Mac 27.0.0.128: starting an AIR application opens a window "Adobe AIR is trying to install a new helper tool" every time

Hi there!

I've discovered the same behaviour with an app we created with AIR.  We have a set of apps, and we have them set to publish in a common directory inside the Applications folder (called mathies), and this morning, this is what I've found:

IF the app is INSIDE the subfolder, then, everytime I click on a file associated with the app to open it, I get the "Enter password to install a new helper" request - which - as you point out above, doesn't matter whether you answer or cancel - it starts the app and loads the file.  BUT ... it is annoying, and potentially scary for users.

ALSO - if the app is INSIDE the subfolder, then when the app icon is in the Dock, file associations don't seem to be recognized, and I can't drag a file on top of it to auto-launch the app.

HOWEVER - if the app is DIRECTLY in the Applications folder, then everything works beautiful.  Double clicking on a related data file opens up the app without a nagging password request.  Dragging a file on top of it in the Dock launches perfectly ... life is fine as we know it.   Just messier, and a longer list of apps to scroll through instead of clustered together like the happy family they want to be in a tidy subfolder.

Is there a solution - or - do I just need to live with my apps being free range inside the big bad Applications folder?
