I recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64 from Windows Vista x64 and I must say I’m loving it! However, much like Vista x64 before it Win7 x64 doesn’t play nice with Flex Builder. I still have issues with blank dialogs (for which I found a work around) but now I have an issue with adding build paths.

When this problem first reared it’s head I tried looking at the project meta files and was unable to get a fix. Since I also work on a MacBook Pro where everything works fine, I left it be until I saw this post on the actionscript.org forum. While posting a response detailing my experience with the bug it occurred to me that this all worked fine on Mac OS so I should probably have the proper build path entries in my project meta files on my Mac.

Sure enough the entries were there:

<compilerSourcePath>
      <compilerSourcePathEntry kind="1" linkType="1" path="properties"/>
      <compilerSourcePathEntry kind="1" linkType="1" path="locale/{locale}"/>
</compilerSourcePath>

At this point I’m not really sure what the kind and linkType properties are for other than the fact that 1 is the default for both of them. I’ll post back as I found out more. In the meantime this has allowed me to add build paths to my projects with Flex Builder 3 on Windows 7 x64.

UPDATE.

Seems turning off the Logitech software I use for my mouse and keyboard resolves this problem altogether.
