Description

When trying to install a version of Flex < 4.14.1 in the Apache Flex SDK Installer, the installer errors out trying to download swfobject and fails.

Abbreviated log
Version 3.1.0 (mac)
Using Locale: en_US
Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.
AIR version 16.0
....... bunch of stuff happens here
Downloading 2.2.zip from: https://github.com/swfobject/swfobject/archive
Validating download: /Users/quinn/developer/test/in/swfobject_2_2.zip
SWFObject download failed

It appears that the issue may be due to an md5 mismatch (if I am reading the install.xml file correctly ).

desired md5: 4723bc29f2a93e9ad9fbeeac6fe63b9e
new archive md5: 16521f1e86df0debc0d7f345e919f794
