pownce desktop 2.0 will not install.
I have adobe air 1.0 installed. i tried downloading pownce desktop 2.0 and my mac automatically unzips it into a folder instead of using air to install it. is there a workaround or am I just SOL. I also tried installing air 3 beta. Same results.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Installed. I just use mozilla firefox to download instead of safari. -
Inappropriate?While using Firefox download the file properly, I have to wonder what's changed between the previous version and this one so that using Safari no longer downloads the file properly. I downloaded the older versions through Safari and had no problems at all.
I’m inconvenienced.

Inappropriate?Maybe someone has thoughts on this, somehow the way I'm exporting the .air file, safari thinks it's a zip file. It must have something to do with the content type?
I’m frustrated

In the end, it's not that big of a deal. I think that maybe a note should be added to the download page that if you download the file with Safari, you should rename the pownce.zip as pownce.air (as noted below) and things will work fine.
The only big deal is that changing the extension isn't the first thing popping into the user's head. I downloaded the file, saw that it was useless to me (as a folder--after I unzipped it) and then went back to the download page looking for other information. A notice would go a long way to solving the problem--especially since it seems to be happening for so few users.

Inappropriate?We had one other user report something similar. They said that if you don't have your computer unzip the file and just rename it to Pownce.air, that it works properly. Seems like only a few people have had this experience, so I am curious as well as to what's causing this (e.g. if it's computer settings vs. Pownce side). -
Inappropriate?have the same problem - with air 1.0 and 1.1
i guess its safari like Jon Rohan mentioned before.
Changed the folder extension from pownce (folder) to pownce.air
Didnt work, though OSX did ask me if i wanted to change the extension.
even using adobe air application installer didnt work, doesnt recognise anything installeable in the folder that got downloaded from the site.
seems as if Safari extracts the air file, and not just the folder.
I’m disappointed

same. firefox works.

Inappropriate?Firefox does properly download and install the Pownce app. Safari as with all zip files, extracts the contents and tosses the original into the trash. grab the original out of the trash and remove the .zip portion. Then it should install no problem.
On a side note - I like version 1 much better - felt like Pownce, this new version looks like something MS threw away.
I’m indifferent
