Justin Mclean commented on FLEX-34425:
--------------------------------------
There are two main reasons (ignoring caching) the MD5 chaco could fail:
- The file downloaded is corrupt
- The MD5 was not obtained correct from the dist area.
Currently the code does't check that the MD5 is valid, we should check for this
and continue if we don't have a valid MD5.
> Make MD5 change non fatal

> Key: FLEX-34425
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34425
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: InstallApacheFlex, Installer
> Affects Versions: Install Apache Flex 3.1
> Reporter: Justin Mclean
>
> If the MD5 changes for player global swc (or other download component) the
> installer fails to complete and will continue to do so for all user until the
> MD5 hash is updated. Would be better to warn user there is a difference
> explain the two possible reasons (i.e. bad download now possible cached in
> your browser cache or newer version of software available) and ask to
> continue.
