Hi Markus,

Thanks for trying it out.  For Falcon/FalconJX, the installer was supposed
to force you to choose an existing Flex SDK folder, not an empty one
because the Falcon compiler installer wants overlays the MXMLC compiler
and then you shouldn't have to set FLEX_HOME.  I'll take a look at why the
installer let you pick an empty folder.

Thanks,
-Alex
