Hi

Can anybody help me please. No matter what I do, I can't seem to install extensions in via the install/uninstall route. I continuously get:



* JInstaller::install: Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.
* Unable to detect manifest file

Be it for a component, template, plugin...you name it, it just won't let me install. I've checked that the files aren't double zipped and if they are extracted them, single zipped them and then tried again, no luck.

Stuck for what to do, any solutions anybody? Running 1.5.5

Thanks
