Hi All,
I recently Completed a silverlight application (Still on Silverlight 2) that is hosted in DNN 5.4.2. I created a Module package and Modified the dnn5 manifest to the following:
<dotnetnuke type="Package" version="5.0">
<packages><package name="LMS.Reservations" type="Module" version="0.0.0">
<friendlyName>LMS Reservations</friendlyName>
<description>This module manages LMS Reservations</description>

<name>SDASL.Reservations.xap</name>

</files>

</components>
</package>
</packages>
</dotnetnuke>
All the files in this manifest are packaged properly but the Xap file as defined in the highlighted section above is not added in the created package and no errors are thrown! Oddly, when I remove the
<path>..\..\ClientBin</path> tag from the Xap file, it is now added to the zip file as expected but that would mean that on installation on the target website, the .Xap file will not be installed in the right folder which should be the ClientBin folder that resides in the root of the website. Any suggestions anyone?
NB: Please note that I tried playing around with the
<path>..\..\ClientBin</path> tag including reversing the back slash to the forward slash and also removing both back slashes and the dots to just have the ClientBin in the path tag but the Xap file still does not get added to the Zip Package. It is only when I remove the entire
<path>..\..\ClientBin</path> tag that the Xap file gets added to the Zip Package. I await you suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex
