I am trying to move a custom module from one server to another. The export runs without error. When I import (via Install Extension Wizard) I point to the .zip file and then see the following message:

     If you have reached this page it is because the installer needs to gather some more information, before proceeding.

However, the Next button does nothing (it is not grayed out, by the way). There are no errors or other indications of any problems and there is no prompt for any further information on the screen.

So, I am completely blocked here. Any ideas on how I might resolve this? I am using DNN 6.0.1.

Thanks.

Mark

Please check if the module.zip file have a dnn file (Manifest file) included and check if all needed files included in the Manifest file.

Thank you for the response, Matthias. Yes, as far as I can tell the .zip file has everything it needs. The structure I see within the .zip file is.

     App_LocalResources

              view.asc.resx

     Documentation

            (three standard files here in here)

     _<modulename>.dnn

     View.ascx

     View.ascx.db

That all seems accurate to me, right?

Thanks again.

Mark

I am not sure at 100% about I always create my packages with VS and MS Build. For me it Looks as a not compiled module, and there have to add a Line into the web.config file then. This could be done with the Manifest file. A compiled module have also a dll file into the bin Folder of your DNN instance.

The error message told me that anything is missed on the Manifest file, so you should check the Content of the Manifest file.

 Thank you again, Matthias. The modules in question were developed by a consultant and I have previously imported them OK (on different machines). They are not compiled. At this point I am stuck on this and have no idea how to move these modules to my new machine. The message doesn't given any clue about what exactly it wants that is not provided.
