Greetings my esteemed fellow DNN Enthusiasts,

I have created a fully functional DNN5.1.1 Module which I have tried to package to no avail.  The first Error I got on reaching the create package page of the wizard was '[L]Invalid Manifest Extension - the manfest extension must be ".dnn".'  So I added the dnn Extension to the Manifest File Name and tried clicking the next button to create the package only to be navigated to the module definitions page with a critical error :- 'Input string was not in a correct format.'   What Can I do to make the packaging work?

If the packaging was successful, where would the zip package be created?  It says somewhere at the end of the wizard that it will be created 'in the Host users Home Folder'.  Can someone kindly shed more light on where this might be?

Many thanks in advance :)
