remains as of why the .air extension was not associated with anything, though.

Glad you were able to work around the problem.  The latest runtime shouldn't have issues making the appropriate .air extension association.  If possible, try uninstalling and reinstalling the AIR 2.0.3 runtime.  If you still run into problems, please post your installer log file so we can try and dig deeper.

Thanks,

Chris
