Install Flash Builder 4.5.x Upgrade without Flex Builder 3.x installed?

Edit: Is the lack of replies because no one knows the answer or because this was a ridiculously dumb question?
Also, if I must have a prior version physically installed to do the upgrade, can I install Flex Builder 3 on a temp Windows machine, upgrade that to Flash Builder 4.5.x and then transfer the license to the MacBook? Seems like a very convoluted way of doing things but if that's the only way then I suppose I can go scrounge up a spare computer to do so. End Edit
Hi,
I just got a brand new MacBook Air which has Lion on it.
I have an unused boxed copy of Flex Builder 3.0 standard edition.
I tried to install 3.0 and of course I got an error along the lines of not compatible.
What I would like to do is upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
So the question is,
Can I buy the upgrade edition of Flash Builder 4.5 standard for Mac, then install that on my MacBook even if I don't have 3.0 installed to upgrade from?
Is it as simple of just supplying the seriel number from 3.0 when upgrading?
Thanks.

Changed the title to better reflect the situation.
Also added a blurb to the top.

Well, thought I should update just in case someone else has a similar thought.
I ran out of time to wait and it seemed I wasn't going to get a response so took the chance and bought the upgrade.
The install couldn't find any prior versions so just asked for the serial for Flex Builder 3.0.
After entering that in, it thankfully installed just fine.
Would have totally sucked if it didn't work and was forced to then buy the full version.
Anyhow, relieved it worked.
Regards.

  • Upgrade from Flex Builder 3 Professional to Flash Builder 4 Standard?

    Hi,
    I currently own a license to Flex Builder 3 Professional, and I would like to upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Standard. I do not need the extra features included in Flash Builder 4 Premium, and it costs three times as much as the Standard upgrade.
    However, none of the upgrade pages say if my particular upgrade path is possible or not. I talked to a sales rep on the phone, and he thought it would be fine, but didn't know for sure. Can anyone give me the official word if it is possible to upgrade from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard?

    Hi,
    I don't think that "downgrades" from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard are officially supported. You might be able to negotiate with a Sales Rep to make an exception for you though, for a discounted price on a non-upgrade version of FB4 Standard.
    Alternatively, if you have any interest in CS5 Web Premium (or have any Adobe products qualifying for a CS5 upgrade), FB4 Standard is included with that Suite now.

  • Upgrade from Flex Builder 3.1 to Flash Builder 4.5

    I have several project in Flex Builder 3.1 now.
    What is the best way to move them in Flash Builder 4.5? Can I just use the workspace from Flex Builder 3.1 in Flash Builder 4.5?
    Is Flex 4.5 backward compatible at API level?

    You should always have separate workspaces for separate versions of Flash Builder.
    Flex 3 and Flex 4 have some large differences.  You will probably want to spend some time reading about migrating by searching on Google.  Here is a good place to start: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex3and4_differences.html

  • Flash builder 4 installation somehow broke my flex builder 3 debuggin/running/profiling launch.

    After installing flash builder 4 neither it nor flex builder 3 has been able to launch swf:s from flex. After hitting run or debug flex gives a prompt saying "Flash Player not Found. Flex builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player. You might need to install Flash Player 9 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?". The popup itself happened before installing flash builder 4. But normally I would just hit yes and it would use whatever flashplayer is default.
    Now if I click yes it launches command prompt with a path to flex builder 3 installation folder. When running from flash builder 4, same happens except the path is the installation folder for flash builder 4. Flex then starts waiting for connection from debugger and after a while it prompts a timeout message. The command prompts title is ...\workspace\project\bin-debug\filename.swf.
    When opening the swf files directly from windows they open fine.
    I used the uninstaller software for flash player and then fetched both fp9&10 and reinstalled them. Which didn't help. When launching to browser everything works just fine, the problem occurs only when launching to standalone player. I tried to check registry settings if there would be something wrong, but all the paths for flashplayers seem to be ok.
    Is there any other hope to fix this than reinstalling flex builder 3 & flash builder 4 from scratch?

    Hello,
    You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

  • Trying to install Flash 11.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Install completes but Flash does not work - any help?

    Hi, I was told I didn't have Flash 7 when trying to see something online (which I am sure was incorrent to begin with) so I followed the provided link to download Flash version 11.5. The download completed without problems but Flash doesn't seem to work at all. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted. I don't know what to try next, any help would be much appreciated!

    Start here;

    Also, never, never follow links for flash, codecs or plug-ins of any kind from websites that throw up these warnings - there's a high chance of the link being to a malware site.
    Always go directly to the vendor.

  • I'm running Flash 10.2 on an HP Mini 311-1000NR, but Hulu stutters on 480P. Tried taking off Hardware Acceleration and it doesn't run smoother. Do I need to re-install Flash 10.1 beta? And how do I do re-install an older version of Flash?

    Running Windows XP, upgraded ION LE drivers to the latest drivers.

    Replace the memory in the DIMM 3 slot.
    If you are running Mac OS X 10.5 you can use this program to test your G5's memory:

  • Flex Builder 2 Upgrade problem

    Hi,
    I've got Flex Builder 2 (no charting included) and want to upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Premium.
    The problem i've met is there is no one step upgrade :/ Seller told me that i must upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Standard
    and then upgrade to Premium. But if i had FB 3 Standard i would upgrade in one step to FB 4 Premium.
    For me it's a little non-sense. FB 2 was much more expensive than FB 3 standard and now the price to upgrade is
    almost the same as brand new FB 4 Premium ;/
    Can I buy only one upgrade from previous FB X Standard ?
    Please give me a reliable answer.

    Pshemol

    Hi Pshemol,
    The advice you were given was correct - you can upgrade from Flex Builder 2 (without charting) to Flash Builder 4 Standard edition for $99. If you want Flash Builder 4 Premium then you'll need to upgrade as described previously and then purchase a Standard to Premium upgrade for $499.
    Thanks,

    1) had Flash Player 9 installed from the installer from my

    won't install, get msg failed to install and refers me to TN_19116.
    4) of course I had to de-install version 9 to install 10 and now if
    I try to reinstall 9 it tells me there's a later version and won't
    install it 5) I also now constantly get active x failed to install
    msgs popping up on numerous websites and they keep popping even

    windows as a tool to fix the registry.and that seems to be my
    problem given I can't install from the installer on my desktop. I
    downloaded subinacl and and installed it however when I try to run

    Hi HJMann42.
    Seems to me that the download is being blocked by a firewall or something.
    Try installing using this archived zip file.
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.8.800.94_archive.z ip
    1. Extract the zip
    2. Navigate into 11_8_r800_94
    3. Run the uninstaller - "uninstall_flashplayer11_8r800_94_mac.dmg"
    4. Run the installer - "flashplayer11_8r800_94_mac.dmg"
    Hope that helps!
