Hi. For various reasons, Apache Flex provides packages that are different than what Adobe Flex provided. Adobe Flex could just be unzipped and pointed to from an IDE. With Apache Flex there is an additional step: the Adobe dependencies (playerglobal.swc and Adobe AIR SDK) have to be downloaded and installed separately. The Apache Flex Installer that is referenced in the blog post that Angelo links to is one way to make it easier to download and install those Adobe bits. Unfortunately, the installer is currently broken due to Apache re-organizing their URLs and the Installer using a downloader that can't handle the redirect.
The blog post also links to the source package which is the official release package because Apache recommends that users consume source packages and compile the packages themselves in order to validate that the resulting binaries are safe to use. But we also provide pre-compiled binary packages here [1]. However, they still need the Adobe bits to be downloaded and installed. With the Installer currently being broken, the alternative is to use Apache Ant to download and install the Adobe bits. The instructions are in the readme under " Using the Binary Distribution". While it is technically possible for someone to take an Apache Flex SDK with the Adobe bits installed and zip it up and share it so that it is packaged more like the Adobe Flex releases, that someone isn't supposed to do that according to the terms and conditions agreed to when installing the Adobe bits, unless they have an agreement with Adobe for redistribution of Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR SDKs. In summary, if you need to get Apache Flex 4.16.1 working before we fix the Installer, it is probably fastest to follow the instructions in [1] to get the Apache bits and add the Adobe bits via Ant. The AIR SDKs have significantly grown in size since the Adobe Flex days so the download is going to be really big, plus the combined bits might be Windows or Mac-specific. I wish it was easier, and sorry for the hassle, -Alex [1] http://flex.apache.org/download-binaries.html On 5/30/20, 7:18 PM, "Angelo Lazzari" <lazzari.ang...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi, did you try with this https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.apache.org%2Fflex%2Fentry%2Fapache-flex-4-16-1&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7C05b90ba9538d47c971be08d80508eccb%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C637264883176654525&sdata=%2F04tirkVaGMZRxkGhAAjCOo6FWoSul5jM%2BPgrbyVVn0%3D&reserved=0 ?
