Hi All
Is there any other techniques (other than Socket) exist in AIR to run/load an external application?
Thanks in Advance

Prashanth,
There is currently no supported way to launch external processes with AIR. I won't say that you can't since just about anything is possible with enough ingenuity, but it's not supported.
This is a feature that we see a lot of requests for and that we are currently investigating for a future version of AIR.
Thanks,
Christian
What I would have done is to develop C#/VB .net application that would run my desired executable. I would have deployed this application as Click Once deployment withan option to take in the querystring parameters.
for example:
http://myserver/external.application?param1=calc.exe
I would have executed the above from within adobe flex, which then would have downloaded the C#/VB .net application and would have executed your desired application, in this case calc.exe. (ofcourse in C#/VB .net application above I would have invoked calc.exe to run). So all in all I would have wrapped the call of calc.exe in my custom C#/VB .net application.
thanks
