Captive Runtime - Check for Updated DLLs?

[mrentropy]

Hi,

I work in an environment where users do not have local admin rights on their workstations. I have read the following useful article, and plan to use that for development:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/customize-setup-for-AIR-app-with-captive-runtime.html

However, as the article points out, users will not be alerted in the case of AIR runtime updates. My question: is there an alternative? Is it possible to check when AIR dll files are updated programatically? What is recommended?

Thanks,

[mrentropy]

Anyone?

No, there is no way provided by AIR SDK to checked for updated Runtime for a captive application.

If the developer of the captive AIR app feels the need of using a newer Runtime (becuase of a new feature or to make use of any performance improvement), they should re-pacakge their app using the latest SDK and push an update of the app.

Thanks for the answer, Romil. My main fear is not updating in time to handle a security fix. Is there any sort of RSS feed or other Adobe-sponsored method of being notified as new AIR updates are deployed?
