Few things about the installer
Hi, I've just launched the RC installer and noticed a few things
1) http://d.pr/i/hTm6 the interface is in english but the selected language
is deutsch
2) the installer downloads osmf.swc but not osmf.swf RSL file, would it be
possible to download it too?
3) Any reason not allowing to to download to a non empty folder? I did get
the wrong AIR/FP version so I tried to just download the right one and was
forced to download everything just to pick the right FP/AIR.
BTW, cherry picking SDK/FP/AIR versions is a great addition! Thank you for
that!

From my testing, it seems like the air-config.xml needs to have a
swf-version that matches that of flex-config.xml. If it doesnt match, you
will see an Error 305 [1]:
305
Initial window content SWF version exceeds namespace version
The SWF version of the file referenced in the <content> element of the
application descriptor is not supported by the version of AIR specified in
the descriptor namespace. For example, attempting to package a SWF10 (Flash
Player 10) file as the initial content of an AIR 1.1 application will
generate this error.

Should be possible, if you are on OSX there are scripts in the ide directory that can do this for you. Please raise a JIRA issue for this.
When a new AIR/FP version comes out it would be better if you could just update an existing SDK rather than end up with dozen of SDKs

Can be different, it's possible be on 11.8 FP but be on any version of AIR (not sure why you woudl do this but it possible). The currently installer takes this into account when selected FP/AIR versions.
Thanks,

Hi,
I was in there and JIRA was missing the 2.6 version so I went ahead and added them. Not added the language one however - not 100% what the issue is there.

I prefer it this way as well. The swf-version would be different for
different combinations of runtimes.

i think i prefer it that way, makes sure not mixing versions, etc. justin warned
about just copying stuff around & after trying to get the SDK installed
manually, i have to agree.
and since we're making installer feature requests, i think making the install
log permanent would be nice--stored as a file someplace, maybe tossed into the
install dir?? with a new log file for each install attempt.

I havent seent this issue before. Is it possible for you debug from the
source code and see what's happening?

I am not sure about this. Does Flex 4.6 have the swf? Alex/Justin - any
idea of this is possible?

I started the Installer app started by mimicking the original shell script.
I guess this came from there. I am sure we can handle this in a better
way. Please open a JIRA ticket under the Installer component.

Same thing here... Maybe this is an issue on non-US language machines?

I was wondering the same thing. Why not (after a warning perhaps)
empty the selected folder? That would allow for repeated downloads of
e.g. nightly builds to the same directory.
