-----------------------------------
Summary: FOR 5 YEARS THE INSTALLER HASN*T WORKED FLAWLESSLY
Key: FLEX-35403
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35403
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Installer
Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.16.1
Reporter: Sami Al-beik
My good, never ever has the installer ever worked flawlessly. There's ALWAYS
something that isn't working, there's always some time where it fails. CAN
SOMEBODY PLEASE FIX THE INSTALLER -> IT NEVER WORKED. I have had multiple fresh
installs of the entire computer, on windows and on max, I have tried to install
it on virtual machines and none-virtual. Sometimes it works and sometimes (most
times) it doesn't. It's always the same it fucking fails during the process -
mostly when when installering the Air sdk .... 8/10 times that's the reason. I
have to go get the sdk mylself and install it manuelly ... can't continue the
process ... have to copy the flex sdk from others and put it all together
manuelly and make it work.
ALSO WHO THE F# MADE THE 32bit-> 64 bit part? Sometimes this retard
implementation is failing. It discovers that the system is 64bit -> it closes
... yeah and then its crashing and can't start the 64bit version. Now how can I
install the SDK if the installer is crashing on startup. MAKE A 64BIT BINARY
AND MAKE A 32 BIT BINARY -> give the user to start the version they need.
Now it might all just be some really poor error messages - IT ALLWAYS JUST
TELLS US THAT IT FAILED - Now what should I use this for ? WTF is wrong? give
us some useful info, THE INFO MUST BE SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. The
guy who is handling the error messages -> FIRE HIM, for 5 years he has been
giving us USELESS error messages.
