How to determine what version of the Adobe AIR runtime is installed (Mac, Windows and Linux)

The following information can be used to determine the version of the Adobe AIR runtime that is currently installed on a Windows, Mac OS X or Linux system:

Windows:

Inside the {drive_letter}\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions directory, you’ll find a numbered folder which represents the main version of the AIR runtime installed (for example 1.0)
For more detailed information, right-click on the Adobe AIR.dll file inside the Versions\1.0 directory and choose Properties + Version tab, there you will find the version value, for example: Version: 1.5.3.9120

Mac OS X:

Inside the /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions directory, you’ll find a numbered folder which represents the main version of the AIR runtime installed (for example 1.0)
For more detailed information, open the /Library/Frameworks/AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Info.plist text file and locate the <key>CFBundleVersion</key> entry, the corresponding string entry represents the version of AIR, for example: <string>1.5.3.9120</string>

Linux:

Inside the /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions directory, you’ll find a numbered folder which represents the main version of the AIR runtime installed (for example 1.0)
For more detailed information, look for and open the text file inside the Versions/1.0/Resources directory (for example the ApolloVersion text file would show 1.5.3.9120)
