Custom Adobe AIR (badge) Installation Process

I have a silly question. Is there any way to make a custom adobe air application installer?

Now, after I click on the badge "install" button (on the web site), air app starts installation process in 4 steps (3 mouse clicks):

  1. First, I have 3 buttons ("open", "save" and "cancel"), I click on "open";
  2. Then I have 2 buttons ("install", "cancel"), and I have to click on "install";
  3. After that, I have options to change installation directory location, add shortcut icon on the desktop, and 2 buttons again ("continue" and "cancel"), I have to click on "continue";
  4. And finally, installation begins.

Is there any way to avoid some steps here (e.g. second step), or maybe to disable some buttons (like "save" button in the first step, or "add shortcut icon on my desktop" in the third)?

If it's not possible, is there any way to create custom air app installer?

Thanks

P.S. I don't have problem with these 3 mouse clicks during installation, but my clients consider that "I have" 1 extra click.

If you want custom badge style, you have to pack your app as captive runtime and create your own installer.
