Re: "Install script not found" on Firefox 1.0.4?!

A good starting point, imho, would be to download an xpi from 
UMO/Addons.mozilla.org whatever; (such as chatzilla or something) and 
compare it's directory structure, roughly with yours.

install.rdf MUST be in the top-level directory of the xpi for example. 
(as in if you were to expand the xpi with an unzip program install.rdf 
would be in your current directory by default.)
