Problem with Air 3.1 sdk on mac

I tried to install the Air 3.1 sdk by overlaying it on a 4.5.1 sdk. When I try to run my iPad mobile application i get this error:

Process terminated unexpectedly.
invalid application descriptor: Unknown namespace: http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1
Launch command details:  "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/sdks/AIR3SDK/bin/adl" -runtime "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/sdks/AIR3SDK/runtimes/air/mac" -profile mobileDevice -screensize 768x1004:768x1024 -XscreenDPI 132 -XversionPlatform IOS "/Users/dries/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.1/MobileRadio/bin-debug/MobileRadio-app.xml" "/Users/dries/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.1/MobileRadio/bin-debug"

However, when I change the namespace from http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1 to http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.0, i get a compiler error:

DescriptionResourcePathLocationType
Namespace 3.0.0 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 3.1.0 required by Flex SDK.TestSDK-app.xml/TestSDK/srcUnknownAIR application.xml Problem

Did i forget something during installation?

I did the following:

- Copy the flex sdk 4.5.1 to a new folder

- expand the AIr 3.1 sdk in this folder

- added the 11.1 playerglobal.swc at /frameworks/libs/player/11.1/playerglobal.swc

- added a compiler argument in my project ''-swf-version=14"

- Changed the namespace from 2.6 to 3.1

Any help appreciated.. got stuck on this for multiple hours.

Just found the problem:

The used AdobeAirSDK.tbz2 file was not fully downloaded. By using an incomplete sdk file, not everything was installed as it should be. Re-downloaded the file and it's working now.
