Exercise 9 Creating New Flex Project

Question

Thanks to Ryan aka rsadwick, I was able to get LiveCycle and
the ODT zip file working properly (see his reply to "Problem with
one of the lessons"). Unfortunately when I try and create a new
Flex Project using LCDS I am unable to get past the second step in
the process. Going by the way it is explained in the exercise, with
the updated information, my root folder should point to the odt
dir, however; I have found that if you just got to that dir you
will get this error: Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must
contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
So I drilled into the odt dir to find those files and found
them in this sub dir: C:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\odt\WEB-INF\flex, and
I am still getting the same error message, even though both the
flex-config.xml and services-config.xml files are in this dir. I
have tried validating the connection with LCDS running and without
it running with no difference. I'm hoping that someone can help me
with this or if I have made some kind of mistake in the way I
installed the zip file. I am going to try and contact rasdwick and
see if he can help me solve this problem and get it posted for
those who read this in the future. I really wish Adobe would just
update their files to the current software versions and or
solutions.
