compare your manifest with the one of bundled modules - Reports and form and List use DNN5 manifest, all others still are packaged like in DNN3 or 4.

The manifest does not appear to be a valid on for installation into the DNN 5.x framework. For starters:

1. The manifest version attribute should be 5.0 not 4.0. NOTE: This assumes you are trying to create a manifest/package for install into DNN 5.x

2. There is no <component type="Module"> node with all of its child nodes that are essential for creating the sub-directory(s) under DesktopModules, registering the module definition and module controls, etc.

Please look carefully at the most recent Reports and form and List module manifests for examples of a properly structured version 5 manifest.

After getting your module to function properly in your development environment, have you tried automatically creating the module package - i.e. logging in as host user, navigating to Host-->Module Definitions, clicking on your module's edit pencil icon, then clicking Create Package?
