When try and install the haversine add-on getting this error message:
There was an error processing the upload.Invalid app contents: archive contains more than one immediate subdirectory: and haversine
Hi simpkins1958,
usually this indicates some wrong /weird
files or wrong directory levels in the package.
For example on Mac OSX you can find all these ._*
or .DS_STORE
files. To work around this problem just unpack the downloaded app package on your PC and check that you have a directory called app name
and in there you can find bin
,default
and all the other required folders. If you find a folder called app name/app name
and then all the other folders, the app has been packed wrong.
If the folders look good, search for theses ._*
files and delete them, afterwards zip the cleaned directory using the following zip options zip -r app.zip app -x *.DS_Store* -x *__MACOSX*
(on OSX at least) this will exclude those invisible Mac resource files such as _MACOSX
or ._Filename
and .DS_STORE
files.
Now you should be able to install the app without any problem.
Hope this helps ...
cheers, MuS
