Updating both app and AIR

Question

Hi,
I'm using the air update framework to update my app.  However, I'd also like AIR to update itself at the same time, so my app can use new API additions, such as
System.disposeXML();
I thought the only thing I'd have to do is change the namespace, as in<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.2">
I've made this change, published the new AIR file using the new sdk, and updated my update.xml file so an update would occur.  But when the app attempts to update, I get the following window reporting an error:
My app.xml file looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.2">
  <id>my id</id>
  <version>1.1</version>
  <filename>my filename</filename>
  <description>my desc</description>
  <name>my name</name>
  <copyright>my copyright</copyright>
  <initialWindow>
    <content>main.swf</content>
    <systemChrome>standard</systemChrome>
    <transparent>false</transparent>
    <visible>true</visible>
    <maximizable>false</maximizable>
    <minimizable>true</minimizable>
    <resizable>false</resizable>
  </initialWindow>
  <icon>
    <image128x128>icons/AIRApp_128.png</image128x128>
    <image48x48>icons/AIRApp_48.png</image48x48>
    <image32x32>icons/AIRApp_32.png</image32x32>
    <image16x16>icons/AIRApp_16.png</image16x16>
  </icon>
</application>
Shouldn't AIR and the app update correctly?  Does anybody know why I'm getting such an error?

I've also created .airappinstall.log and received the following output after installation fail:

After seeing my id was different, I realized what was wrong.  Flash CS4 had recently crashed, and the location of my cert was reset.  Apparently, I selected the wrong one when publishing.  Again, thanks for your tip on the log files, as I wouldn't have been able to figure this out without them.
