Sort of.  I'm not envisioning a shell based installer.  Just an AIR-based
installer like we have now, or else we assume you have Ant installed and
you download an archive, unpack it, and run "ant install" or something
like that.

In fact, I have most of it working in flex-asjs and flex-falcon already.
If you sync those repos and flex-utilities, you can try running "ant -f
installer.xml" and see if it works (it seems to be working on mac, need to
try Windows next, I don't have Linux).

You will need a local.properties or specify properties on the command line
for the following:
# Flash player version for which player global swc to use
flash.sdk.version=11.4

# AIR version number
air.sdk.version=3.4

# Default locale for the SDK
locale=en_US

xml.properties=/Users/aharui/git/flex/master/flex-utilities/installer/src/i
nstaller/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml




>I assume they'll be place holders for the install location or something
I'm not sure I understood this, but the idea is that wherever you unpack
the archive is the "install location".  It would be the folder you point
Flash Builder to as a new SDK or the folder you set FLEX_HOME to when
building apps from the command line.

Thanks,
