Hi I thought I=E2=80=99d try and quickly install the 4.8 sdk with =
flashbuilder and I=E2=80=99ve run into a few issues.
Chances are high I=E2=80=99m doing something silly in which case at =
least it might highlight that a few more instructions are needed.

Here is what I did -
  a.. went to http://incubator.apache.org/flex/  and went to the =
download SDK area=20
  b.. Downloaded the binaries for windows=20
  c.. extracted and placed them into a folder inside the sdk=E2=80=99s =
for flashbuilder.=20
  d.. added the sdk to the list of flashbuilder sdk=E2=80=99s & updated =
the application namespace to be 3.4 inside my AIR app xml file (I =
thought I=E2=80=99d test out AIR 3.4 at the same time)=20
This resulted in errors which seem to relate to paths.
Initially it came up with something like - unable to open 'C:\Program =
Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.8.0 - =
Copy\frameworks\{airHome}\airglobal.swc'

So I had a look at the readme which stated that I needed to add various =
environment vars etc. So I did (AIR_HOME, PIXELBENDER_HOME, =
PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME, FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER & PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME, JAVA_HOME, =
ANT_HOME).
I didn=E2=80=99t think this would do as the path issue was inside of =
Flashbuilder (and it didn=E2=80=99t) so I also updated the =
env-template.properties.

This then changed the errors to something like this -=20
unable to open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder =
4.6\sdks\4.8.0 - =
Copy\frameworks\C:\AIR_3.1_SDK\frameworks\libs\air\airglobal.swc'

So as you can see its replaced the {airHome} with the correct path, but =
its appended it to the SDK folder.

So what am I doing wrong, do I need get the code and compile it to get a =
SDK?
The docs say its compatible with SDK 4.6.0 so I thought maybe I should =
merge the 4.8 SDK folder into the 4.6 SDK (in the same way when you =
update a new AIR SDK into an existing Flex SDK folder), but that =
didn=E2=80=99t work either.
Maybe my issue is the AIR 3.4 SDK but I don=E2=80=99t think so, it seems =
like a simple path issue, but I=E2=80=99m not sure what.

Thanks.
