Ok I made a copy of the app thats not working "NonWorkingCoolvisi" tried to install it to bring up the error and then went through the ".airappinstall.log" process and it produced the following log:-
Starting app install of file:///C:/Users/Gaz/Desktop/NonWorkingCoolvisi.air UI SWF load is complete UI initialized Unpackaging to C:\Users\Gaz\AppData\Local\Temp\fla50FA.tmp failed while unpackaging: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="invalid package signature" errorID=5022] starting cleanup of temporary files application installer exiting Any ideas what this means and how I could fix it?
