Yes - the installation of the gaming SDK is horrible. Whoever the manager is in charge of this app should be fired.

Is this also a money grab to get you to purchase a license for 4-5 Adobe products?

I am VERY unhappy with the installation of this product.

P.S. - You can tell that Adobe support experts are cutting and pasting the same text when asked "How do you install it..."

Michahell, I totally agree. I've been using adobe product for 20 years...and using flash since before it was flash (future splash player). As a UX professional I can't help but laugh at the spiral of death Adobe has set up for the gaming SDK. It looks like this.

1) See SDK in creative cloud...become excited

2) Download...but have no idea how to start it (or that in reality you cannot)

3) Click "get started" link in SDK folder and go to the web page...read the big banner...click "get started"

4) End up on a page where you can download SDK among other things...Boom, you are back at the begining of the spiral.

If the user makes it past the banner and reads the "steps" below the banner they might get onto the right track. The only problem is the steps are HUGE. Step 1) Write code... Really...that's not very helpful for anyone just trying to get started. A user at this level needs very small and specific instructions...not a broad mandate like "write code".

Think about it for a minute...ask the question...how do you write an iphone game with adobe products...it's easy...step 1) write code.. step 2) publish...step 3) profit.

I am sorry, but how are people new to the Gaming SDK supposed to know where to find the SDK? I have not been able to find this information, only on this forum. Where should i have been able to read about the default download location? The creative cloud app is not informative at all, it just says "up to date" and has a tutorials link.

Can you please check if Gaming SDK is correctly installed? Like if there is any folder at location C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe Gaming SDK 1.2 ?

Hi,

Gaming SDK is a set of frameworks and tools required to build ActionScript games which run in Flash Player and AIR on Desktop and Mobile, it doesn't have it's own UI. Please check start menu if you're on Windows. For mac, please check Applications folder, you should see a folder called "Adobe Gaming SDK 1.2". You might want to go through the page http://www.adobe.com/devnet/games/getting-started-games.html to get started.
