Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a .mxml AIR project which includes a data file larger than 350MB (I'm using a 380MB .flv file.
2. Compile the project
3. Package the project (I'm using adl.exe).

I've found this problem with all versions of FLEX SDK and also when using FLEX Builder.

Actual Results:
The packaging works ok.

The problem occurs when the user attempts to install.

Expected Results:
The .air app installs successfully.

Workaround (if any):
Package the product without the large files.
When the user installs the .air app, they need to copy into the installation directory the large files.
