Yes, allowBrowserInvocation is set to true in the descriptor XML, I even checked the application’s Package Contents to verify, and I’ve been testing with the installed app. I’ve found the swc that contains the mx.core.WindowedApplication class, (it seems to be the air/airframework.swc in the flex SDK), unfortunately I haven’t been able to compile from Flash CS4 with it. Dependencies seem to be in conflict.

Did you make sure that the “allowBrowserInvocation” option is set to true in the AIR application descriptor template. This is the xml file that describes the version, name, … of your application. Because otherwise it will not work.

It also doesn’t work in debug when you run it for example from Flex Builder. It only works if you installed the app. In debug the application that executes your AIR program is adl.exe.

Hope this helps,

import adobe.utils.ProductManager;

var mgr:ProductManager =
new ProductManager(“airappinstaller”);

mgr.launch(“-launch ” +
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationID + ” ” +
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.publisherID);

stage.nativeWindow.close();

The code provided in the blog post works for me. But it is used in a Flex application. You can see that the Application class is located in the mx.core namespace. If you have a non-Flex AIR application this namespace is not available and you will need the NativeApplication class which is located in the flash.desktop namespace.

I haven’t tried it, but I suppose it should also work.

Thank you so much.
