A new version of the Adobe AIR SDK download was posted on 10/1/2007.The Adobe Labs has released the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), which provides this functionality.
Adobe describes AIR as a cross-operating system runtime that allows developers to leverage existing Web development skills to build and deploy rich Web applications to the desktop. It provides support for Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, and AJAX.
Getting the software:
This download provides the beta 1 version of Adobe AIR. This runtime is no longer recommended for use, but may be required for applications that have not been updated to use beta 2. The Adobe AIR beta 1 was released on June 11, 2007 and contains a timeout that will cause it to stop working on December 11, 2007.

Download for Macintosh (DMG, 8 MB)
Download for Windows (EXE, 9 MB)
To get started with AIR development, you must install the AIR runtime on your computer. Once it is installed, you may download sample applications to see AIR in action and possibly take a peek under the covers at its code.
There are two downloads relevant to AIR development:
•Runtime provides the runtime environment for running AIR applications. Downloads are available for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
•Software Development Kit (SDK) provides everything necessary to build AIR applications. This includes templates, Adobe AIR APIs, and debugger and developer tools. The SDK is available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms. The command line debugger and developer tools require a Java installation (JRE or JDK version 1.4.2 or newer).
Additional downloads are available that allow you to build AIR applications within specific Web development tools:
•Adobe Flex Builder 3: Includes support for building Flex applications on Adobe AIR from within Flex Builder.
•Adobe Flex SDK: Allows you to build AIR applications via Flex.
•Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver CS3: Adds support for building AIR applications within Dreamweaver CS3.
•Adobe AIR Extension for Flash CS3 Professional: Allows you to build AIR applications with Flash CS3 Professional.
In addition, a plug-in is available for the Aptana IDE. Once the runtime is installed, you can easily install and run AIR applications, and the SDK allows you to build AIR applications.
