Thanks Jason. I found this useful little Adobe knowledgebase article, which gives you a way to check the version of AIR on Mac and Linus systems:

I can’t find anything similar for Windows.

Very cool. I remember now running into the Product Manager a while back while looking into AIR install badges, but never took the time to investigate further. Thanks for the comment.

if you don’t mind using undocumented features, you can simply use this from Flash Player, without making AIR app:

import adobe.utils.ProductManager;
var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager(“airappinstaller”);
if(mgr.installed){
trace(mgr.installedVersion);
}

Hi Jason,

Thanks for that. It’s pretty handy.
It’s annoying there isn’t an easier way for people to check what their installed version number is.

Cheers,

Adrian
