Include .exe in AIR installer

1
votes

I'm trying to create an installer file for my AIR app. I export release build and include all my elements, i.e. assets, a 3rd party .exe file, etc. But my output says file is damaged.

Is there s/thing about this .exe file that is doing this? Do I need to create a customer installer to handle running this? I'm guessing that if I want it installed silently then yes.

Thanks for any tips!

How are you exporting a release build? Which version of AIR are you using? What exe are you trying to include? [and what do you expect it to do?] - JeffryHouser
I export my release build to an AIR file (as opposed to a native installer). In this AIR file, I'm trying to include a 3rd party .exe file (basically, a video component for my app). I would like to initiate the .exe automatically and have it set up all its DLL files and create its location, i.e. C:/my3rdPartyApp. - fumeng

You want to initiate the .exe automatically how? Using NativeProcess? Or do you have an Native Extension setup? Or something else? - JeffryHouser
Great question...I have no idea what the options are. What is the best approach? - fumeng
