Cannot install Apache Flex SDK 4.11 - apache

I tried to install Apache Flex SDK 4.11 to my Flash builder 4.7. I downloaded the installer from http://flex.apache.org/installer.html and installed the installer.
Then, I run the installer, the first page let me choose Flex, AIR, and player version. On the next page, it ask me to select folder to install. I tried to select "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\sdks" or even any other folder, and it stuck there. I cannot click on "Next" button. When I mouse over the field, it says "Invalid Flex SDK directory selected".
How can I get Flex SDK to be installed? Is there any alternative or manual way to do it? What is the valid directory should I select?
Thank you.

The problem is that the directory you chose requires admin access. Either run the installer as administrator, or install to a different location, like C:\FlexSDKs or something.

The Installer expects an empty directory. So just create a dir for 4.11 and point to it in the Installer.

Cannot uninstall a plugin Eclipse Luna or reinstall it

Using the marketplace I installed a plugin (additional axis 2 tools) on a new Luna EE install.
I uninstalled it via the market place, and after a reboot it was still there. Tried this many times.
So I deleted the file manually from the plugins folder and the option was gone.
However, I want to reinstall it (I originally uninstalled it because the dialog kept containing the wrong information and stopping me from building aar file), but when I go to the marketplace it only gives me an option to 'uninstall'.
Ignoring how this is a bit crap, how do I remove this plugin so I can install it again?
I tried downloading the 1.6.2 jar direct from apache but it just gives me an error saying invalid jar repository.
(I know I can generate the service file/aar manually, but I want to do it this way).
thanks.
Go to Help, Instillation Details and try to remove it from installed software and then try to install it again.This works for me whenever I've to uninstall any software.

Salesforce Eclipse IDE not showing custom fields on object

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, and am now having issues with the Force.com IDE.
When I select Force.com->Add/remove metadata components, I'm not able to see any custom field child component in the Objects-Custom component. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the issue?
Maybe you should refresh metadata from server? For this just click "Refresh from Server" button in top right corner of the screen.
As of April 2015, I had the same problem and the issue was the current incompatibility of Java 8, Eclipse Kepler (or Juno) and the current Force.com IDE. I had to (1) uninstall Java 8 completely; (2) re-install Eclipse Kepler--basically unzip the *.gz to a new folder; (3) find an archive download for Java 7 and install it; and (4) re-install the Force.com IDE. This was the only series of steps that completely fixed the problem. All components of custom objects are now available to me in the components tree. My computer's OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

I want create a website for my app! I want if press install button (in my site) be installed .appx from "http://mahdisml.tk/first.appx"
How to install an .appx file from a site ? (not in WindowsStore)
You can install WinRT app with Powershell using this cmdlet
Add-AppxPackage C:\App1_1.0.0.0_AnyCPU_Test\App1_1.0.0.0_AnyCPU.appx
You can use only drive file path, network file path is not allowed in above cmdlet.
Unfortunately you can't open Powershell from browser, if you want to know the reason then here it is.
So conclusion is that it is not possible to install WinRT app in just a click of a button.
