    ApplicationUpdater UI auto update failing

    Damon Edwards Community Member

      This is a cross-post from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1312883 The gist is earlier today the ApplicationUpdater UI was failing to download an update that was posted. Just now the update started to successfully dowload (without any changes) but when you click 'Install Now' it closes the app but fails to install the update.  However, the failure to install was captured by the Console - the output is below

          I've also come across this — did you find any solution?

            We have been running into the same issue with our Application and appears to have started with AIR 3.9.

             

            We are seeing the same console output on our Mountain Lion machines:

             

            Oct 16 13:54:51: Application Installer begin with version 3.9.0.1030 on Mac OS 10.8.4 x86

            Oct 16 13:54:51: Application Installer end with exit code 2
            

             

            After testing a number of times I did see the update succeed using the same version of AIR:

            I don't really know why it was able to work this time it is the exact same app and running the same version of AIR. Since having this succeed once I have not been able to reproduce the update working, it only fails with the first console output.

             

            If I downgrade to an older version of AIR the update appears to work fine.

             

            I found a bug submission on this issue: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3648402 hopefully it is getting looked into.
