Installing an Adobe AIR application to a specific directory in the Programs menu

The following example shows how you can install an Adobe AIR application into a specific directory in the Programs menu by setting the <programMenuFolder> node in the application’s XML installer file.

Full code after the jump.

To install an Adobe AIR application to a specific directory in the Programs menu, edit the following lines in the application’s XML file:

<!-- The subpath of the Programs menu to use. (Ignored on operating systems without a Programs menu.) Optional. -->
<programMenuFolder>AIRExamples.com</programMenuFolder>

After the Adobe AIR application is installed, the application should be installed in the Start Menu under Programs > AIRExamples.com.

    Hi Peter, nice Blog… I wonder If you can help me with this topic… I want to know If there is any chance to put any other files in the Adobe Air specified directory (such a “Readme.txt” file, or a “Changelog.txt”)… Thanks you…
