I wrote Joomla plugin and when I tried to install via Joomla admin panel, I got error like JInstaller: :Install: Cannot Find Joomla XML Setup File. How can I fix this issue
1. double check your XML setup file of your Joomla plugin and make sure its valid.
2. Make sure your XML setup file is matching the version of Joomla
Here is an example of XML file for Joomla 3 plugin
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <extension type="plugin" version="1.0" method="upgrade" group="Plugins"> <name>Softwarehtec.com Example Plugin</name> <creationDate>{__DAY__} {__MONTH__} {__YEAR__}</creationDate> <version>{__PLUGIN_VERSION__}</version> <author>SoftwareHtec</author> <authorEmail>wp@softwarehtec.com</authorEmail> <authorUrl>http://softwarehtec.com</authorUrl> <copyright>(C) 2010-{__YEAR__} SoftwareHtec.com.
