A update from 3.2.5 to 3.2.6 doesn't install the 3 modules (last -, top -, latest).

So i uninstalled 3.2.6 to re-install it again. But the installation wanted to overwrite the existing database which endet in an error (duplicate entry for ...).

So i deleted the jdownloads sql entry's. Now the installation worked ... on the 4th try.
1st try: jdownloads.xml not found
2nd try: jdownloads was installed, but as i wanted to administer it, it said: component not found.
3rd try: only the jdownloads main component was installed (search component and modules where missing)

Finally i got jdownloads 3.2.6 installed correctly, but that messed up my directories and files. It moved and renamed everything like on the attachment below.

Hi
Yes I have found the same absence. :( 

To effectively reload 3.2.6 I uninstalled the 3.2.6 component and the three plugins.  Then I renamed the jdownloads directory in the root to jdownlads-saved.  Then I used phpMyAdmin to do do a custom export of all eight jdownloads tables so I could include "Add DROP TABLE" statements.  Then deleted the jDownloads tables which are
xxxx_jdownloads_categories,  xxxx_jdownloads_config,  xxxx_jdownloads_files,  xxxx_jdownloads_licenses,
xxxx_jdownloads_logs,  xxxx_jdownloads_ratings,  xxxx_jdownloads_templates,  xxxx_jdownloads_usergroups_limits

where the xxxx prefix is site specific.

Then uploaded and installed j3.2.6 and when done then deleted the new jdownloads directory in the root, and renamed the saved one back to jdownloads.  Then imported the database tables saved in previous step.

This all worked seemlessly and hey presto the missing modules were present.

Hi,

Yes, this is a bug in the 3.2.6 installation but is fixed in 3.2.7. Sorry for the trouble.

Quote1st try: jdownloads.xml not found
2nd try: jdownloads was installed, but as i wanted to administer it, it said: component not found.
You are in the moment the only one with this problem. What have you done to solve it (see your third try)?

Your DB problem after deinstall and new install will we check more.

QuoteFinally i got jdownloads 3.2.6 installed correctly, but that messed up my directories and files
In the auto monitoring function exists in the moment a bug. We work also here on a fix.

Please note that this new jD release is still a beta and your problems has mainly to do with your try to deinstall at first and then reinstall jDownloads.
Best Regards / Gruß
