> Richard, maybe I misunderstand what you are describing, but I like the idea of installing a single runtime engine to run much smaller and easily installed app. I'd love to see something similar for LiveCode, and then "apps" would just consist of the stack file. No platform-specific installers or standalones to build.  I find the AIR installation process pretty seemless. An extra download the first time, but part of the same installation process.  (I agree that the AIR update notifications can be annoying.)

That last sentence says it all.

With LC we have the freedom to deliver collections of apps that run off 
of a single standalone, or not, as we choose.

And with "go url" we can delver updates or even whole new apps without 
ever replacing the standalone.
