OK got it to install…here is how (found it on Adobe forums)

Went to start and type in regedit now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it, I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation and it worked with out a problem

I hate editing the reg but this worked!

So now we will need to remove all the bits we installed to rid the toolbars…I figure Ill have to do it on each user account, correct?
