Here is a follow up on the missing modules. 

I manually installed the missing components and found that when I tried to install more than one module at a time nothing installed.  So, I ended up installing each module one at a time.

I think there is a bug in the module that processes the zip files.   As long as one file is installed at a time everything works.

I tried installing it individually...Yes it said it had installed, but when i refreshed my browser & checked my module dropdown i couldn't find the module listed...??

Here are the steps that i did:

1.Zipped the Announcements Module

2. Placed it under Install\Module folder

3. Browsed the Url : http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2/Install/Install.aspx?mode=InstallResources

4. Got a msg saying the Announcement module is installed successfully

5. Logged in the portal as admin and went back to my home page & found that the Announcements is not Yet listed in the Module combo???

Did i made anything wrong??Do anyone have a soln for this?????? Thanks!

I had the same problem and then when I checked the install/modules directory on my hosting site somehow the upload had skipped over the transfer of all the module zip files.   You probably have no actual modules in the directory and thus running http://yourdomain.com/Install/Install.aspx?mode=InstallResources produces what may seem like to be a succesful module install to the uniniated like this...

A SUGGESTION TO THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSTALL PROCEDURE:

Please have the install messages say how many module files where found and how many where installed.  This would create less confusion.  Also it would be a great step forward for those new to DNN and pros alike if the DNN install process where to validate the required directories/file structure on the server BEFORE the install takes place to make sure all files and directories are in place and they are the correct size.  I am sure this would slow down the install procedure but a small price for ensuring that everyone is working without issues of missing files.

From my experience the install process "WORKS" with all sorts of files missing and leads to hours, days and weeks of furstration in finding what is missing.

Obviously the directory/files list would have to be easilly modifiable in a text document for the managment of custom installs.  Perhaps with file options of critical (0), warning (1) and non critical(2)

directory/files list file structure might be like this:

default.aspx, 2345789, 0
default.aspx.vb, 2345789, 0
directory1/file1.zip, 2345, 1, File need for blah blah reason. Install later using blah blah command.
directory1/file2.txt, 45789, 2

Regards, Rod.

Further to my previous comment...

It appears that when the install process first runs the install module zip files are subsequently removed (deleted) from the install/modules directory.  This may be so for other files too I guess.

Thus on subsequent installs as I have tried (ie after clearing the database by deleting and re-creating) the module install files are missing and maybe others too.

Thus the only real way to do a re-install is to first delete all directory and files the re-copy ALL the files back to the host before initating the install.

I wish this was mentioned somewhere in the install documentation (I guess a may have missed it).

Frustarted, Rod.
