The Adobe Air 1.5 UpdateFramework still not work with Air2 Native Applications, but you can use it to compare the App-Version and offer download the new installer.exe. We have to stop the Updater to hide the default update Dialog, because it wants to download the *.air file (not usable for us). We need only compare the version itself that we got by setting the "isNewerVersionFunction"-property, and within stoping the UpdateProcess and offer downloading the new Installer.exe:

private function checkForUpdate():void
{
	      // Server-side XML file describing update
	      appUpdater.updateURL = ApplicationController.UPDATE_URL;
	      // We won't ask permission to check for an update
	      appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;
	      //versions detection
	      appUpdater.isNewerVersionFunction = compareVersion;
	       // Once initialized, run onUpdate
	      appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, updateInitializedHandler);
	      // If something goes wrong, run onError
	      appUpdater.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, updateErrorHandler);
	      // Initialize the update framework
	       appUpdater.initialize();
}
private function compareVersion(currentVersion:String, updateVersion:String):Boolean
{
           //stop showing default updater dialogbox
	   appUpdater.cancelUpdate();
	  //compare versions
	if(currentVersion != updateVersion)
	{
		// set an information text for the user
		var dialogCopy:String = "An new version " +updateVersion + " is available. Click to download.";

                 // or directly
		 navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://urltomyinstallerfile.exe"));
	}

	return false;
}

First: Don't embed fonts directly into .swc Files. This makes Flexbuilder very very slow!

Great working instructions!

My remark to point #1, "Creating the Bare Bones BlazeDS Configuration:
Instead of doing the overwrite the contents of your "WebContent" directory with the BlazeDS directory structure manually, you can use the import feature of Eclipse:

1. Choose the folder "WebContent"
2. Right-click-> Import-> General-> File System
3. Set "From Directory" to: [BlazeDS folder] \tomcat\webapps\BlazeDS
4. Mark the needed Folder inside of the blazeds-Folder: META-INF & WEB-INF
5. Set "Into folder" to: [MyProjectName]/WebContent
6. Select Option: Overwrite existing resources ...
7. Click Finish
