Regarding the “This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.” error message:

This message indicates a mismatch between your invocation of the Updater API and the AIR file you are providing to it. For example, you’ll get this error message if the version number passed to the API doesn’t match the version in the AIR file. You’ll also receive this message if the old and new versions do not have matching publisher IDs.

To get a better idea of what’s going on, enable installer logging. See http://blogs.adobe.com/simplicity/2007/10/air_installer_logging.html.

This is probably because you are crossing between different builds of AIR. I am not having this issue in my testing.

ResultEvent is in the mx.rpc.events package and therefore the UpdateManager will not work for Flash based AIR applications.
