Hi!
 
I'm using VS2010 to create a new and simple DNN 6.0 module.I tried to install it by creating a zipped 'package' to install.

When I install, and try to use the new module, it throws and exception and tells me my ascx file is missing. I check, and sure enough, all of the ascx files are missing. How do I create the zip package to install the module so that DNN 6 actually finds the ascx file?

In the zip, I tried to :
1. have the ascx files in the root folder of the zip.
2.  have the ascx files in a Resouce dir
3. have the ascx files in a Resource.zip file in the install zip.


Any help appreciated.

It looks like you have a typo in you zip file name it should be resources.zip

When using a resources file you will need to structure your directories within the zip accordingly.

A good example to review would be the store module.

If you don’t use a resources zip you will need to add your files in the manifest like this

< component type="File">
< files>
< basePath>DesktopModules\MyModuleDirectory< /basePath>
< file>
< name>MyFile1.ascx< /name>
< /file>
< file>
< name>MyFile2.ascx< /name>
< /file>
< /files>
< /component>
