All,
It may not be relevant, but found a code bug in the "install.class.php" file and added/corrected the code as follows:
Code:
function deldir( $dir ) {
$current_dir = opendir( $dir );
$old_umask = umask(0);
while ($entryname = readdir( $current_dir )) {
if ($entryname != '.' and $entryname != '..') {
if (is_dir( $dir . $entryname )) {
// echo "MsoPath => mosPathName( $dir . $entryname ) <br>";
deldir( mosPathName( $dir . $entryname ) );
} else {
// echo "Dir => $dir Path => $entryname <br>";
// Added by Nyle E. Davis on 07/05/08 to check for copied file
// and delete dir even if dir is blank.
if (file_exists($dir . $entryname)) {
@chmod($dir . $entryname, 0777);
unlink( $dir . $entryname );
} else {
echo "File => ". $dir . $entryname ." <= not found, but deleting
install directory anyway! <br>";
@chmod($dir, 0777);
rmdir( $dir );
}
} // end if-else
} // end if $entryname
} // end while
umask($old_umask);
closedir( $current_dir );
return rmdir( $dir );
}
To see what is happening, just uncomment the two echo lines. Code line numbers are 487-514. This patch should go into the base source code.
What happens before the patch is if the temp file is not correctly copied into the temp directory, then the "unlink" command, with file name, will not execute, as logic is false; so added the "file_exists" test and then the "rmdir" when the false scenario occurs.
Anyway that is not solving my problem and since I actually building a component and working from "localhost" all the other ISP related comment do not apply to may situation.
Would like some insite. Have the .xml install file built and in the .zip file, but could not find any reference in the joomla sites and/or HOWTO about a .xml "SETUP" file. Of course still reading all the stuff, but have not found it yet.
My echo statement in the above code, showed that all the files are copying and/or installing correctly, but this seems to be another .xml file that needs building so setup/config can occur.
Open to feedback and appreciative of all!!
Thanks!

Any help would be awesome. Thanx 
More bugs to squash!
