Hi Rob! What does the word "support" mean here? (Usually an operating system change will support existing applications, not the other way around, which is why the phrase confuses me.)
Do you mean that, so far as we've been able to test, the new OS doesn't break existing apps, but that we'd love to work with anyone who sees a difference? Or...?

@John - "Support" means that we have added Windows 7 to the Adobe AIR system requirements page. We have performed extensive testing of AIR 1.5 with Windows 7. In addition, many users that have been running Windows 7 betas have been doing this already for quite some time. As always, if a user runs into an issue, they are encouraged to submit issues back to our team using our feedback form.

The user directory is not understood in Windows 7. The AIR application executes correctly in windows vista, but in case of windows 7 Home Premium, the statement File.userDirectory.resolvePath("mydirectory/myfile.db");
is not executed properly, as there is no directory or file created in the user Directory.
Please provide a solution for this problem.
Thanks.
Mohan.

@Mohan, calling resolvePath doesn't actually create the file or directory. You need to pass the file reference to a FileStream instance to actually create the file. Have you tried that? If so (if you're seeing code that works on Vista but not Windows 7), please email me at christian.cantrell-at-adobe.com, and I'll look into it.
