I have finally got round to installing TweetDeck on one of my Linux Fedora 10 systems. Whilst trying to run the Adobe Air Application Installer in order to install TweetDeck I kept getting the famous ‘Error #5100‘ code, and the install process would then crash out. It seems that the #5100 error code points to a range of unspecified problems to do with the filesystem (or at least that is my reading of it); problems such as disk space, permissions or lost files.
I got round this particular issue by running the Adobe Air App Installer from the command line, with root permissions. In this case it seems that the user trying to install the app did not have enough permission to do so. Here’s what I ran on the command line…
[lark:whatsit ]# /usr/bin/Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer \ > /path/to/TweetDeck_0_21_5.air

I ran into into the same issue – Fedora 10. Your solution worked for me as well.
