Couldn't repro. What is AIR_HOME pointing to? BTW, I was able to reproduce the "invalid application descriptor" issue by pointing AIR_HOME to AIR 3.9. But I can't repro this "Inconsistent Linkage" issue. In the vote thread you mentioned someone about the "Latest SDK" and "Latest develop branch" so I'm not sure how those factor in. > >> 2) The Installer apparently has not and does not provide the correct >>build >> numbers for the RSLs for 4.11 and older releases (except for >> OSMF.swc/swf).

Yes, you're right, I keep forgetting the build.xml is not at the top-level. What do others think should we fix the README in an R8 or ship as is? > >Also the locale issue is a -1 for me even if the issue is elsewhere, we >can't release the installer if there an issue like this. If you look at >the installs of 4.12 only about 16% of installs are from the USA. I guess the folks who tested the installer must have the right locales for their projects otherwise we'd be seeing more complaints? IMO this mainly affects using 4.12 installed with the new installer to compile the installer? What do other's think? Should we hold off on this installer until we fix 4.12? -Alex
