We've got Novell's Zen product to manage software on the Windows desktops, and 
our IT guys were able to very quickly get the runtime and app to work with 
it, once signing up to the AIR re-dist. agreement.

Re: [flexcoders] Hi! And a question about installing an AIR app

Yes, you need admin rights for both installing the runtime and the apps.

You can just deploy the installed files I think, but you lose the
uninstall functionality, and possibly the updating functionality. The
former isn't that important to you anyway if your desktops are
managed.

Haven't tried deploying AIR apps in such an environment, but may
possibly be doing so in the next few months, so I'll be interested to
see how you deal with it.

 First of all, I'd like to say hi to everyone. I'm new to Flex and happy to 
 find such an active group.

 I'm developing an AIR application at work and need to deploy it on a few 
 desktops in one of our offices. The users do not have admin rights and the 
 desktop is pretty well locked down. Does anyone know if they need admin 
 rights to install an AIR app or do they just need it to install the AIR 
 Runtime? My other alternative is to use SMS to push out the install.

 I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with experience with AIR in an enterprise 
 environment.

 Thanks.
