Sidecar AIR Runtime install with Native .exe installer using ADT

I have packaged my AIR app into a Native .exe installer using ADT. If the user does not have air installed and they are connected to the internet, the AIR runtime is automatically installed.

Is it possible to package the AIR runtime into the exe so that if the user is not online the AIR runtime is installed?

I have experimented with the sidecar install and .air file but ideally I want to only have the one file(.exe). I already have a distribution licence from Adobe.

This isn't available at this time, but I think it's a great idea.  You might want to add a feature request for this over at ideas.adobe.com and bugbase.adobe.com, or review and vote for these current feature requests if they provide for what you're looking for:
