Hi folks.  I have been fighting an up hill battle building a custom module in DNN 5 for the first time.  Finally have it up and running, but now I am trying to put the cherry on top by packaging it.

I am getting an error "Version string portion was too short or too long".  Does anyone have any experience getting past this error, and what causes this?

Thanks for any help

Chris.

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for your reply.  I found the problem causing the error, and it had to do with some buggy text in the manifest that gets created during the package creation.  In one of the Version nodes, the name of my module was present instead of a version number.  See the last Version node below.
