This Is How You Uninstall Adobe AIR



With many thanks to Oliver Goldman from the Adobe AIR Engineering, I’ve finally solved my problem. Quoted from his email, here’s how you uninstall Adobe AIR if it does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs control panel:

Download the latest installer and then pass it the "-uninstall" flag from the command line, like so:

AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -uninstall

After uninstalling it successfully, I re-installed again and now, the "Adobe AIR" sits in the Add/Remove Programs list. I assume any last remnants of any Apollo runtime had been uninstalled as well. Coolness~ :D

    Sorry but what is the command line you are mentioning?
    Is it seen on new download? I don’t have an exe. programme in the Air list of files.

    @verwoods
    You can get to the command line via Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
    Or you can just go to Start -> Run… and type “cmd” without the quotes and run the command prompt.
    Hope that helps. :)

    didn’t help at all. I get the (consult log) but nobody goes any further than the command prompt…

    @eboughey
    If you could try and explain it more, like where did it not work, what’s the message in the consult log, which consult log you are talking about, then maybe whoever sees this might be able to help you. :)
