Question

I'm compile a .air file of my AIR application in FB4 and i'm getting that error when I try to install. I tried creating a new app, and just copying the code over and I get the same error. What am I doing wrong? I've even recreated the certificate multiple times.

Solution 1

I was faced with the same problem..

Check out this post: http://wiki.showitfast.com/Misconfigured_Application

For me it did the trick - installed and ran the application without any problems.

Good luck!

Solution 2

I experienced this same problem and persued the above fix only I did not have "showit" on my machine. I did notice that since I had originally compiled my AIR app and had it on my desktop, my app was listed in the add/remove programs section. I removed from the list and "poof" my problem was solved.

I guess it's just because your certificate and the previous versions certificate didn't match. In theory, uninstalling it would do the trick, but on my mac it didn't.

You can just change the name of your application in your app.xml and export another release.

Adobe is little obsequious on these things!
