During installation of Adobe AIR, you receive an error dialog with contents similar to "An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."

Follow these steps for the manual solution:
- Using Finder, navigate to your Applications folder and look for a file (not a folder) named "Adobe". If one exists, rename or delete it.
- Open the Terminal application in your Applications/Utilities folder. Run the following commands:1
