1.9.8c Live Update not working

[pepe2907]

Trying to update VM 1.9.8c to 1.9.8f on J1.7

It says: "        JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file

                    i: Invalid package type. The update can not proceed.     "

Hi,

If you are using virtuemart1.9.8.RC2F_extract_first.zip, you must first extract the files.

I am using the Live Update feature from inside the VM.
Obviously I've already installed it at least once, so I supposedly am well aware about the "extract_first" thing.
The file it tries to use is this one : http://virtuemart.net/releases/virtuemart/com_virtuemart.1.9.8F.zip

could be a problem with local live update.

You mean the Joomla update?
The Joomla update is working, or at least - worked, because I updated it from 1.6.x /before installing VM/.
I downloaded the zipped update on my computer, and I see there is a XML, which seems ok to me as much as I can read it, with the exception of the joomla version it's stated it's for, which is 1.5.
May it be the reason J1.7 refuses it?

NO i mean when you update from xampp etc.

I do remember trying to update akeebah via xampp local server, and it wouldnt update with live update

It's on a remote server on Linux.

you mean LOCAL right, YOUR PC?

I mean remote. Why? What's so strange?

No j1.7 takes also the j1.5 files. The installer is written for both. Hmmm maybe the problem is a completly different one. Maybe it is connected to the wwwrun/phpuser problem.

This works for me. I assume that you can download the file manually and install it over the prior version and it works. But then we cant find the error anymore lol. Hmmm

The update was successful through the Extension Manager.
Looks like it was a problem of the Live update feature, maybe in this version only.
