Question

AIR application in KIOSK mode

Hi

I would like to develop AIR application that will work in KIOSK mode.

I have to use Native methods, so application will be released as Native Installer (.exe file).

Problem begins with updating application.

Imagine I have 20 kiosk running in low privileged rights /security reasons/.

I would like to update my application, so I have new .exe installation file.

But instalation requires admin right on machine with kiosk mode.

So I can't update it automaticly.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Many thanks.

Seriously ? No single answer ?

It's very important for our company. If we get no answer we will choose another technology?

It is not possible to work this way with NO support !

Sorry that you are still experiencing this problem.  Can you please log a bug here regarding the silent auto update enhancement request for users with low level privileges?  Thank you!

I apologize that I left the conversation like that.  I've been out of the office for the last month and a half so I didn't see your response.  In addition to what Lisa suggests, have you taken a look at some of the new installation options available in AIR 3? 

Installation and Deployment Options in AIR 3

I haven't been able to play around with them yet, but it sounds like the custom installer option might be useful in your case.

Hi Again

It would be really nice if I get some support from Adobe.

Is it other way to ask Adobe about support for its' products ?

I am really not happy with reply time, It's now more than 2 and a half week to get a simple answer !

Take a look at this article which discusses automatic updates for native installers:

Hello Chris,

Thanks for a reply but it was not about update mechanism.

I am using http://code.google.com/p/nativeapplicationupdater/ which works like a charm.

But when the downloaded update file runs there is an installer.

The (adobe air) installer requires permissions + OS admin rights + user agree to replace the old version.

[so there are 2 popups I don't want]

Is there any way to make it automaticly / silent way ?

Maybe some coniguration in Windows / Adobe AIR runtime ?
