Regarding the "pull the plug", I didn't mean it as a realistic scenario, and obviously it's not. It was just an easy way for me to detect how connection errors are handled in various places in the code, without looking in the source code. The better way (as someone suggested) would be to install a reverse proxy that can simulate network latency, but I don't have enough time for putting that in place, sorry. My concern about this is that folks in some places with not so good, or intermittent network connections, won't be able to use the installer to install FLEX SDK, and that would eventually give a bad image of the product. But I don't have any evidence of this. So let's wait until folks complain (if ever they do). Anyway, I won't vote -1 on the installer for this.

Could it be from an app underneath the installer? I can't reproduce getting stuck by unplugging during the download of the SDK. I've gotten it to partially download and then get stuck in the MD5 calculation on Windows 7 for VMWare. Right now, my sense is that, when the network is good, the installer is working fine. I think we've made things sufficient when there's no network at all at startup. But I'm beginning to question the value of spending more time on trying to make things better when you pull the plug during the install. Installer 2.7 and older have suffered from incomplete AIR SDK downloads that get stuck in the cache and I don't think it has been a detriment to the project. I don't think these pull-the-plug scenarios are going to be frequent enough, and they are getting harder to reproduce.
