I tested the RC4 today. Problem 1: Tried testing the Installer exe without changing any settings (dev builds or cache): Flex SDK 4.11.0/AIR 13.0Beta/FP 13.0. The installation failed on 3 different attempts at the same step every time - Download SWFObject.
It seems to download the file swfobject_2_2.zip from: http://swfobject.googlecode.com/files/ fine, but fails after the download. Here is the log: =========== Version 3.0.0 (windows) Using Locale:en_US Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.

Problem 2: On first load, the app gets positioned near the left edge of the screen, then a second later, it moves to center of the screen. It is quite jarring an experience.
