Umbraco 7.6.5: Error install Formulate

[biapar]

I tried to install on Umbraco 7.6.5 but the system give the error:

Error loading package action 'Formulate.TransformXmlFile' for package Formulate
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Hosting\www.xcdfdfdf.xzs\App_Plugins\formulate\Transforms\dashboard.config.install.xdt'.

I will give it a try when I get home, but my guess is this is some sort of permission issue on your machine (i.e., I expect I will be unable to reproduce the issue). IIRC, the transforms haven't been significantly modified in a good while.

In the meantime, can you answer these questions:

• Which version of Formulate?
• Is this a new install of Formulate, or was Formulate already installed?
• Are you installing Formulate with NuGet, or with the download from the package page on our.umbraco.org?
• Are you installing it on your local computer, or via a website that is already on a web host (e.g., GoDaddy)?
• Have you tried this with a clean install of Umbraco 7.6.5?

[Nicholas-Westby]

Additional question:

• Assuming you are using Visual Studio, is your website setup as a "Website" or a "Web Application" (in the Visual Studio project type sense)?

[biapar]

Hi,

• v 1.3.5
• new install
• Installed with package file or by Umbrac backend
• Website
• I installed it on clean Umbraco with new default starter kit
• In this case I did'nt used Vs.

[Nicholas-Westby]

Wasn't able to look into this yet. Will try again tomorrow/this weekend.

[Nicholas-Westby]

I wasn't able to reproduce your error. I was able to install the latest Formulate (1.3.5) on the latest Umbraco (7.6.5) without issue:

My guess is this is a permission issue or something else peculiar about your setup. By chance, is your Umbraco install in a subfolder under your main domain rather than at the root of your domain?

[biapar]

Sigh. It's installed in the root.

[Nicholas-Westby]

Have you tried removing all remnants of the install (perhaps it got interrupted for some reason) and trying to install again?

[garyhammett]

Looks like you may need to give the IIS user permission to C:\windows\temp.

That fixed that install issue for me.

[Nicholas-Westby]

@garyhammett I've never had to do that, and I can't think of anything specific to Formulate that would use that folder (other than the Umbraco installer, though I believe that uses the ~/App_Data/TEMP folder). How'd you come to the conclusion that you should give IIS permission to that folder?

[garyhammett]

Hi @Nicholas-Westby,

For me this wasn't tied to your extention. I couldn't install any package. I ran it through IIS locally and the moment I added this permission it installed.

Like @biapar I checked logs and had the same issue. I'm using the latest version as of today. It was also a fresh laptop so didn't have some of these things applied to it yet.
