Is there a way to find out if a failure is from an IP address that later gets a success? Did any other errors go away? Maybe this is a manifestation of using a different http library. I swfdump-ed the SWF for the installer and did a case-sensitive search for the word “Error”. You are welcome to try it yourself, but I think I only found two places where the word “Error” could show up by itself: One is in mx.utils.Platform, but in the Android code path, and the other is in HTTPService but would require that there is no additional information with the error, or maybe the tracking URL doesn’t like line-feeds encoded in it? I only found one use of HTTPService and that is used to download OSMF. A third place is in the uncaught error handler, but it would require someone throwing an Error with the error string “Error” and the stack trace not being invisible and I didn’t see any use of “Error” like that, and I’m pretty sure I built the installer with AIR 4.0 which I think has stack traces all the time. Although if the runtime throws such an error with a not-useful message that could also get us in this situation. So it is a bit puzzling how we can be getting this sort of failure report. Folks, if you experience an installer failure, please post the log somewhere and send us a link. Thanks, -Alex
