Hi All.
I started today with my first module development steps.
For this i'm using VisualWebDeveloper 2008 Express, SQLExpress 2005, the DNN 5.1.4 Starterkit and the nice little tool DNNBuildA found on Codeplex.
This tool is creating all the basic codefiles, stored procedures and so on. After importing the dnn manifest the module is working pretty well in this Development-Site.
I went to Host - Module Definitions - Create Package and received a zip file what i imported (without any error) into my Testingsite running 5.1.4 on Vista.
The module does not work. After some investigation, i recognized, that all the files from the APPCode\MyModule Folder are not included in the zip, allthough they are referenced in the dnn-file.
Crosscheck:
i manually added the missing file to the zip, reinstalled on my test-platform and the module is working very well.
I went again to Create Package, now in the the test-platform, and created again a zip-file. Same behaviour: the files from AppCode-folder are missing, but referenced in the DNN-File.
It does not depend on whether i let create a new manifest or use the database-based manifest. The manifest is correct, but not all files are included.
My question is:
Should no files stay in this folder at all, or is there a bug in the Create Package function of 5.1.4?
