[flexcoders] Re: Air File Is Damaged Error
I don't think so. In a project I made a while ago I have an app called coolvisi1. A few months back I created an air file from this very app called coolvisi1.air and I've tested it just now and it works perfectly. The app in question hasn't even been touched since back then. I've just tried to create another air file from it called coolvisi2.air and I got the error. However I've made another app the other day and tried to make an air file from that and it worked upon installation. This makes me think it's something to do with the code inside the app but how would I be able to find out what is causing this? Is there any way of looking at the contents of an air file to see exactly what is damaged and compare it to the contents of the one that works or something along those lines?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Air File Is Damaged Error
Are you including any other files in the package? I seem to remember that certain characters in their file names could cause this problem. Maybe an ampersand ??? I'm sorry, it was quite a while ago and I've forgottten exactly which char(s) caused it for me. There was a bug open on it at the time as I remember. Maybe worth having a quick scan through and see if theres anything unusual in there? An .air file is basically a .zip achive, by the way, if you need to look inside - take a copy and rename It to.zip These damaged errors seem to occur when the archive cannot be expanded, so a lack of space in your temp directory can also cause this. You can log the process by placing a file called .airappinstall.log in your home directory, by the way - the install process will be logged to that, so it may give you a litte more info as to the cause. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of James Sent: 12 February 2010 15:48 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Air File Is Damaged Error I don't think so.

I'm sorry, it was quite a while ago and I've forgottten exactly which char(s) caused it for me. There was a bug open on it at the time as I remember. Maybe worth having a quick scan through and see if theres anything unusual in there? An .air file is basically a .zip achive, by the way, if you need to look inside - take a copy and rename It to.zip These damaged errors seem to occur when the archive cannot be expanded, so a lack of space in your temp directory can also cause this. You can log the process by placing a file called .airappinstall.log in your home directory, by the way - the install process will be logged to that, so it may give you a litte more info as to the cause. -Original Message- From: flexcod...@yahoogro mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogro mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ups.com] On Behalf Of James Sent: 12 February 2010 15:48 To: flexcod...@yahoogro mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Air File Is Damaged Error I don't think so. In a project I made a while ago I have an app called coolvisi1. A few months back I created an air file from this very app called coolvisi1.air and I've tested it just now and it works perfectly. The app in question hasn't even been touched since back then. I've just tried to create another air file from it called coolvisi2.air and I got the error. However I've made another app the other day and tried to make an air file from that and it worked upon installation. This makes me think it's something to do with the code inside the app but how would I be able to find out what is causing this? Is there any way of looking at the contents of an air file to see exactly what is damaged and compare it to the contents of the one that works or something along those lines? Totally crazy problem and I've had a few of them this week :-( --- In flexcod...@yahoogro mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , seanmcmonahan sean@ wrote: Have you recently changed sign certificates?
