If you want to update the Adobe AIR runtime manually you have to disable the auto-update capability. Using the AIR SettingsManager you can disable it.
AIR SettingsManager is a small application that use a toggle button to Enable or Disable auto-updates as desired.
Download AIR SettingsManager application.
Interesting.. So you can change something in the runtime with an Air app?

No need to run the Air Settings Manager -- it's the biggest sham I've ever seen. All it does is drop two empty files inside the user's %APPDATA% folder...and there's no light-touch method of deploying the Air Settings Manager and automatically clicking their buttons.
Try this in a batch file:
cd "%APPDATA%\Adobe\Air"
type nul > UpdateDisabled
type nul > eulaAccepted
Good luck!

Hi
@Nuri: Thanks for that. I need to disable the updater on a number of machines, and was not to fond of the idea about visiting each one to install and run the manager.
How did Adobe come up with such an awkward solution to such a simple task!?!? I don't get it.
