I uplaoded 2.0 and relized i needed the rc5 version so i went to the downloads page and "Not got RC5? This is for you" part i downloaded and upgraded, but now it has no skin im only seing html, as if the stylesheets have failed, is there anyway i can just downlaod a fresh copy of 2.0 rc5? and not just 2.0

why do you need RC5? 2.0 has security updates that RC5 does not have along with several bug fixes.

Part reason why i want a forums is so i can have a chat, i have seen another site that has the Ajax chat interrogation, when i tried it on 2.0 i get an error saying it is not compatible, the other site has RC5 and it works there.

then you need to use version emulation to install the mod, installing old versions of the forum software is a bad idea given we have version emulation.

Yes i seen that, i changed the 2.0 to 2.0 RC5 and nothing happened.

then you are to attempt to install the mod, just changing the number alone does nothing.

Ok i wiped all the files and re uploaded the 2.0, then i put the ajax chat folderinto the packages folder, on package manager it is listed under modification packages but there is not button to install it?

you need to use the advanced link to set the version emulation to what is needed for that mod and then install it.

Any version i put it to and install i get

QuoteError in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

That means that you will have to manually put in the code into the area that it failed to install. You will have to FTP into your server and go to the File and put the code into the area as instructed.
