Hi,

I am working on deploying 12 modules to the same system.  Each module has the same landing control View.ascx.  Is there a way to have a nested structured within the zip file (and thus the manifest)?  Or is there a way to accomplish this without changing all of the file names?

Thanks,

Richard

Sebastian,

Thank you for your response.  I am not sure how to do that.  It is my understanding that all of the files have to be on the "root" of the zip file.  If you don't, then the Installer can't see the files.  For example, I tried putting the files in the following structure within the zip file.

Module_1
----View.ascx
----View.ascx.cs
Module_2
----View.ascx
----View.ascx.cs
 

Then in the DNN file I put the following:

        <component type="File">
          <files></files>
            <basepath>DesktopModules\Module_1</basepath>
              <file>
                <sourceFileName>/Moudle1/View.ascx</sourceFileName>
                <name>View.ascx</name>
            </file>
            <file>
                <sourceFileName>/Moudle1/View.ascx.cs</sourceFileName>
               </name>View.ascx.cs
            </file>          
        </component>

        <component type="File">
          <files></files>
            <basepath>DesktopModules\Module_2</basepath>
              <file>
                <sourceFileName>/Moudle1/View.ascx</sourceFileName>
                <name>View.ascx</name>
            </file>
            <file>
                <sourceFileName>/Moudle1/View.ascx.cs</sourceFileName>
               </name>View.ascx.cs
            </file>          
        </component>
 

When I tried to install the package, it gave me an error saying that it could'nt find the files.  If I have to put all of the files into one directory, how can I have multiple View.ascx files?

Thank you for your help,

Richard

I have figured it out. Instead of using the <sourcefilename> tag, just use the <path>tag.
