I can't figure out the tooltip thing.  Could it be from an app underneath
the installer?

I can't reproduce getting stuck by unplugging during the download of the
SDK.  I've gotten it to partially download and then get stuck in the MD5
calculation on Windows 7 for VMWare.

Right now, my sense is that, when the network is good, the installer is
working fine.  I think we've made things sufficient when there's no
network at all at startup.  But I'm beginning to question the value of
spending more time on trying to make things better when you pull the plug
during the install.  Installer 2.7 and older have suffered from incomplete
AIR SDK downloads that get stuck in the cache and I don't think it has
been a detriment to the project.  I don't think these pull-the-plug
scenarios are going to be frequent enough, and they are getting harder to
reproduce.

Thoughts?
