Invisible Virtuemart component in admin panel (Error building Admin Menus)

[PRO]

I have other extensions that have done this with J1.7. It seems to be 1.7

So... i found out how to delete the lines in the tables, but nothing changed. And than i accidentely deleted the whole extensions table (yeah... i know...!), so after that i decided to start all over again. I deleted/uninstalled all: Joomla, the Phoca template that i didn't like 100% and the Virtuemart install. I've got an other template now, a fresh clean Joomla 1.7 install and a german webshop component, and it all works fine.
Thanks again for the replies and the help!

install and a german webshop component, and it all works fine.
Thanks again for the replies and the help!

? btw virtuemart is german also (at least the founder and the leader), or what do you mean?

Sorry, I wasn't sure if you guys would appreciate if i said which one. Joomshopping from MaxxMarketing GmbH. Anyway, my problem is solved, i hope Felix's problem too, since he started the topic.

Besides I would like to point out that my first choice was Virtuemart, but since i don't really know coding, and php and sql and all that, and i couldn't get it installed properly without it, and since i didn't want to do the trial & error thing for days and days, i chose an other one. Maybe later, when i'm more experienced, i will return

It is afaik just a j1.7 error, when the installer indicates that it is written for j1.5 and is using the update method or when the component name is not using COM_VIRTUEMART.
The simpel solution would be to provide a pure j1.7 installer, when we do not find a workaround we have todo this for the final release.

Thank you guys for tried to help, but all suggestions not work 

Currently I working on other parts of my site, and hope that after some time this error will be solved, whether it is a bug in Joomla or VirtueMart.

Have a nice day!

Kind regards,
Felix

Good news, looks like I fixed it. But I need more test installations

[Clef]

Hate to say it, but just got the "Error when building menu" message on 2.0.0 Release with Joomla! 1.7.3, had ensured was set to MySQL as well 

Can load if I go to the page directly, but not in any menus...

Any ideas?

[Clef]

Very odd, it was a fresh install (I had only installed a template), but after uninstalling and reinstalling Joomla from scratch, THEN immediately loading virtuemart it worked fine...

Mark as fixed, but not sure why it didn't work the first time?

[PRO]

Clef, I had the same problem with J1.7 with many components

akeebah, and many more.
