Hi,
I have been implementing the Express Install feature on my site for the last
few days, and after extensively testing it, I have found some of the servers
it relays on are intermittently not available. It really fails very often.
I have tested this for several days, on different browsers, and using the
default playerProductInstall.swf, and customizing it.
The result is always the same a good percentage of the times (maybe more
than 50% I would say):
The Express Install dialog comes up as expected, with the spining circle,
then is says 'Connecting..." and it stays there for as long as you wait.
If it fails and you immediately try again it usually fails again. You have
to try at a later time, like 20-30 minutes later and see if it works then.
I have noticed a similar unreliability on some pages at the old macromedia
website (the problem is usually that it can't connect to the server).
Does anybody have experienced this problem. Could you test it on your site,
or here:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/expressinstall.html
(you need an older flash player)
I have also just tested this url:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
(which is often included as the embed tag pluginspage url), and this fails
as well (cannot find server)
Please let me know if it works in your tests.
Thank you very much
Orange
