I received an error on install, saying Folder could not be written, what does this mean?

This error message is typically a result of file permissions. Please double check the installation checklist to ensure that the Joomla! installation has the ability to create/move files.

Why did I receive an error saying the package does not contain a valid xml file?

Please be sure that you have followed the instructions and unzipped the downloaded file before trying to install the component. Typically the component file will begin with the prefix, "com_".

I installed the component, now what?

Now that the component is installed successfully the next step is to create a menu link into the system. This can be done through the Joomla! menu manager. The standard link is to the Default Project Layout.
