Hi,

Sounds fine to me.

Here's the bit you need (or just grab it form my github):

	<target name=3D"packagenative" depends=3D"compile, certificate, =
packageair" unless=3D"unsupportedOS"
		description=3D"Packages the AIR file from the build =
directory to create a native installer (exe/dmg) file">
		<java jar=3D"${ADT}" fork=3D"true"
			failonerror=3D"true"
			maxmemory=3D"512m">
			<arg value=3D"-package"/>
			<arg value=3D"-target"/>
			<arg value=3D"native"/>			=09
			<arg =
value=3D"${RELEASE_DIR}/${APP_NAME}.${extension}"/>
			<arg value=3D"${BUILD_DIR}/${APP_NAME}.air"/>
		</java>
	</target>

You might want to try it on windows and if that works then there's no =
need for OS dependant targets. I assume you are using AIR 3.2?

> You sound like my product manager ;-)=20
Unlike your PM feel free to ignore any suggestions I make :-)

Make sure the "step" indicators are reset (probably best if browse or =
install is selected) - right now I'm not sure  if this happens.

>> 9. Nice if the install log window was centred horizontally when it =
pops up.
> To the main window?  Or to the desktop?
I was thinking of the main window but either would work I think.

> I was planning to add a "Copy log" button
That works fine as well.

Thanks,
Justin
