[Solved] prob in admin->component after upgrade - VM doesn't appear

[prankster]

Hello
after the upgrade from 2.0.16 to 2.0.18 the menu item "virtuemart" disappeared from component menu, the item virtuemart-aio is still there.
I can reach the component  by clicking on a different component (example http://www.mysite/administrator/index.php?option=com_newsfeeds) and replacing "com_newsfeeds" with "com_virtuemart". Can you help me to fix this?
thx in advance and sorry for my bad english

thx JH
I apologize, i'd look better in the forum.

I solved using this simple "guide" written by pkornmeier

If the problem occurs do the following:

- go to the table "jos_extensions" (of course on j2.5.X jos is replaced by other)
- search the entry  with field "name" = virtuemart
- note the value of the field "extension_id"

- than go to the table "jos_menu" (of course on j2.5.X jos is replaced by other)
- search the entry  with field "title" = COM_VIRTUEMART
- change the field "component_id" to the value  of the field "extension_id" from table "jos_extensions"

Than reload the Joomla-adminsite and it should work.

(I don't know if this is a permanent fix or I've to do it again on a new upgrade)

I have the same problem. Tried to fix it with the small guide but cant find "title" = COM_VIRTUEMART in the _menu table. Any suggestions ?
