# Adobe Air (Windows EXE)

#### Description

Use this recipe when you need to deploy the Adobe AIR runtime to Windows devices with a FileWave Fileset. Adobe transferred AIR maintenance to HARMAN, so use HARMAN's current Adobe AIR runtime download page rather than older Adobe download links.

#### Ingredients

- Adobe AIR runtime installer from HARMAN
- FileWave Central

#### Directions

1. Download the current Adobe AIR runtime installer from [https://airsdk.harman.com/runtime](https://airsdk.harman.com/runtime).
2. Extract and import the [AdobeAIR-Installer.fileset.zip](https://kb.filewave.com/attachments/118) into FileWave Central and open it. This Fileset contains a script that calls the Adobe AIR installer.  
    Starting the installation this way allows it to succeed even if no user is logged on to the target system.
    
    ```
    start "" C:\Windows\temp\AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent
    ```
3. Import the Adobe AIR installer into the `C:\Windows\temp` folder.
4. Set the Adobe AIR installer verification behavior to "Ignore at verify" using the "apply to enclosed" button shown below.
