Mick Powell commented on FLEX-33539:
------------------------------------
I have attached a file (shown above). I was watching the memory as the
installer was running, as at one point I checked and it was at 318mb. At some
point the GC had kicked in and when I looked again it was 178mb, but once the
installer had almost finished downloading the AIR SDK it had gone up again to
230mb, and once it started processing the package it shot up to over 600mb -
but it was too quick for me to grab it.
As I an using a Virtual Box installation as stated, I have a gig of ram
allocated to it. When I raised this bug I was running the installer among other
applications, and running on fumes a little on my c partition (where memory is
swapped to) - so even though I pointed the installation and the SDK to a D
partition with plenty of disk space, I expect the bomb out was indeed due to
lack of disk space on the C partition when memory swapped to it.
However, the 600mbs that I saw used seems pretty excessive to me for a
downloader/unpacker - but even if it doesn't to you guys, I would at least
recommend adding a warning if sufficient disk space/free memory is not
available - or failing that, an idea of how much diskspace/ram is necessary for
a successful installation before a user proceeds with one.
Either way I'll close this now as I agree its arguably not a bug, and what I
suggest in this comment is an enhancement.

> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Installer
> Affects Versions: InstallApcheFlex 2.5
> Environment: Windows XP SP3 with Admin Rights (installed in
> VirtualBox on OSX ML)
> Reporter: Mick Powell
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: InstallApcheFlex 2.5

>
> After installing the Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK and then the AIR 3.4 SDK, the
> installation process aborted. In the log it said it couldn't delete temporary
> folders. Successive attempts always fail.
> NB - when I checked the temp folder in the SDK folder was still there - the
> AF SDK zip was there but not the AIR one... I downloaded the AIR sdk manually
> and after putting airglobal.swc in the right place managed to compile a
> windows desktop AIR app. Install Log is below. I marked this as minor as a
> colleague was able to install on a Windows 7 machine this morning without any
> issues. One thing I should also point out - just before the abort occurs I
> get a Windows Virtual Memory minimum is too low message. I have a gig of ram
> allocated to virtual box, and apart from Win Rar - the installer (and AIR)
> are the only applications running.
> Version 2.5.4 (windows)
> Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.
> Creating Apache Flex home
> Creating temporary directory
> Downloading Apache Flex SDK from:

> Verifying Apache Flex SDK MD5 Signature
> The Apache Flex SDK MD5 Signature of the downloaded files matches the
> reference. The file is valid.
