VM 2.0.12b: Where are the modules?

[ERNIK]

I've been using VM 2.0.6 since May and I have done its many upgrades up until version 2.0.12b and always I have had about 6 VM2 modules in the module manager, one of them was the shopping cart module.  I decided this past weekend to do a second basic clean install with J2.5.7 and vm2.0.12b on my local wamp server and now all the VM2 modules are gone.  What happened to them?.   I mostly need the shopping cart module to show the minicart on a side module.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

Did you install com_virtuemart.2.0.12b_ext_aio.zip  immediately after com_virtuemart.2.0.12b.zip  - and was the aio install completed?

Hi Jenkinhill,  Thanks for your prompt reply.

Yes, but the AIO install keeps aborting. I just increased the memory limits on php.ini as I saw it on your message:
"My host has the default settings decsribed here:  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102045.msg339125#msg339125"

but still the AIO install crashes.  Here is the latest error dump:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in

A failed install is why you do not have modules.

localhost is extremely slow compared to a real linux server so you will need to considerably increase the php limits, including the timeout.

That is correct! Thank you very much.  And I also learned two things in the process of solving this problem:

1) php.ini is located in several places within the wamp\bin folder and the most important one (I believe) was the one located inside C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\bin because after I copied my edited php.ini file in there it worked.  But also:

2) If you first install VM2 from the regular standard .zip folder, and it crashes, install it using the com_virtuemart.2.0.12b.tar.gz file but do not try to install AIO from the com_virtuemart.2.0.12b_ext_aio.tar.gz because it won't install  (at least that is what happened to me).  AIO had to be installed for the regular com_virtuemart.2.0.12b_ext_aio.zip

Strange, but I finally have all 6 modules inside the component area.  Thanks again for your support Jenkinhill.

Kelvyn,
Turns out I wasn't installing properly. All In One is a bit misleading if you have to install the other one first!

Thats why there are specific instructions for beginners here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=100256.0

And the README-VIRTUEMART.txt file which is in every download package.
