Re: Installer broken for earlier versions of Apche Flex

So we would need to branch 4.12 and 4.12.1, modify the installer.xml, 
repackage, vote and release to fix?

I'm sure this isn't going to be the first time we get an issue like this. Could 
we have the install script check for updates and download a newer install 
script if needed?

4.9 and 4.10 uses OSMF 1, we don't have an alternative download path for that. 
So I'm unable to fix that unless we put the 1.0 swc somewhere we can get at it.

I can't see why 4.12 isn't actually working as the instal script does have 
paths that should work. Is this a bug with the installer?
