I was still getting the error too after I added the MIME type to the IIS server, but once I added it to both (global AND the Web site in IIS Manager), it worked. I also stopped and started the web site that I added it too…not sure if you have to but I did. Hope this helps.

I’m getting an error# 2032 when trying to run a badge that tries to install a HelloWorld.air application.

I’ve added the mime type, but still error# 2032.

Excellent post – still useful 2 years after it was written.

I also wanted to point out that using Apache if you do not have access to the httpd.conf file (for example in a hosted environment) you can always add the AddType line to a .htaccess file in either your web root directory or the directory housing the download script.

I have added the MIME type

application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip extension .air

but when trying to download the application it still does the same thing. I have stopped IIS and restarted it again but still no luck.

Please assist.

David, thank you for this post. I have walked 20 miles across the Internet looking for a solution and this hit the spot. The site I was working on happened to be running on IIS 6+ and your thoughtful last entry made my day.

Thanks for sharing that, David. I just pointed to the page from a comment I’ve added in the CF9 help (because its Server Manager is an Air app that gets launched by the web server and people using that may hit this problem).

I’ll add as an update to your IIS notes that if one is using IIS 7 (as found in Vista/Server 2008), they would instead first select the server or web site, then choose “mimetypes” in the features view on the right, then choose “add” in the actions pane to the right of that.
