I think the Flex SDK Installer is using captive runtime. The source is here: https://github.com/apache/flex-utilities/tree/master/installer I think we use the installer that comes with the AIR SDK?
However, we only support Mac and Windows. Not sure about Linux. This post seems to indicate that AIR on Linux doesn't support captive runtime: https://community.adobe.com/t5/air/best-way-to-package-an-air-application-for-linux/td-p/8573764?page=1 I do not know much about Linux or AIR on Linux. I'd be concerned that the version of AIR for Linux may be missing important security updates. I guess you can try to run the Windows version under WINE, but it may not work well. If you have money, you may want to work with Harman on a custom solution to buy you time to migrate to JS.

Flash Builder creates a folder with many files and sub folders. I need to create installers for Windows, Mac & Linux.

From the limited information I found I think the badge uses Flash player, which will not work in the near future. So I am back where I started. What are people doing to create a Adobe Badge equivalent? Paul R. Stearns Advanced Consulting Enterprises, Inc. 15280 NW 79th Ct.

I would prefer an option which would check if an acceptable version of AIR is already installed, and install AIR if not. The end goal would be to create an item on a web site where the user clicks, if the app is already installed it starts the app, if not it allows the user to download everything needed to install the app. Paul R.
