Error during upgrade from 4.5.1 to 4.5.2

Running Sermonspeaker on Joomla 2.5.9 ... system shows that an extension needs upgrading. Click on the Control Panel icon, see its an upgrade to SS. Select it, click on update, and I get this error in a red box:

Unknown Archive type

Updating COM_INSTALLER_TYPE_TYPE_ was successful.

Anyone else see this type of error. I can update fine using the full COM_Sermonspeaker component file or the package, however I'd like to be able to use the built-in Joomla update.

Thanks for such a great component.

For some reason it tries to load xml files which do not have to do anything with Joomla itself nor with SermonSpeaker.

I'm not sure what happens here, but it sounds kind of like a configuration issue with either the server or Joomla. Maybe check your tmp directory settings. When Joomla installs a component it puts it into a tmp directory where it's extracted and the Joomla searchs for XML files.

it looks like some kind of statistics software that you are running outside of joomla brentwoodpc.org/modlog perhaps it interfears with joomla installer.

I'll take a look and do some cleanup of the TMP directory.

Thanks ..
