Howdy.

I eagerly installed the new build of iFrame so that I can have automatic height based on content.

I am running DNN 4.8, and was able to install other recently-updated modules with no problem.  Only the iFrame installation has given me difficulty.

When I go to install the updated module, everything appears to load correctly until the "StartJob Creating Files" section.  Here, I get the following:

EndJob Finished Sql execution

Any suggestions?  Is this enough information to help diagnose the problem?

By the way, I have already scoured the forums for similar problems.  There is an old documented issue with needing to remove a Microsoft reference from the <configuration> tag in web.config.  That is NOT the issue in this case.  My <configuration> tag is clean as a whistle.

I just installed the IFrame on dnn 4.8 without any issues. Both - source and install.

The error message indicates that you are having some issues in the Installer class. I would suggest trying to restart application and trying it again.

Jim, please check  your web.config, it should contain a lot of nodes, at least configuration/system.web/compilation must exist! Please compare to release.config for a working example.

I've had the same error on my install and it's taken ages to figure out, the dnn file for IFrame contains a tag [app_code] - this is the only recently released module (since dnn4.7) which has this tag, hence why its the only module which "seems" to be broken.

In my case it was a specific code in web.config - the resource installer trys to read from the /configuration/system.web/codeSubDirectories/ node - if it cant locate it then it fails and causes the above issue.

As I have extra apps in sub folders which aren't DNN related I had added the key: < location inheritInChildApplications="false" > which contains the system.web node and hides it from sub apps (we have a big site and this is essential).  This means the actual path is   /configuration/location/system.web/codeSubDirectories/

I temporarily commented out the location lines and IFrame installed successfully.

incedentaly - this location node also breaks and asp.ajax code in your portal (saying you need a scriptmanager before updatepanel)

Hope this helps,

Andy.

xpath is /configuration/system.web/compilation/codeSubDirectories/, and the installer assumes that /configuration/system.web/compilation already exists.
