How to update the AIR included in Flash Builder SDK?

Question

So, the Flash Builder SDK comes with a version of AIR, which it uses when you package a mobile app for iOS (Android mobile apps are run with the AIR that's downloaded from the Marketplace)... On my Windows machine, this "built-in" copy of AIR is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\runtimes\" unless I'm mistaken.

I'm pretty sure that it does not automatically update itself -- and I'm equally certain that it's a pretty old version of AIR, because it's the one that was included with the 4.6 SDK which was released 8 months ago...

So how do I update this version of AIR that's built into the Flash Builder SDK?

Thanks,

Oops -- never mind... Didn't realize there was a separate AIR SDK that you could download -- I thought it was integrated into the Flex SDK, and since there hasn't been a new Flex SDK since 4.6, I thought I had to somehow grab pieces and parts of AIR to update this manually...

But grabbing the AIR SDK from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html did the trick... Just unzipped that into the sdks\4.6.0 folder and was done... Sweet...
