problems getting started..

ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in the package.

Installation file not found:
/home/virtual/site430/fst/var/www/html/mambo/media/install_41e00eebce050/

Unzip it first....

Inside you will find several components and modules to install.

i did that, and thats the error im getting

[Orstio]

Which one are you trying to install?

[RGSMDNR]

i have tried MOS_SMF_BRIDGEv2.11stable

and com_smf_1-0.zip (which i found from a post by [unknown])

[Orstio]

MOS_SMF_BRIDGEv2.11stable

Like I said, unzip it first.  You have to install each file inside it separately.  You cannot install the entire thing at once.

Inside, you will find:

com_smf_rc2.zip

Install that.

com_smf_registration_mos4.5.1.zip

Install that.

MOS_SMF_Integrated Login.zip

Unzip it.  Upload MOS_SMF.php to your SMF Sources directory, and install mod_smf_loginv2.0.zip (as a module).

when i try and upload and install com_smf_rcs.zip i still get the same error...

i cant even get started really...

[Orstio]

You aren't unzipping com_smf_rc2.zip, are you?   That needs to be left as a zip.

Go to your Mambo admin panel.  Under Components>Install/Uninstall

Scroll to the bottom.  Click "Browse", find and select com_smf_rc2.zip from your hard drive.  Click Install.

pls check your PMs.

Thanks.  The problem appears to be Mambo-specific.  There is something wrong with your com_installer.  I tried to install a completely unrelated component (PollsXT), and it resulted in the same thing. 

You should report this at the Mambo forums, not here at the SMF forums.
