The installation URL link seems to be broken

Jun 3, 2009 11:31 AM

Hi,

 

I followed the installation instruction from the blueprint labs page and eclipse returned an error message stating that it was unable to find the download site. I then tried the url on the browser and it gave back the same error.

 

Is the site down or am I missing something?

 

Rui

    Hi Rui,

     

    I am not sure why you are having this problem. The download site is up. Please try again, and let us know if you are still having problems!

     

    Also, the current version of Blueprint is only available for the Mac. You will not be able to install Blueprint on any other OS.

     

    Thanks for your interest!

    This is what I'm getting back when I try to navigate to the url in the browser. I wasn't expecting a readable web page, but this didn't seem normal.

    Hi Rui,

     

    You cannot navigate to the download URL directly and install Blueprint from a broser. You have to use Flex Builder to install the plugin. When you provide Flex Builder with the download URL, it will look for a specific file (site.xml) that is hosted in that directory.

     

    When you put http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/blueprint/ in the url box of a browser it looks for a file named index.html, and such file does not exist.

    Mira,

     

    You're absolutely right. It must be something with my eclipse instalation

    that renders it incapable of reaching the update site. If I append site.xml

    in a browser windows it show the xml file, so the site is in fact live.

     

    Sorry for that. I think I'll wait for the news on Flash Builder support next

    week.

     

    Thanks,
