Re: MD5 hash for Flash Player Broken (again)
Hi, playerglobal.swc file, I'd say the odds that we need the checksums for FP15 are low. Maybe that file is small enough to be successful almost all of the time I think that's the case although we do get the occasional error for FP player global swcs. Justin
MD5 hash for Flash Player Broken (again)
Hi, Looks like the MD5 of Flash Player has changed again. Perhaps we shouldn't check the hash of Flash Player beta's give they change so frequently? Thanks, Justin
Re: MD5 hash for Flash Player Broken (again)
We stopped checking 14 beta after a while. Is there a way to see if folks then truly got bad downloads of 14 beta? Maybe the analytics show how many 14-betas were successful and how many failed? -Alex On 8/27/14 8:57 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, Looks like the MD5 of Flash Player has changed again.

Re: MD5 hash for Flash Player Broken (again)
Hi, Maybe the analytics show how many 14-betas were successful and how many failed? As we get the same error in each case it's impossible to tell,, but my guess is that we have had more installs fails as the MD5 hash was not updated vs ordinary download failures of the Flash Player swc. Justin
Re: MD5 hash for Flash Player Broken (again)
Sorry, I wasn't clear. Sometime after July 22, I think the MD5 for FP14 beta got removed from sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml which would then cause the installer to not checksum the download. The download would be trusted and if it was truly bad, would result in an error later. If it were the AIR SDK MD5 that was removed then the installer would likely fail trying to unzip the AIR SDK, but as I was writing this, I realized that the playerglobal is not unzipped, so the install would succeed and then someone would not be able to compile and we might hear about that on the list, or they would have tried again. So you're right that we probably can't get good data, but removing the MD5 and then getting a corrupted download should result in a different error. But given that I don't think we heard any yelping on the list, about a bad playerglobal.swc file, I'd say the odds that we need the checksums for FP15 are low. Maybe that file is small enough to be successful almost all of the time. -Alex On 8/27/14 9:16 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, Maybe the analytics show how many 14-betas were successful and how many failed?
