I discovered a new option in Flash Builder 4.5
Export as:
Signed native installer
This actually produces a native installer instead of the AIR installer. The application still requires AIR however as its still an AIR application. I haven't tested yet what happens if you attempt to install this without AIR installed, but I assume it will want you to install AIR first.
What I would really love to see is it produce a native application, and not just an installer, and bundle all required into a single standalone exe. There are other products out there that do this already, my favourite being MDM Zinc.

It has already been existed since FB 4.0.
And the problem is only EXE in Windows environment can be produce. For Mac, you have to compile in Mac OS X and so do Linux.
It's not a native application, it's a native installer. It still requires AIR to be installed. Native installers let you use native extensions, which are native apps that communicate with your AIR app via standard in/out to let your AIR app use features not yet available in AIR.
oh yes, it just an installer, insider is a SWF and a EXE as a wrapper.
In my opinion it's all about make a native installer created for Mac and Windows with the Flex SDK which also installs the Adobe AIR runtime if this is not available. 3 Years ago I build a CD application with Flex 3 but I have to use software like Advance Installer (http://www.advancedinstaller.com/) to complete the project.
I tried to build a Redistributing the Adobe AIR Runtime Installer but with not luck with this post from Mike.
