On XP, this fails with the error as described above, and no indication of where any log is. Simply running the installer and trying to install the latest version also fails. None of the suggested workarounds work.

I used this in Xp and found that nothing happened if I just waited and eventually closed the DOS window with the mouse. However, if I typed exit in the DOS window and then hit the enter key, that seemed to trigger the uninstall. Thanks for the tip!

Arnie, I had this same problem but I tried it with the windows Vista “User Account Control” set to OFF and it worked first time.

Hope this helps

I found another way. Since I already downloaded the installer to the desktop. I just installed the latest version and then used the control panel to uninstall the program. its gone for me.

this is what I got, still can’t get rid of it. I don’t know where to look for a log.

C:\Documents and Settings\Jan\Desktop>AdobeAirInstaller.exe -uninstall

C:\Documents and Settings\Jan\Desktop>Uninstalling Adobe AIR (all versions)
failed (consult log)

Hello again,
I found that after following your advice above -the uninstall through Program Features was now live and it uninstalled in 5 seconds.

Thanks for the info

Hello,

I have a problem where Adobe air doesn’t uninstall through Program Features -Vista. I tried your fix through the command prompt. I get a short return when it loads but fininshes with
C:\users\Rod York\Desktop>Uninstalling Adobe Air failed

I’m not sure where the log is to give you that info. I’ve looked in system 32 but no text logs under log files
can you help please?

Kind Regards
Rod York

5. Type the following command exactly as shown:
AdobeAirInstaller.exe -uninstall
It looks like this: *screenshot*

The “air” in “AdobeAirInstaller” in the screenshot is capitalized, yet the command to be typed in isn’t. As the screenshot isn’t exactly the same as what’s meant to be typed in, will this make a difference?

I’m guessing not, but figured I’d check to be sure, as this is a really cool tip (one I’ll be making use of actually)
