AIR does need installation, but PPRo 2010 installer does it for you. It also installs Python.
No software stands alone anymore - not since the days of assembly language in the 80s. If you build a program in C#, then the user has to have .NET installed. If you build it in C++, the user has to have the C++ runtime libraries installed. If you build it in Java, the user has to have the Java runtime installed. If you build it in Flex/AS3 the user has to have Flash or AIR installed. Get over it.
I'm really not interested in having another pre-release negotiation with users about engineering decisions. Suffice to say that some of us have to actually build stuff, and others just get to sit around complaining about how that was done.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
