How to use AIR with Windows Server 2008?

I installed my app with AIR on a Windows Server 2008 and can use the app with the Windows Remote Desktop, but what other options are there to use AIR with Windows Server?

If I want to invoke the app from a web page with the 'badge', it means I need to use badge.swf, which Adobe does not support flash player in the browser soon.

Is ColdFusion an option in 2018? What other options are there?

Does Adobe have any documentation which would help me to stream an AIR app?

You seem to confuse many different things

A server does not need a GUI to execute process
so when you install/run an AIR app via RDP you do have a GUI

but that's for your current user session

a badge.swf is for installing an AIR app from a web page

wether the server (which serve the page) is windows/linux/whatever

and then you talk about streaming an AIR app?

I would guess what you want is either a server-side process
like Perl/PHP/Python/ASP.net/etc.

the classic user request the server and the server returns a response

or for windows server you would want a background process or service
eg. a process that run without a GUI

Adobe AIR "as is" does not really support server-side process or background process


maybe you should try to explain what you are trying to do ?

I was hoping to do a couple of things.

1.  Silent install an app (.air or projector) from a web page. I've looked into using the Adobe 'badge' for this.

2.  Run an app on a server as part of a background process.

You need to produce an MSI to do silent install and so you can not do such install from a web page
eg. /quiet or /qn option with msiexec

technically you could launch an AIR without a GUI with a windows schedule

but it is slow and not a real background service
