I don't know exactly what is planned for the Flex SDK Installer. However, for the Feathers SDK Manager, I'm waiting on Adobe to release a stable build of AIR that supports 64-bit Windows captive runtime. They had a beta on Adobe Labs, but I'm not sure when they plan to release a stable version.
For those who are not aware why this error happens, here's the gist: The file size of the AIR 25 SDK is significantly larger than previous SDKs, and a 32-bit version of AIR can't allocate enough memory to properly download it and unzip it. 64-bit apps are able to allocate more memory, so this error will not happen with a 64-bit version of AIR. Hypothetically, some of the code in the installer, and the unzip library it uses, could probably be rewritten to use URLStream and FileStream to load only a small portion of the file into memory at a time. I'm not familiar enough with the zip file format to tackle that part, but if Adobe takes much longer on 64-bit Windows support, I guess I'll have no choice but to dig in and figure it out. Unfortunately, I also haven't been able to reproduce this issue in my Windows VM, so that's going to be a challenge. - Josh On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 8:37 AM, Hans Nuecke <[email protected]> wrote: > Since a long time the installer (Flex, AIR) always stops with an error > after downloading the air SDK: > > Installation abgebrochen (Installation aborted) > > Error #1000 > > Lade Adobe AIR Runtime Kit für Windows von: http://airdownload.adobe.com/a > ir/win/download/25.0//AdobeAIRSDK.zip > > I know this can be fixed in downloading the air sdk directly using that > link or from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html > > But especially for people considering starting with Flex this can be a > pain and show stopper. > Is it just me or is this still a know and accepted/ignored problem? > > I know you have a lot of tings on your plate, that's why I waited at least > half y ear before asking ;-) > > Thanks for (at least) an update on the status! > > Regards > Hans > -- > > >
