flex installer fails to download 4.12, but not 4.13
Hello,
I'm trying to download Flex 4.12 and it always fails, when the installer
tries to download afe.jar from Adobe Opensource site, as that one requires
password. I tried to download Flex 4.13 and that one managed to finish ok.
Does anyone have any idea, why it is happening?
relevant part of the install log:
Version 3.1.0 (windows)
Using Locale: sk_SK
...
Downloading swfobject_2_2.zip from: http://swfobject.googlecode.com/files

Yes, we should have a pointer to older releases. They are here:

Hello,
oh yeah I've had the feeling that I've read about it before, but wasn't
sure which versions were affected. Thanks for the link to the binaries, but
they are not available there. Clicking on the download link produces 404
Not found. I guess the page is still generated, but the links don't work
because you removed it from your main apache server and it already
propagated to all backups and regions.
It would be pretty good, if older binary releases and links to them were
available somewhere on the site, at least as long as there are problems
with the installer. In some cases you are locked-in to an older version of
flex and you need to build something on a different platform than the one
you primarily use for development. And frankly at this point it is not
possible.
And as we are at it, I've noticed one thing: if you hover your mouse at
flex.a.o over "Download Flex", third option from top is "SDK BINARIES (FOR
SDK DEVELOPERS)" - shouldn't there be "FOR APPLICATION DEVELOPERS"? Or if
it is for sdk devs as well, then maybe without specifying whom it suits
most?
Anyway, thank you very much for help.

This is a known issue but right now we don't have a fix for it:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34540
You can download 4.12 binary from one of the Apache mirrors:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/flex/4.12.0/binaries
Thanks,
