I started with a clean installation of DNN 6.1.0, ran the Event Module installation (5.2.0) and looked at the event log as you recommended. There is the following General Exception:-

There is a subsequent alert later on but I assume the above error is the problem. Do you have any suggestions as to a solution?

Hi Roger

Being new to DNN I have struggled and failed to install the Module from a download rather than using the built in installation wizard.

The problem seems to be an old problem, I came across the following thread when I was trying to work out how to manually install the beta version:-

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/forumid/199/postid/434892/scope/posts.aspx#434892

I will persevere in my attempts to install the beta, but given that the module seems to have a history with the problem, I not confident it will solve the problem even if I manage to do install it.

Kind regards

Hi Roger

Thanks for the reply.

The problem isn't with tidying up from the previous installation, its running the installation from the downloaded copy that has me stumpted:(. I am sure it is just a case on clicking the right button or executing the correct installation script, but as it is so simple there does not seem to be any documentation on it anywhere; everyone assumes you will be using the module deployment wizard.

Kind regards
