Disable Automatic Update
Adobe AIR automatically checks for updates and prompts the user to install them, which needs Administrator privileges.
You can use the 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 HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\AIR registry key, and setting this value to 1 (According to Adobe AIR Administrator's Guide).
This can also be done through WPKG:
<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' />
Deploy Adobe AIR Applications
See this blog entry from Adobe to get a few hints on how to deploy Adobe AIR applications through WPKG.
Basically you can just run Adobe AIR Installer.exe -silent <Application>.air or add the following switches:
- -silent
- required to run without user interaction during installation
- -desktopShortcut
- adds a desktop shortcut for the AIR application
- -programMenu
- adds a Start Menu shortcut for the AIR application
