I successfully tried Wine to install the latest version for Windows
(Adobe Air 18.0 for Win32) and then ran the application installer:

wine "/home/<user>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe"

With that, I installed the Zinio Reader for magazines, which needs
Adobe Air. http://gb.zinio.com/www/apps/desktop.jsp
This way I have access to the Linux Format (UK) magazine on PC.

It all works amazingly well, without leaving any error messages.

BTW, I did find a deb package here:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/218410/discussions/0/558746089535184265/
It appears to be version 2.6.0.19170 and it looks like it can be
installed with gdebi. I just haven't had time yet to sort it out.

hallo; I'm an italian.

I have got troubles in installing AdobeAIR 2.6.xxx on Mint or better the e-book reader I tried to install afterward said it needed a newer AIR to be run. unfortunately Adobe has not been supporting AIR for Linux since 2011.

Any of you can address me to solve this problem? The e-book reader in joined with a secondary school book printed by DeAgostini. It would be rather awful turning back to Microsoft just for this.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Looking forward to reading from you
