Can’t install Tweetdeck and Adobe Air on Mac? Here’s how!

October 27th, 2010 · 18 Comments



I run into this problem when I tried to install Tweetdeck app on my new macbook pro with Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard. Adobe Air installation is required before you can install Tweetdeck on any computer. I can install both Adobe Air and Tweetdeck, but when I open Tweetdeck, it shows up an error that Adobe Air is damaged blah blah blah.

I asked for support from Adobe’s forum and after 22 days of waiting, they sent me an applescript which solved the problem.

Click here to download the script to fix the installation problem of Adobe Air on Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard

    im having troubles downloading the tweetdeck.. i download it from http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop .. each time i open it, it says “There is no default application specified to open the document tweetdeck_0_37.0.air.” .. (did i just download the adobe air? do i need to download a certain Tweetdeck app?) help?

    I was having problems installing TwetDeck on Snow Leopard. Tried everything. I installed it again, got the error, closed TweetDeck, then ran the script provided above. Launched TweetDeck and all was good!

    I thought fixing permissions through the harddrive utility would do it, but it didn’t. It really came down to this script fixing it.

    Thanks!
