SWZ file expired yesterday

[baad01]

We are still using an old AIR application that was built with JDK 4.5.1.21328.
Today, we discovered that the signatures for the SWZ files are valid only until May 29, 2026 and the app does not start anymore.
Is there a simple way to resolve this issue (specifically, to replace the signature)?

Do you know how your application was built, in terms of where it looks for the SWZ files? We've had a few different variants of this issue with other Flex versions .. sometimes it's a case of just deleting the cached files and they will automatically then get re-downloaded from Adobe's website (where they had updated the files with new signatures/certificates).

Some people have the .swz files deployed along with the application itself which means I suspect you'd need to manually get them from the Adobe website and replace them in your application package. Or we've had folk (more on the Flash Player side) where the files were deployed on their internal webserver along with the .swf file for the app, so it might have been configured to look in another specific place...

You may be able to check the download location by inspecting the application SWF file, probably the paths will be embedded in the string table somewhere. But my first suggestion would be to clear the cache...

I /think/ the files are stored centrally e.g.
c:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\
but they may be under the application data folder such as
c:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\AppName\AssetCache\

thanks

We deliver the SWZ via the web application, from where they are loaded by the client.

I found the newly signed SWZ at http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/flex/4.5.1.21328/framework_4.5.1.21328.swz

Thank you
