Ok! here it is:
May be I missed something, or maybe, there seems to be a problem with the modules from loose-screws.
Well when you download a module, let's say popup.dll from shellfront.org, the zip is named: popup2-2.1.5.zip. Thsame module from loose, will have the name: popup2-2[1].1.5.zip.
Till there it's ok.
In the OTS doc it's said that when you make a theme, you got to use "*netloadmodule module", where the "module" is the name of the archive without the ".zip". So to have the archive name of a modul, you have to manualy download it and take the name and use it in your NLM statement.
So for the example with the popup, from shellfront it woud be:
*netloadmodule popup2-2.1.5 (this works, the module is downloaded end used)
and for loose, it would be:
*netloadmodule popup2-2[1].1.5 (this do not work, the module is downloaded, but there is a message saying "they are downloaded but the zip file is invalid or corrupt" and when you ake off the [1], it works again)
So you may tell me not tu put the [1], but then the modules are downloaded from shellfront, and shellfront is not up to date as loose-screws. For example there is no popup2-2.1.6 on shellfront, and it seems that if I don't put the [1], the module can't be downloaded at all.
See the themes I posted, the problem is on them.
Oh one more thing, I don't have this problem on my instll, for I downloaded ALL the modules from both lists, and I store them in "ModulesDir\archive", so when I install a theme, he simply takes the modules from there, and the above problem is not happening!?
So I think that it's me ho don't get something, but what?
Best regards,
