Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014 v.13 - Manual (Page 686)

For more information, see the dialog box options listed below.
The first time you create an Adobe AIR file, Dreamweaver creates an application.xml file in your site root folder. This file serves as a
manifest, defining various properties of the application.
The following describes the options in the AIR Application and Installer Settings dialog box:
Application File Name is the name used for the application executable file. By default, the extension uses the name of the Dreamweaver
site to name the file. You can change the name if you prefer. However, the name must contain only valid characters for files or folder names.
(That is, it can only contain ASCII characters, and cannot end with a period.) This setting is required.
Application Name is the name that appears on installation screens when users install the application. Again, the extension specifies the
name of the Dreamweaver site by default. This setting does not have character restrictions, and is not required.
Application ID identifies your application with a unique ID. You can change the default ID if you prefer. Do not use spaces or special
characters in the ID. The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z, . (dot), and - (dash). This setting is required.
Version specifies a version number for your application. This setting is required.
Initial Content specifies the start page for your application. Click the Browse button to navigate to your start page and select it. The chosen
file must reside inside the site root folder. This setting is required.
Description lets you specify a description of the application to display when the user installs the application.
Copyright lets you specify a copyright that is displayed in the About information for Adobe AIR applications installed on the Macintosh. This
information is not used for applications installed on Windows.
Window Style specifies the window style (or chrome) to use when the user runs the application on their computer. System chrome
surrounds the application with the operating system standard window control. Custom chrome (opaque) eliminates the standard system
chrome and lets you create a chrome of your own for the application. (You build the custom chrome directly in the packaged HTML page.)
Custom chrome (transparent) is like Custom chrome (opaque), but adds transparent capabilities to the edges of the page, allowing for
application windows that are not rectangular in shape.
Window Size specifies the dimensions of your application window when it opens.
Icon lets you select custom images for the application icons. (The default images are Adobe AIR images that come with the extension.) To
use custom images, click the Select Icon Images button. Then, in the Icon Images dialog box that appears, click the folder for each icon size
and select the image file you want to use. AIR only supports PNG files for application icon images.
Note: Selected custom images must reside in the application site, and their paths must be relative to the site root.
Associated File Types lets you associate file types with your application. For more information, see the section that follows.
Application Updates determines whether the Adobe AIR Application Installer or the application itself performs updates to new versions of
Adobe AIRapplications. The check box is selected by default, which causes the Adobe AIR Application Installer to perform updates. If you
want your application to perform its own updates, deselect the checkbox. Keep in mind that if you deselect the checkbox, you then need to
write an application that can perform updates.
Included Files specifies which files or folders to include in your application. You can add HTML and CSS files, image files, and JavaScript
library files. Click the Plus (+) button to add files, and the folder icon to add folders. You should not include certain files such as
_mmServerScripts, _notes, and so on. To delete a file or folder from your list, select the file or folder and click the Minus (-) button.
Digital Signature Click Set to sign your application with a digital signature. This setting is required. For more information, see the section
that follows.
Program Menu Folder specifies a subdirectory in the Windows Start Menu where you want the application’s shortcut created. (Not
applicable on Macintosh.)
Destination specifies where to save the new application installer (.air file). The default location is the site root. Click the Browse button to
select a different location. The default file name is based on the site name with an .air extension added to it. This setting is required.
The following is an example of the dialog box with some basic options set:
