in General

The following example shows how you can display a custom description when installing an Adobe AIR application by setting the <description> node in the application’s XML installer file.

Full code after the jump.

To set the Adobe AIR application installer’s description, edit the following lines in the application’s XML file:

<!-- Description, displayed in the AIR application installer.
     May have multiple values for each language. See samples or xsd schema file. Optional. -->
<description>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</description>
