4.16.0 Install issues (was Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Flex 4.16.0 released)

[Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>]

Adding dev@...

I just noticed that there is a bug in the installer.xml and the Installer
will not install 4.16.0 on Mac with FP/AIR 23 and older.  It will only
work with FP/AIR 24 and newer.  I haven't tried Windows, but it should be
ok.

I am hopeful very few people will want to install 4.16 with FP/AIR 23 and
older on Mac.  Does anybody disagree?  Otherwise I will make FP/AIR 24 the
default.  Folks who have to have 4.16 with FP/AIR 23 and older can use a
recent version of Ant and install via Ant.

Thoughts?

You can use
FP/AIR 23 and older then use one of the upgrade scripts.


+1 for this approach.

I think we should add these steps to a wiki page and keep it handy for
folks who want this.

In fact,  simply copying over a different AIR SDK should work as well.

Thanks,

Probably.  The issue is the installer script tries to see AIR SDK is a
tbz2 or dmg file.  The Installer uses ant_on_air which uses Ant 1.7 logic
and it fails to detect tbz2 and always tries the dmg route.  That's why
actually using Ant 1.9 works.

So, AFAICT, the situation is that the Installer can install 4.16.0 with
FP/AIR 24 and newer, and 4.15.0 and earlier with FP/AIR 23 and older.
4.16.0 with FP/AIR 23 and older can be installed via Ant 1.9 or newer, and
4.15.0 with FP/AIR 24 and newer cannot be installed at all.  You can use
FP/AIR 23 and older then use one of the upgrade scripts.

I think there is some reason to use very old versions of AIR ( < 4), but
between AIR 4 and 23 it should be ok.   Do you know if it effects the old
ones (which still support some older OSs)?
