Creating a standalone AIR app

For this DVD project I'm working on there is a requirement to let a user save selected photos to their computer. Flash of course does not allow this unless you host the files on a live server so I have been considering wrapping the whole thing in Zinc. At one point I considered AIR -- but the fact that the AIR runtime has to be installed before you can run an AIR app, killed that idea.

But, as luck (or Providence) might have it, I just got a RSS feed entry that talked about Shu -- which allows you to create standalone AIR apps. This could be just the ticket:
