 I used your extension on another older site Joomla 2.5 event gallery 3.2. Now I'm trying to upload, install and use on a new site but I get this message trying to install the component.

Warning
JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file.

Table 'ironcity.da1tl_eventgallery_folder' doesn't exist SQL=ALTER TABLE `da1tl_eventgallery_folder` CHANGE `published` `published` TINYINT( 4 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'

Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: com_eventgallery_3_4_3.zip


I can do the plugins individually but the component won't install. I would really like to use this as I have two more sites coming up that I will require the full version.
I even tried loading directly from the Joomla extensions gallery but I get the same problem.
Hope to hear from you soon.

You have to problems here:

1. Event Gallery 3.4 does not support Joomla 2.5 any longer. It might work but I did not test it. If something broke I'll not fix it.
2. the "new" site seems to think there is already an Event Gallery installation and tries an update. Since the database tables do not exist this fails. Please uninstall all Event Gallery packages, components, modules and plugins in this order and try again to get a fresh installation.

Please do never install things separately. There is a reason why there is a package which contains a file "DO_NOT_EXTRACT_THIS_PACKAGE".

This particular site is using Joomla 3.4.8PHP version 5.5
I was trying to install event gallery 3.4.2 and got this message.  Is it because the original installation of Joomla was 2.5 and I migrated the site to 3.4? there didn’t seem to be any instance of event gallery in the original files but I will try your suggestions and let you know.

I wasn't able to uninstall all the programs using the uninstaller so I went through each and every folder looking for event gallery class files. Another search told me there was still one left but I couldn't find it. I disabled it and tried the reinstallation and it all worked. I had to go in and re-enable the com file and in a few minutes all is well. Thank you!

So you updated your site from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3? The #__schemas table is in this case sometimes broken and the Joomla! installer tried to perform updates from Event Gallery 2.2 till the latest version. This fails of cause.

One can fix this by creating the right entry in the #__schemas table.
