I have problems with AIR and cannot go forwards or backwards.
I am running in Windows 7.
According to Windows "Programs and Features" I have AIR 17.0.0.144. But when I try to Uninstall from there, I get
"This program requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version."
When I download and run the installer for 17.0.0.172, the GUI states that the install has been successful. But it hasn't, and the log contains:

When I try to run an AIR application, I get the same message above about a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
The problem survives reboots.
Is it possible to recommend how I can get out of this state?
