Thank you for the post!
I have a great problem with the updater: my application opens the updater pop-up but it crashes immediatly. The application works correctly but the update wasn’t installed.
I’m using Flex 3.0.2.214193 and Adobe Air 3.0.4080.

Hmmm… interesting I also noted this…
var updater = new air.Updater();
var airFile = air.File.applicationStore.resolvePath(“Example Application.air”);
var version = “2.01″;
updater.update(airFile, version);
unfortunately everybody now needs a method for Mobile AIR apps and iPhone exported IPAs, etc.
Link to the store? or 50 of them or your site or what exactly is best practice now.
None of these solutions seem available anymore. AIR 2.5? or CS Flash Builder 4.5 burrito? aka Flex 4.5.1 SDK?

Just Got The Solution for Error 16811 & 16816

Note Following things to avoide update error
No 1.>
You xml schema for update descriptor.xml in server should look similar to this

2.0
http://localhost/SerialHunter/SerialHunter.air

Note xmlns=”http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5″
and versionNumber instead of version

Also make similar changes in appxml version field (in Burrito its by default versionNumber )

No 2>
if u are using code to display veesion number make sure it should look like:

var appXML:XML = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationDescriptor;
var ns:Namespace = appXML.namespace();

pnlMain.title=appXML.ns::name+” v “+appXML.ns::versionNumber

Thats it…!

Hi,

First, thank you very much for your time. In my case, this code works fine for my flash application, except for one thing:

When I click the mouse anywhere out of the stage, the animation almost freezes. It seems as if the framerate would descend to 0.01 FPS, something like that.

Any idea?

Thanks!

In the code posted, the memory will never be released. Just keep in mind always to remove event listeners and dispose objects.

AutoUpdate.as
appUpdater.updateURL = "file://C/Users/Eric/Documents/My Projects/ProjectName/air/update.xml";

update.xml
file://C/Users/Eric/Documents/My Projects/ProjectName/air/Project.air

This is the error I recieved:
“There was an error checking for updates. Error# 16822″

Hey Eric. It has to be a URL but you could probably use file://L/directory/directory – let me know if this works. I’ve not tried it. Thanks!

Can i use auto update over a network without an http address (ie: L:directory/directory)?
The app I am building is just for fellow employees. I would like to put the it on a network drive and have it update from there. We do not have a website server on which to store it.
I was trying to test it on my local C drive in a different directory, but it didn’t seem to work.

Thank you for your work on this. It has been very useful. I have a few questions regarding auto update:
1. How to you listen for Download Later Button clicked?
2. How to you listen for Cancel Button clicked during download?
3. How to you listen for Close Button clicked after Download failed?
4. How to you listen for Postpone Until Restart button clicked?

Download Later or Cancel during Download, or Download failed close buton
