Hello!

I have a problem with uninstaling or rather say reinstalling a skin extension.

I have succesfuly installed a new custom skin without any errors, but as an admin, not a host (I made a mistake). So it was avaliable at "Page skin" section under "Site".

Ok, I have uninstalled it and chosen "delete files".

The thing is, that when I try to install it again, I keep getting "This package is already installed" and when I click "Next", I just keep getting the same message (like in a loop).

If I check under extensions, the skin is not listed anymore. But it is still avaliable under "Page skin" section as described above.

What is wrong? With this problem i'm also unable to update my skin or even perhaps other extensions...

I'm using Comunity edition of DNN 5.1.4. I'm new to DNN.

Please help!

When you did the uninstall did you get any errors?  Are the files still there?

You could try removing the files if there are still there.

I did not get any errors, but some files were still there.

So, I have deleted the files and renamed zip file and tried again as a host. Eventually I have succeded. I think that this accurs if try to upload skin as an admin. When I work as a host (I mean install/update extension under host settings) it works without a problem.
