ADOBE AIR "Sorry, an error has occured."

I've been trying to update my Adobe AIR but during the install process I get the "An error has occured." message. I'm running XP and I'm on my admin log in so I'm not sure what to do. I've gone and tried DELETING everything "AIR" related but I still get the "sorry" msg. upon reinstalling AIR. Any clues as to how to get AIR back on my computer in a working fashion?
