Is it possible to run an Adobe AIR app without installing it? The AIR runtime is already installed, and we need a solution to control the 'installation' of applications - so what we need is run an adobe air app which just runs and doesn't presents the installer when launched.

Yes it is. Adobe call it a captive runtime, and I believe this is only supported under Adobe Air 3.0 and up.

Their website does a good job of explaining various pros and cons at Packaging a captive runtime bundle for desktop computers
