I'm at my wits end with this.

After creating a container or a skin I go through the process to upload to DNN 4.0.3.7 as a zip file (Using XP's own zip utility) and a good portion of the time the zip file does not get processed. It will just send me back from wence I came (Usually back to either the Skins or Container selection) without even a whimper of an error.

How can I beat DNN in to submission, or retrain myself to get it to do what it is suppose to do?

The container is 4k.

The skinpack is 151k.

I really couldn't say if there was wrong with the upgrade, as I inherited the installation from a previous administrator. At one point I think I even tried copying a DNN skin and uploading it and it didn't parse it. I'm wondering though if it is a stupid browser cache issue where IE sees that a URL is the same and just provides the cached page (thus sending me off to unexpected results). But then I cleared cache, deleted files, restarted browser and the same thing happened. It seems to be hit and miss.

Would it be possible to just manually upload the files and pray that some built in mechanism says oooh, look there's a new directory under containers/skins let's show it to the user and then allow the user to parse out so I can make a new ascx (or what ever the extions is) file.

I'll give the FTP and other options a shot.

Don't see how the files can be improperly formatted. I've even gone as far as to have it work then apply it again without change and still do nothing. I have noticed though, sometimes I can turn off the web services and restart them and have it work.

Not sure what the InstallResources is suppose to do but I went to it and just three lines popped out. But I'll be sure to keep this in mind for the future.

By chance does IIS itself have some sort of built-in caching mechanism?

Thanks for  your assistance by the way.
