  I was unaware that functionality was out in the wild.  They've talked

  I'm unsure of specifics, but why not?  It will be a 'version 1' 
feature, per this FAQ:
 
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR:Developer_FAQ#Can_I_create_CD-ROM_or_Kiosk_applications_that_leverage_Adobe_AIR.3F

  If they have the automated installer built, why can't it be put onto a CD?
