OK. IIRC, the 32-bit Apache Flex Installer shuts itself down and launches a 64-bit version of itself. It is pretty much doing what you said (two full copies of AIR). The code is here:
https://github.com/apache/flex-utilities/blob/develop/flex-installer/installer/src/InstallApacheFlex.mxmlFWIW, you can probably make it appear that the initial process shutdown by managing the various AIR NativeWindows. But if you really need to shut down the initial process, I don't know of any other way.

Are you trying to create a separate process for security or memory reasons? Otherwise, just load the SWF in another NativeWindow.

I have an acceptable (mostly) work around. If I move the second application into a subfolder of the first I can easily run the second application. This however requires that I carry an extra ~36 MB of AIR executables with it.
Is there any way to tell a captive runtime executable where the AIR modules can be found?

Subject: Multiple AIR executables in the same folder
I would like to have multiple AIR executables (captive runtime) in the same folder. It appears that a captive runtime runs a standard executable which looks for a file .META-INF\AIR\application.xml which defines the actual swf file to run.
Will the executable accept as a parameter, the name of the "application.xml" file to use?
If so I could have two different files.
What I am trying to accomplish is to have one AIR application call another. and packaging them into the same folder would make my life easier.
