Now i have new problem

My app will not install with a verified certificate. If i change the certificate to the self signed then it will install and run correctly

The error is "The installation of this application is damaged. Try reinstalling or contacting the publisher for assistance"

My log file shows "Got an unexpected fatal error while in stateInstalling: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Unhandled exception Error: Directory can't be written to" errorID=5006]"

Its a normal install to the Program Files directory

Edit: Further investigation shows that the same error will occur for the app published with an unverified certificate which works fine so this error is probably not relevant

The only difference in the log between an app installation which works and one that doesn't is the presence of a pubID in the file name of the verified app. I think the installation is successful but the app will not work when published.

Found it!

I had

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.1">

I needed

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.3">

this seems a bit of a flaky. must be a better way of organising things
