Hi,

Really enjoying the DNNCreative videos.
Problem i have is that the first time I go to install a skin I get the following error:-

Installing Resources

Install Resources Status Report

00:00:00.328 - Installing Skin File C:\Websites\DNN451\Install\Skin\Vortex 1 Pane - Fixed Width.zip:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value

Source Error:

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:<BR><BR>1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:<BR><BR>  <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %><BR><BR>or:<BR><BR>2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:<BR><BR><configuration><BR>   <system.web><BR>       <compilation debug="true"/><BR>   system.web><BR>configuration><BR><BR>Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.<BR><BR>Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

Does this happen ONLY for the Vortex skin, or does it happen when you try to install any skin?

Hi Craig, Thanks for the prompt response. Sorry about the formatting of the question (another thing which I've learnt!). The vortex skinning example was the first I'd tried but I have since tried to install Lee Sykes's own Vortex Music example and I had the same problem, so I'm of the opinion that I have an issue with my installation. I am relatively new to DNN and have been getting confidence by working through Lee's example. Have had success in installing proprietary modules without difficulty. Would appreciate any help you can offer. Regards, Murray

Did you try this install by uploading the ZIP file into the install directory? I've never installed modules or skins this way. Instead, I use the functions available from the host menu tab. You might want to try installing that way and see what happens. To install a skin, select "skins" under the host tab. You can also do this under the admin tab, in which case the skin will be available only to that portal. Then, select the dropdown from the title, select "upload skin", navigate to the skin zip file on your computer, and click "save file." If you haven't done so, you might want to review: How to install a module to DotNetNuke How to Install a Skin and Container in DotNetNuke How to use Skins and Containers in DotNetNuke
