Unfortunally it did'nt work for me. The update framework is one of most important thing to build and deliver an AIR app. Personally I can't understand, why Adobe does such a miserable job on it. Because it is not the first time that the applicationupdater_ui is broken, check <a href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-22886" rel="nofollow">SDK-22886</a> or just search for ApplicationUpdater or ApplicationUpdaterUI at the bug base: <a href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/" rel="nofollow">http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/</a> What is the end of the story? You have to build your own ApplicationUpdaterUI, as I did for Flex 4 some months ago: <a href="http://www.websector.de/blog/2009/09/09/custom-applicationupdaterui-for-using-air-updater-framework-in-flex-4/" rel="nofollow">Custom ApplicationUpdaterUI for using AIR Update Framework in Flex 4</a> However, that cant be the right way ;) -Jens At SDK-24766 you will find an instruction by Horia Olaru to rebuild a applicationupdater_ui.swc.

The proper alternative to this workaround would be to fix the error properly - but that would mean making the fix in the source and recompiling the SWC files for the ApplicationUpdaterUI classes. Haven't had time to try that one out, but it would be great if someone could. The disadvantage to this hack seems to be that the window always opens & then closes - doesn't stay there for very long, but the opening is discernable. I guess this is also to do with the way that the interface has changed between SDKs. Yep, not really a fantastic fix!
