Hello! I currently run a game that uses a native installer for the Windows desktop runtimes to make use of the self-updating capabilities. I noticed that the 64bit Windows version has been out for a while now, but only for captive runtimes.
Are there plans to bring this to native as well or am I out of luck? Just wanting to hear one way or another to see if I should wait it out. I could really use those bits! 
I like the idea of having a secondary swf that functions as a loader, capable to downloading a newer swf and then replacing the swf that's currently in the application bundle. I think I ran into a SecurityError when trying to swap files within the folder/mac app, but I could look into it again.
The only thing preventing me from trying that method is the problem of how to update the AIR runtime itself. I wasn't able to find a way to copy new frameworks into the app folder and then remove the old ones, which would then also require the app to restart itself. I could check on my server for a new AIR framework, but getting it in the right spot is presenting an issue.
