| 1308586 | 2012-10-25 04:47:00 | I'd like some information on "Adobe Air" please - was looking through things and noticed that programme was way overdue for an update - existing is "1.5.3 1930" new is "3.4.0.2710" - so tried to update but kept getting a failure message, i.e. "An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator." - I am the administrator suggestions from their site included "disable AV," did so, failed install in safe mode, failed uninstall original then install update, failed do i need to update? what role does Adobe Air play? do I really need it? would love to get some answers please |

| 1308587 | 2012-10-25 05:07:00 | According to the adobe site What What is Adobe AIR? The Adobe® AIR® runtime enables developers to package the same code into native apps for iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet, and other Android™ devices, reaching the mobile app stores for over 500 million devices. So if you dont do this, you dont need it |

| 1308590 | 2012-10-25 06:16:00 | thanks all, coincidentally, my partner has a birthday shortly and my thoughts are Kindle Fire or Nexus7 so, I'll need to download Adobe Air, any thoughts on that? in light of my previous failures? | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1308591 | 2012-10-25 17:58:00 | Uninstall Air. Close your browser, and any other unneccessary apps that might be using Air. Reinstall from a saved installer application. Keep fingers crossed. |
