Any ideas where to dig from when every extension install is ending to this:

UPLOAD EXTENSION PACKAGE

An unknown error has occured. Please check your installation zip file and try again. 
Common issues with bad installation files:

  • Zip file size is too large, check your IIS settings for max upload file size.
  • Missing resources in the zip file.
  • Invalid files in the package.
  • File extension is not .zip.
  • Check that you are logged in.

 

 

 

 

 




 There is absolutely nothing in the error log. Another site ( same version ) at the same server installs just fine.
What I can imagine, there must be some differential in web.config, but what to look for? 

This same error occurs what ever I try to install.

Jarmo,

When you say there is nothing in the error log... are you referring to the event viewer? Exactly which error log are you referring to?

The reason I ask is because there are also logs that get stored in the PORTALS > DEFAULT > LOGS folder that can provide insight during installs/upgrades as well. Just wanting to ensure that you are looking at those if you are not currently.

Thanks for the tip. There surely are LOT of logs there....   I just might be too dummy to understand these:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.

To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

-------------------------------------------------

There are several of identical messages like this after I tried to install with different modules.

Can someone shed a little light to what's going on here?   ;)

there seem to be a file missing (Dnn.PersonaBar.SiteImportExport)
Did you unblock the downloaded upgrade package file (in file properties), prior to unzipping the files contained and copy them over all the existing files in your IIS website folder.

Hi,

Did you find a fix for this? Dnn creative assure me it is an issue with dnn and not their skin manifest. They tried installing a basic extension with no depenendencies but that failed too.
V 9.1.1
