One of the nicest features of AIR is the seamless install provided by the installer badge available from Adobe. Unfortunately, it takes a little digging to pull out exactly how it works, and I’m not someone who wants to rewrite things on a regular basis. Additionally, the seamless installer badge is build in Flash, something us hard-boiled Flex developers find hard to swallow.

The goal of this particular package is to provide a simple reusable component that handles all the seamless install features, and gives the developer skinning control over the entire component.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This control requires Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115 or later.
