Did you unzip the package first?

I'm having the same problem. I upgraded to 2.6.9c in order to upgrade to 2.7.8 (I had a very old version), but I am getting an error for this last install.

There is no problem with the install package. Problems that you could have would be:

- failure to unzip the downloaded package. The file you download has "UNZIP" in the filename. You can't install this file. You must unzip, then you'll find folders for Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.7/2.5. Inside the appropriate folder you will find the install files and a readme file that gives further details.

- If installing the correct file and you get this error, it's normally because your upload_max_filesize setting in PHP is 2M or less. The readme file explains this also (and lots of other forum posts), but this setting must be larger than 2M.

For issue 1: yes, the big folder was unzipped so that I could get the 2.6.9 version.

for issue 2: I saw that on the migration support video that you have prior to trying to install. In System Information, my max upload is 32M so that should be enough.

The error is:
JFolder::files: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
JFolder::folder: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
JFolder::files: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

Unable to find install package

-Maybe my host needs to help with this issue?
-Could there be an issue if my host had changed some of the CSS stuff? Is it possible that a clean install would be best?
Thanks!

Thanks for the information and yes you were right I had failed to unzip the folder must have missed this, but now second error

Error building Admin Menus but install ok.

Have found some reference on the forum but concerned might delete the wrong entry in the database. Does anyone know if there are some screen shots or video to show how to fix this?
