I have created my first module and tested the Dnn file with the portal and it appears fine. When I try to load the module from the dnn file if errors, with the following

Error Installing Selected Module Manifest File

 

Here is the file contents

A couple of concerns:

1. The <foldername> node has been given a value of Soltech.Rotator while the <src> node of each <control> includes the path DesktopModules/Rotator. What is the actual folder name?

2. Although this should not be the cause of the install error, it will affect loading of the module - The default view control (ViewRotator.ascx) must have a blank ControlKey - remove the <key>View</key> node from this control.
