Adobe platform evangelist Kevin Hoyt announced on his blog that he has made available the source code for 75 Adobe AIR code samples built using JavaScript. This is a fantastic way to get up to speed on AIR’s API’s. Real world examples include how to:
- Access text files synchronously
- Access binary files synchronously
- Access the clipboard
- Add drag and drop support to your application
To get started, download the sample files as a .zip or .air file from his project site hosted on Google Code.

Hi,
When I tried to install the file named “AIRSamples.air” (located at http://jsairsamples.googlecode.com/files/AIRSamples.air), I got this error,
“The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.”
Please help!.

David,
The samples AIR file is built for AIR 1.5. Is that the version of the runtime you have installed? I just downloaded the file and installed it, and had no problem. If you continue to have problems, please feel free to email me directly at khoyt . at . adobe . com.
As a side note, I do need to put a badge installer on the Google site. Not sure how to do that though as I don’t know the Google Code system well. If you (or anybody) has experience, please let me know!
Thanks,
Kevin
Hello,
When I tried to download MLB.com Releases Desktop App Powered by Adobe AIR I received the following error.
“The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.”
I tried following the instructions that David was given but nothing happened.
Please advise,

Hi,
I cannot get adobe air to work correctly. When I try to open a file, I get a message telling me that I must update in order to continue.
When I click the update option, another message appears, “The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.”
I’m running Vista. I have tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling the program. I’ve run it as administrator. I’ve tried everything I know, to no avail. Advice?
Thanks,
Kim
“The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.”
This is what I received when trying to Update? I cannot find anything other than it all failing to succeed.
. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.
Same problem as the others above: “Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.”
HELP!
I’m having the exact same problem as Kimberly Jones reported above. I am on a Mac PowerBook with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Can’t get Adobe to work at all.
Please help.
Same problem, :”Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.” I tried downloading, it ran, said download successful, then tried Acrobat and got the same message! Please help, I need to do my work and I paid for Acrobat!!!!!
I am having the same problem as all of the others here. I am using VISTA. I am using Adobe 9. I have deleted my AIR in add/remove programs and reinstalled a newly DL’d version. I still get “The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.” What gives??
yep….same issue….same message….Vista…
You’d think they’d have a better error message instead of the file being DAMAGED….How about something with a lighter connotation, like…”the AIR file is slightly imperfect..but is completely lovable and acceptable, faults and all.”
Can someone please help me fix this f*&^&*n thing????
Lauren
we need answer for this issue..can anyone help us..
