A critical error has occurred. Could not find file 'E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dnnStaging\Install\Temp\3bica5kx\Bill_WcsDreamy.dnn'. The file exists here:E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dnnStaging\Install\Temp\3bica5kx\Bill_WcsDreamy\Bill_WcsDreamy.dnn I used the Dreamy and skin tutorial for this package. The file permission are read,write, modify for the Network_Service on the Temp file. What did I miss? Just trying to lose my rookie status. Bill

If you copied correctly, those don't refer to the same path. The second one has a second Bill_wcsDreamy in it.

That is what I do not understand. The zip file has the dnn file in it but DotNetNuke is looking for it in the folder above the file that was created when it unzipped it. I have tried several combinations of copy the files into the folder and zipping it. Please look at the directory again and even take my attached file and try it out.
I have even created a zip file that would put the file into the folder the way dnn is looking for it but then I get another error.

Found the answer in the thread:

The correct combination that worked for me is to select all the files in the folder except for the .dnn file and zip it. Then drag the .dnn file into the zip folder. Now it will install.

Thanks,
Bill

Very good!

Generally, the skin and container file are placed in a zip file.  The name of the skin is the name of the zip file.

The zip file contains two zip files: skins.zip and containers.zip.

If you do that, and you also pay attention to the manifest files, you'll install things in the right place.
