Andrew, You don't need admin rights to run an .exe file. Typically, you need admin rights to run an _installer_, but if your app is a single self-contained .exe then there's no need for an installer.
I have ScreenweaverHX/Flash apps running happily without admin rights on Vista, XP and 98 as a standalone .exe (that self-unpacks into a temporary folder to run). The other solution you might want to take a look at is Apollo, particularly if you are looking at AS3. HTH, Ian On 5/21/07, Andrew Sinning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sounds like a good exe shell for Flash, but it requires an exe, i.e. Admin rights. The advantage of Java is that end users in corporate and other environments can typically run Java apps without Admin rights.
