hi maju here is my report
after uninstalling everything
i tried to reinstall but I kept getting the same error
i did some investigating and I found that upon the installation attempt all of the db entries were created, but none of the files would install.
So I unzipped the file and manually installed all files to match the backup server - and then I applied the patch you gave me earlier - now everything works great 8)
what i would like to do however is update via the back end updater, but when i tried to do this i got an error message that the component was unable to connect to the server last night.

would this be because I have the same download id as my backup server?

if so how would i get around this problem? thank you in advance

ps later to day I will be posting a 5 star review for you @ the JED - I just have some errands to run first

Hello,

If your component was unable to connect the server, maybe our server was down? Or you can check firewall settings. Our server should always receive your data to check if your download id is correct for your website base url even if you have no download id set.

When you bought Vm Invoice, you could set Site Url and Testing Url. Both sites have rights to download updates for 1 year.
