The format of the module registration file in dnn 5.0 has some changes. Some of the previous practices in 4.x may be problematic.
One of the most common problems is that you will find that the resource.zip file in the packaging File Created for dnn 4.xis not automatically decompressed during installation in dnn 5.0. In fact, in dnn 5.0, register the resource.zip file in the dnn file as follows:
< Component Type = "Resourcefile" > < Resourcefiles > < Basepath > Desktopmodules \ modulename </ Basepath > < Resourcefile > < Name > Resources.zip </ Name > </ Resourcefile > </ Resourcefiles > </ Component >
In this way, multiple resource.zip packages can be supported in dnn 5.0.
