Hello everybody,

I've created a module and I've packaged it using this tutorial:

 http://adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/DNN_PackageModule/Default.htm

I've created a source package and an install package.

The source package works fine, I've tried to install the module and there is no problem.

But with the install package I've got a problem. The installation of the module is ok, but if I put a module instance in a page I've got an error message, which says that it can't find the View user control. So I've controlled in module definition, I've clicked on the pencil near the user control and I've seen that in the dropdownlistlist in which you can choose the source instead of DesktopModules/MyModule/ViewMyModule.ascx there is DesktopModules/MyModule/MyModule_01.00.00_Install/ViewMyModule.ascx. And for the other user controls is the same.

How can I solve the problem?

I've controlled my dnn file and it seems ok...

Any help will be appreciate.

Have a look in the MyModule.dnn file and make sure everything is included that should be. Also compare your dnn file with the source dnn file and see if there are major differences.

Here is my dnn file, perhaps it can help solve the problem:

Where .dll files are the dll I have obtained publishing the web site. (Visual Studio: Open -> Web Site -> DotNetNuke/Website. Then Build -> Publish Web Site. I have checked the firs two checkboxes, the site has been published. I have found all dll with "MyModule" in name, and I've copied them in the install folder. As the tutorial said.).

There is something wrong in my dnn file or in what I've done?
