== Disable Automatic Update ==
Adobe AIR automatically checks for updates and prompts the user to install them, which needs Administrator privileges.
You can use the [http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/applications/SettingsManager/SettingsManager.air AIR SettingsManager] to change that on a per-user basis or disable this behaviour globally for all users by adding a DWORD value named UpdateDisabled to the <code>HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\AIR</code> registry key, and setting this value to 1 (According to [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/admin/WS485a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff5.html Adobe AIR Administrator's Guide]).
This can also be done through WPKG:
<source lang="xml">
<install cmd='REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR" /v UpdateDisabled /d 1 /f /t REG_DWORD' />
<upgrade cmd='REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR" /v UpdateDisabled /d 1 /f /t REG_DWORD' />
</source>
== Deploy Adobe AIR Applications ==
See [http://www.adobe.com/de/devnet/air/articles/distributing_air_in_enterprise.html this blog entry from Adobe] to get a few hints on how to deploy Adobe AIR applications through WPKG.
