Adobe forces you to install as an admin user. There's no way to install as a normal user in case you want to limit the possible damage their buggy software can cause.

i've to use Air for MangoSpring, a tool we use in my company for collaboration. works with the beta of air, but there is a watermark on it that is just very annoying, the same for flash beta... i know i'm using a beta, i don't need to be reminded in every single flash / air app...

No Air applications worked after installing Adobe Air3, and it could not re-install.
Just broken.

I cannot think of a single reason for AIR on my Mac -- what AIR apps do any of you use regularly?

I have tried installing Adobe AIR for several days without success. After reading the comments on this page, I decided to install version 6, not 7, in the hopes that it would install. As usual it did not. I always get this message, even after opening
Info & adding my name, admin., Everyone, etc.
So did it open??? NO!

Here's what I get every time:
"An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
I AM the administrator!!!

I recently needed to buy Adobe Acrobat Pro version X. This was an upgrade from version 9. What Adobe calls improvements in this version is like going around your head to reach your nose!Version 9 had a tool bar that was easy to use and read. Not ten.

To add insult to injury Adobe sends me an e-mail giving me a choice of a free gift. So I click on the link which takes me to a page with all the choices. Very nice, but there is NO link or instructions on how to get this gift.

This was two days ago & I still don't have there "free" gift. That is really not the important issue here. What is important is that Adobe is not user friendly, especially to Mac owners. Adobe offers Adobe Acrobat in standard and Pro versions for Windows but not for Mac.
I had wanted to save and buy their standard version, but that's only available to windows.

If anyone knows how I can get Adobe AIR installEd I would appreciate it since there are several apps I need that depend on Adobe AIR.

I wonder if Adobe ever reads the comments on Mac Update. There are plenty of negative comments with their other products as well, i.e. Flsh, etc.

I didn't have a problem installing...just hesitated once I found out it's BETA. I snap shot the install so I know what got installed where. Just not happy that I got as far as I did without any hint of it being BETA.

To get Adobe AIR to install, you must start in Safe mode (hold the shift key down while restarting). The installer will then run without crashing. I don't know why Adobe doesn't fix this. It has been going on for several iterations.

i’ve been reading many negative comments about Adobe AIR. this application is not totally useless. every once in a while, but not often, when i’m constipated, i download and install this app. then i uncompress the dmg and install it. after about five minutes of working with Adobe AIR, i am sitting on the toilet (cross-eyed and with a slight smile on my face) experiencing a mixture of relief and pain. then i come back to my computer and uninstall it. so there’s that.

The was probably the funniest review I've seen here. Um, I haven't actually gotten too far into the software because the invasiveness of Adobe's update schemes. By the time it gets down twiddling its digital digits, I lost the inspiration to do anything with it.

They really ought to tell you this is a release candidate, not a certified stable update. Don't bother with this one unless you like testing beta software.

Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that allows web application developers to use their existing web development skills (HTML, Javascript, Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications on the desktop.

Adobe AIR enables developers to create applications that combine the benefits of web applications - network and user connectivity, rich media content, ease of development, and broad reach - with the strengths of desktop applications - application interactions, local resource access, personal settings, powerful functionality, and rich interactive experiences.

Adobe AIR enables familiar application interaction models, including drag-and-drop support, rich clipboard access, and desktop and system shortcuts. Adobe AIR applications run as regular applications, and do not have to run within another application or shell (as web applications do by running within the browser).
