Installation error occurred when the air is built from another machine.

Question

The senerio is that .AIR SDK: 2.0I orginally built an AIR versioned 1.05 from a mac 10.0.6 with FlashBuilder 4.6 and now I used the same code based and same application.xml to build a newer version 1.06 from a windows 7 x64  FlashBuilder 4.5 then i got the following errorThe application could not be installed because an application with that name already exists at the selected installation location. Try installing to a different location.I have put publisherID into the descriptor xml.Could somebody please help

I found out the cause.What I do:Copy the Flex sdk from mac to pc directly.More info:The reason why i didnt do the above step at the begining because there are so many hidden files are generated by mac and which let the flashbuilder in PC keep prompting error.As a result, I manually deleted all the hidden files (more than 2k files) and build release with that sdk and finally the installation error not show.Also,I found that although both mac and pc are using Flex 4.1 sdk ,may be with different build number? The point is I will/may face the same problem if I decide to update the flex sdk from 4.1 to newers version. This is a very big problem because there are so many ppl installed the old version and they may have to manually uninstall and install again and I will receive so many phone calls for support but which is fine if they are all hot girls..
