Flash Builder for PHP install workaround
I have a quick project that might benefit from the workflow offered by Adobe Flash Builder for PHP so I thought I would download the trial and see what it is all about. The Zend framework combined with AMF looks interesting. Unfortunately there were some unexpected road blocks.
I believe FB-PHP is designed to install and run beside your existing Flash Builder install. At this time I’m still not sure. The installer refused to complete the process because of a “beta version” of Flash Builder already installed. I uninstalled Flash Builder and ran the installer again which completed the process successfully. When I ran FB-PHP it complained about a conflict with my current CS5 license and requested that I deactivate and enter a compatible license key.
I found out from Adobe that there is indeed a conflict with the CS5.5 licensing scheme which is a bug. Their instuctions are to (temporarily) deactivate CS5.5. Launch and activate FB-PHP with a S/N you can get from here: https://freeriatools.adobe.com/fbphptrial/ and then reactivate CS5.5. See this technote for more information.
