Packaging an AIR application in a native installer

Question

Hi! I'm trying to create a native installer of my AIR Application,  because (I think) it's the only way make the native processes working.  But I have a problem: I used the following command to pack: "adt  -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx -target native  -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myCert.pfx myApp.exe myApp-app.xml", but I get  the error: "File myApp-app.xml is not a valid AIRI or AIR file". In the  Flash Builder I use as additional compiler arguments:  "-locale=pt_PT,en_UK,fr_FR,de_DE,ro_RO,es_ES  -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=assets" and I add the  source path "src/locale/{locale}/". What is the sintax for packing my  AIR application in a native installer? Thanks in advance.

Hi again! Thanks for the reply. I based myself on the link to see what command syntax I should use to pack my Air Windowed Application and it was the command that I presented in the previous post.
