    Description

      With the release of Adobe AIR 31, the url for the playerglobal.swc for version 30 is no longer valid. 

      https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/30//playerglobal30_0.swc

      I would recommend linking to the archived versions (the archive links include a link to the latest version as well) as shown on this webpage:

      https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

      notice how all the following are formatted:

      https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/playerglobal/playerglobal31_0.swc

      https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/playerglobal/playerglobal30_0.swc

      https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/playerglobal/playerglobal29_0.swc

       

      Here is the log from the installer:

      out of curiosity:

      1) is there a way to override the install locations in the installer config file and substitute in the correct url?

      2) why not just use the version of playerglobal.swc included in the air sdk?
