This requires a change to both the SDK (release build script) as well as the Installer. It would be better if we make a clean break from the past. So, this means that if someone wants to download Flex SDK verion equal to or lower 4.13, they need to use Installer 3.1 or lower. For Flex 4.14 and higher, they need Installer 3.2. We have done the same exact thing in the past when we made TLF part of the SDK and no one really complained about it. > > I¹m not sure OSMF is the main culprit for failed downloads.
