Hi,

Is there a way to place different files with same name in an install package of a single module for DNN 4.8.2?

I have following culture based structure in my module and want to install it in a similar way through install file.

For English
Module1/Help/English/help.htm
Module1/Help/English/Images/1.gif

For French
Module1/Help/French/help.htm
Module1/Help/French/Images/1.gif

The problem is that it's only creating one folder (French) and copying files in it. After a bit of debugging and hit and trial, I found that files actually being overwritten and may be that has to do with the installer file code and hashtable making keys on the basis of filename?

But anyways, I'm able to manage it by creating a single zip file for the Help folder (Help.zip) and adding the information in manifest (.dnn) file but then it needs to be manually unzipped after the module installation and that's what I want to avoid!

I need the solution for DNN 4.8.2 version although I already have checked in latest DNN 5.4 also and it does create the folder structure correctly by simply placing the complete folder inside the install zip file!

Lots of details but the basic query is mentioned in the First line. So please confirm if there's some way possible to achieve this in DNN 4.8.2 other than creating separate zip files?

Regards,
Isaac

Hi

I would put the help folder in a resources.zip and put that in the manifest as a resource file
