My thinking is that we will have a different config for each FP/AIR combination we want to support. Just show a simple dropdown at the launch of the app (default to 11.4/3.4). Depending on what the user selects, we grab the corresponding config url. A pretty straightforward implementation. But this could wait until Installer 2.5 if we dont want to hold up Flex 4.9 release.
