installing bots and components error

[ROUBOS]

Hi,
I downloaded a component from the Elxis download site,

and when I try to install the component I get the following error:

ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in the package

What could be the cause of that?
I was getting the same error when I was trying to install my template, but I simply uploaded it with FTP and it worked..

any thoughts?

thanks

Check if the component zip contains other stuff too except from the component itself.
Which component?

To install a component:
- Folders: components/, administrator/components/, tmpr/ must be writeable.
- You must have zlib support (zip)
- File uploads must be enabled

I want to install gallery components and bots.
how do I check on zlib support and file uploads? Would that be under  Global Configuration options?

Also, check if zip file contain another folder in it, or xml file is in the root of the zip file.
