I was trying to get AfterGlow app to work with Splunk 4.0.10 build 77146 on Windows 64-bit.

Loading the AfterGlow page on IE7, the following error is thrown (JavaScript prompt) 'Splunk encountered the following unknown module: "AfterGlow" . The view may not load properly.'

Only possible clue is from web_access.log: GET /en-US/modules/@77146/AfterGlow/AfterGlow.js returned with a 404 error.

Is there a way to fix this?

The old 3.X afterglow app was ported a long time ago to work with 4.0, and it worked quite well. It was done through the creation of a custom module called AfterGlow that comes packaged with the app (in appserver/modules/AfterGlow/).

Unfortunately what has happened is that the mechanism of packaging custom modules with apps was not covered by any testing, and not widely used. So this mechanism broke some time ago and nobody noticed until very recently.

Although in some limited cases custom UI module classes can be hacked into an app using application.js, application.css and a sprinkle of html from the ServerSideInclude module, the AfterGlow module requires its own custom endpoint in AfterGlow.py so that wouldnt work.

In a nutshell we will really have to just fix the underlying mechanism in a maintenance release.
