I have a module which can be installed in DNN 5(5.6.X), everything OK on that version.
When I try to install the exactly same module onto DSS7(7.0.1), by the button "install extension wizard" on the "find more module" page.
After I choose the module then click next, I got a error:
A critical error has occurred.The ReadElementContentAsString method is not supported on node type Comment. Line 5, position 7.
Could you tell me the possible reason about it?
I would guess that you have an old .DNN manifest file, and maybe DNN7 doesn't like that. Can you post a copy of the .DNN file in your question?

Is it possible to "install" a module just by pasting the file of the module and just paste it into the DesktopModules folder and have the modules working on the website?
If not, is there a way where I can export the whole module from one system and install it onto another system?
Have you tried creating a module package for this module? (when you click the edit pen for the extension, you should find a "Create package" button on the top right).
Take care to include the assembly/assemblies needed, and also the Sql Server scripts to install the module correctly (often found in the module folder under Providers/DataProvider/SqlDataProvider/*.SqlDataProvider). There might be other files in the module folder (images, css, etc), be sure to include them in the package, then try to create it. You will find the ZIP file under /install/Modules then, move it away from there somewhere on your local file system (otherwise the installer might try to install it with the next update). Then try to update the extension in a testing system, check if it works and you're done. If there are errors it might be that you are missing some files that have to be included. Check the error messages, and restart.
There used to be a way using the /Install/Module/ folder (put ZIP file there, then call /install/install.aspx?mode=installresources) If you are on an old version of DNN (7 and earlier?) you can still use this. But you've got a load of security issues that should drive you to upgrade.
I don't know of a good way to do this now. For security purposes DNN removes the Install resources after an upgrade.
IF you already have the module installed in both locations, you could copy the resources for the file from server to server (DLL in the BIN folder and the contents of the desktopmodules folder) assuming you don't have any MANIFEST file changes that need registered.
So I tried to install a package called 'Image Processor' to our Umbraco build which I later found was incompatible. How do I manually remove this package from the build? I've tried removing all mention of 'ImageProcessor' from the Web.config, packages.config etc still no cigar.
This is the error we're getting.
Check in the /bin/ folder for the Image Processor DLL file. If this file is present, I believe that the application is trying to load it. However, this file requires something from Umbraco.Core which isn't there, so it crashes.
If you find the DLL, try deleting it and reloading the application.
Also, I assume you installed this package through Umbraco. In the future I would recommend using NuGet to install packages, as it allows you to add, update and remove packages without running the application (so if you were to get an error like this again, you would be able to easily uninstall the package).
I have already published dnn website. So Can I add my custom module in it?
I have purchased DNNGoxNews the module with source code from dnn store.
Now I want to modify some of the fields from some user control So How Can I achieve this.
I have already installed the module in my dnn website.But How can I modify the module.
Please point me the right direction.
Thank You
You will want to install this module in a development environment, which typically means a local copy of DNN
Follow this tutorial for how to setup your development environment.
Once that environment is setup, go to the HOST/EXTENSIONS page
Install the SOURCE package of the module you purchased
Open up the Project file, or Solution, in Visual Studio 2015
Make your changes, compile the module/changes
Repackage the module for deployment, if the source code doesn't do it for you automatically you can follow this tutorial.
After installing and enabling module adminstration menu with update manager, I have moved the installed module to the contrib directory of my project.
I have also cleared the cache in the administration/configuration/development/performance.
How can I make it visible?
The first thing I'd try is to move the module back to where ever it was originally installed and then enable it, disable it and uninstall it. Uninstalling will remove any references in the system table that might be confusing Drupal.
If you don't know where it was before you moved it, you can find that info in the system table.
Then move it to the new location and it should be visible and you can enable it from there.
If that doesn't work, you should be able to use the registry rebuild module to clear out any remnants the old version. Backup your database first.
Hi DotNetNuke experts :)
I want to make some changes in dnnfeedback source and I want to add module definition to site
in previous release of this module I used to go to "host-->extensions" and from action menu choose "create new module" and simply add the manifest and use it
But in latest module release the manifest extension was changed to .dnn6 and my DotNetNuke (version:6.1.3) doesn't show me anything to choose from.
I think this section of DotNetNuke Doesn't understand .dnn6 extension.
so how can I add definition of this module?
Thanks
if you wanna to change a source code just install the package and replace the DLL file with that one you've changed
You can simply use "Install Extension Wizard" instead of "Create new module" option and select the downloaded source package .zip of the Feedback module. It will install source files into DestkopModules/Feedback folder and you can make your changes there.
A little about .dnn6 manifest files can be found here.
