please make sure you haven't zipped up the directory as well, it's easy to accidentally zip up the folder and not realise - the installer unpacks the folder, and then can't find the files

Also, if there's a way to get the packaged file to me, I can try install it to see if it works for me.

Ah Cathal

That was the hint I needed. I was using IZARC and adding to the ModuleName.zip, not to Archive. This meant that all the files were in a folder named ModuleName nested inside the unzipped file. This was not a problem in 4.9 but obviously is in 5.0. Also I have placed the the dlls in a bin folder and the resx files in a app_localresources folder.

Now if we had a wiki I could record this for others.

Thank you and tb very much

Kind regards

Geoffrey

FYI I ran into to the same problem (Version string is too long or too short) and this post helped quite a bit.  In my case the 5.2.3 Create Package wizard added an extra/nonexistent file to the list for export into the package.  I simply removed the extra file and then the wizard ran correctly.

Before:
01.00.00.SqlDataProvider
HomeFeature.SqlDataProvider  <--- Removed this one 
Uninstall.SqlDataProvider
App_LocalResources\Settings.ascx.resx
App_LocalResources\ViewHomeFeature.ascx.resx
HomeFeature.dnn
web.config
Documentation\Documentation.css
Documentation\Documentation.html
Documentation\logo.gif
Settings.ascx
ViewHomeFeature.ascx

After:
01.00.00.SqlDataProvider
Uninstall.SqlDataProvider
App_LocalResources\Settings.ascx.resx
App_LocalResources\ViewHomeFeature.ascx.resx
HomeFeature.dnn
web.config
Documentation\Documentation.css
Documentation\Documentation.html
Documentation\logo.gif
Settings.ascx
ViewHomeFeature.ascx

-something clever or funny.

OK. Just gut checked my last post and DNN was correct in that the HomeFeature.SQLDataProvider file was in the file system.  It was a file created by the DNN Module VSTemplate.  The Create Package tool did make a mistake however in that it set the version tag of the that node to "HomeFeature" instead of "1.0.0.0".  After I changed the version I was able to leave the file in the package and everything was fine.

Old
<script type="Install">
<name>HomeFeature.SqlDataProvider</name>
<version>HomeFeature</version>
</script>

New
<script type="Install">
<name>HomeFeature.SqlDataProvider</name>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</script>
