Will this only work on XP? Vista seems to have another path in the registry.

The propose of this post is to install a AIR application in a single step for people that don’t have AIR installed yet. Many of these people aren’t even online and cannot download the installer.
So, with this solution you can give those users a USB pen/CD/DVD/anyware and they can install it all in a simple and unique installation process. In the end, the process will only run both installations from Adobe.
I don’t see why Adobe would be against.. as it help to spread AIR applications
Of course you have to comply with every Adobe request regrading documentation and text files that must go along with the installation package.

We used to do the same thing and got negative feedback from Adobe. The recommended way is to download AIR and pass the air file to it as a parameter.
Most users don’t have AIR installed anyway as you mentioned above.
