Re: Compiling Installer with AIR 2.6

If you use the AIR installer, it requires admin permissions to install to the Program Files directory. If you export to any of the other file types, it is a userland application that has no installer. In the case of the linux installer, we outputted the application and are using debian package ma

Justin, Most of those errors look like the debian packager was told to pick up your user-id file permissions (I bet, that if you look in /etc/passwd, your userid will be listed as user-id 1000). When this package is installed by another user, the "owner" will be the first user created on the syst

you shouldn't use an absolute path for common utilities like tar, unzip, etc. Depending on the distribution, they may be in /usr/bin/, /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, or /usr/contib/bin. You should be able to assume that they are in the path declaration. -Nick On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 11:25 PM, Justin
