That is not an option.

Do you have any input managers installed on your Mac? They’d appear in /Library/InputManagers. Several are known to be incompatible with AIR and could be causing the install to fail.

I think it’s also possible you have a corrupted AIR install that’s tripping up the installer. If /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework is present on your machine, try removing it and then re-installing.

If neither of these work, let me know and we can investigate further.

I have removed all the files in the input mangers folder, and the AIR.framework is not on my machine. Still no luck removing/reinstalling. Is there a an unistaller that I can download.

I also have the same problem trying to install/uninstall Adobe Air. Everytime I double-click Adobe Installer, it says I already have the latest version on my system. I have a Mac running 10.5 and can’t find the actual Adobe program nor the UNinstaller in any of my folders. I looked in Library and there are no frameworks in there, and I also looked in Utilities, no luck. Is there an uninstaller somewhere so that I can install it again?

  The uninstall logic is built in to the installer. To force it to attempt an uninstall, run it from a Terminal window with the -uninstall flag:
  
  “…/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe AIR Installer” -uninstall

Thanks Oliver.

Had a corrupted AIR install, after removing /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework I could then install Adobe AIR on my Mac once again 🙂

There should be Adobe AIR Uninstaller.app in your Utilities folder
