Cannot update to latest version

zeith 25 Feb, 2015
Hello. I cannot update to the latest version of Chronoforms V5 (5.0.4 > 5.0.8) because the following error displays:
Extension Install: Another package is already using the named directory: [...]/administrator/manifests/packages/chronoforms5. Are you trying to install the same extension again?


How may I fix this?
Thank you.

Hi zeith,

It looks as though Joomla! have added a new 'feature; in 3.4 - I guess that Max will have to update the installer package to handle this,

I found more about this here on GitHub.

The immediate fix is to open the file pkg_chronoforms5.xml in the installation package and change line 2 to this
<extension type="package" version="1.6" method='upgrade' >


With that change to the file I am able to re-install CFv5.0.8 on Joomla! 3.4
