Trying to install it, but it causes this error when I load the web portal:

I've rolled it back by deleting the .upack file i added to the /Extensions folder and restoring the one I had put in the recycle bin, but I'm still facing this error.

Hi @arozanski_1087,

Did you restart IIS or the Integrated Web Server after copying the upack file back? Also, did your upack file have a version number in the name? Or was it just InedoCore.upack? I doubt this, but can you navigate directly to /administration/extensions? Could you also take a screen shot of the files in the Extensions folder?

Thanks,
Rich

Hi @arozanski_1087,

You can also try flipping back to the Built-in User Directory by reseting the base admin account. You won't lose any AD users you have setup, it just simply switches ProGet to use the Built-in directory and resets the Admin password back to Admin.

Thanks,
Rich

I restarted both the service and the IIS webserver after I rolled it back. When I found that did not fix the issue I kicked the OS entirely.
My upack file name that I installed matched what you had me download off of that feed.

Hi @arozanski_1087,

Glad a reboot of the OS fixed it. Can you try renaming the downloaded version to InedoCore.upack. I noticed ProGet gave me some issues installing the extension manually when leaving the version number on there.

Thanks,
Rich

@rhessinger --
I did forget to add: I was able to resolve it all after I reset the admin password and reset the services. Once logged in It prompted me to clear cookies for my name account since I am the only one that's been using it.

I have done ask you asked in your last reply. It looks as though renaming the file to just be InedoCore.upack is the solution.

I have since logged back into my instance of Proget and re-enabled LDAP using an administrative service account. From there, it sent be back to the login, where I logged in as myself. In the Permissions page for users and groups, I have added a user in the directory where the users reside, and can confirm that his username does NOT get replaced with his MACHINEACCOUNT$ object. Testing on a few other users seems to indicate that the issue is solved.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @arozanski_1087,

That's great! I'm sorry it took this long to get this working. Thanks for working with me to figure this out! I'm going to make a change to the documentation right now to include the requirement of naming the extension file. I will also get a full release of this extension out today so it will lock in that version with the ProGet release tomorrow.

Thanks,
Rich
