So far ive been installing a couple of modules and everything have run fine.
Now all of a sudden when i try and validate a module definition, i get a msg saying that the fileformat is invalid.

First i wanted to add the chat module i downloaded "Chat_01.00.01_Install.zip" and logged in to my site as "Host", then i activated "Edit" mode and clicked "Install new module" in the control panel at the top of the page.

The module definition page comes up and at they bottom of it i click" Browse" and choose the zip file, then i click "Validate".
Then the page updates and the msg telling me the file isnt valid as an external module definition presents itself. :-S

I thought it might be that particular module, so i tried the "Links" module as i had it installed in an older version already, so i went this here website, downloaded the "Links_04.00.00_Install.zip" and tried to validate that one, but it also failed!

So far i have no idea whats wrong, i even tried to uninstall the existing links module, but that only made my links disappear and now i cant even get the module back!

In Host : Module Definition page, please use "Install new Module" from the action menu and browse for the downloaded module package on your local machine.
