Where can I find Adobe AIR on my PC?

Question

I want to open an AIR application with the AIR which was presumably installed with CS5, but not knowing what it's called I can't find its location. So, question: what is the runtime called under Windows and/or in which folder should I be able to find it?
TIA
Steven

Note: double-clicking it doesn't help, as Flash Player tries to open it then.

Edit
I seem to be a bit confused here. I thought I could install to AIR from a .SWF files, but it looks like I have to go the way of the publish function in Flash. Sorry for the confusion (yes, I'm new to this :-))

Answer 1

You should install the AIR runtime again, if double clicking a .AIR file doesn't start the install/reinstall cycle for that App, the AIR runtime / framework isn't properly installed.

• Go get the installer : http://get.adobe.com/air/

Update:

@stevenvh : .SWF files are not run by the AIR Runtime, and can only be run from the regular FlashPlayer (or from within another running SWF or AIR application.)

AIR Runtime is for installing and running specifically built AIR application packages on the desktop.

Answer 2

Air's application installer is located at:

32bit:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe

64bit:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe

If you want to run your air app via command line, you can use the Air Debug Launcher: http://blogs.adobe.com/simplicity/2008/11/how_to_launch_an_air_app_from_the_command_line.html
