I didn't like that I had to download Adobe AIR for downloading and installing your app. What speaks against making a .dmg file and allowing the user to copy you

- jamesbritt 17y ago1. Is it even possible to run an AIR app from a local AIR engine, without installing AIR? That would be quite slick. 2. Assuming that were possible, how is this to be packaged for Linux and Win32 such that it Just Works? First time I looked at an AIR app I was also annoyed about having to install yet another VM thing. But, a few actually useful AIR apps later, I didn't care. So long as there isn't some creepy eternal background process running (cough Google updater cough Apple's itunes spy cough ) as residue, it's not an issue.
