Manual Installation VM 2.9.9.2?

[ginageick]

Hi there,
My client's hosting setup does not allow for VM 2.9.9.2 to be installed through Extension Manager. Is there a way to manually install?

Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks, Gina G.

First don't install VM2.9.9.2 - this was a test/development version for VM3 which is now available from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files

I'm surprised that you cannot install the packages, they are below the 2Mb limit imposed by even the cheapest of hosts.  You can unpack the files packages localloy and upload by ftp then install from directory.  http://docs.joomla.org/Installing_an_extension     Upload & install the main component first, then follow it with the aio component.

why 2.9.9.2?

VM3 is on the server - http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/874/com_virtuemart.3.0.0_extract_first.zip

will be announced later today officially

What do u mean by

Sounds like a better host would solve the problem

but unzip .. then you have 2 packages
unzip separately
ftp 1st one (comp) to the temp folder  -
run the install from joomla-> Install from Directory

then repeat for the AOI

YES! Thank you... that worked. Apparently, I didn't know how to use the 'Install from directory' 
And, I agree on the web host not being the ideal... but this is a non-profit organization and the hosting IS cheap. So, I'll have to work with what I got.

Anywho.. THANK YOU!

but there's cheap and there is cheap - for example for a cheap US based host that simply works (never had a Joomla/VM problem with them) BlueHost's base package is good (I think $5 a month)
