[...] Adobe AIR Version Checker | nothing yet | jason madsen. Has created a simple app that makes it easy for you to know what version of AIR you are running in case you are developing for multiple versions all the time (like I am). [...]

Funny, I was happy to find this, then I realized that simply the act of starting to install it did enough. Windows 7 verifies that “adobe air 2.5.1″ can make a change to the system. BOOM. Cancel install, information already provided haha.

Good on you for putting this out though. Helps if you need to check it more than once in the lifetime of your desktop.

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
