hey guys. i've spent all day setting up my own source repository for installer (for custom eBooks) and i'm really close to getting it working, but i keep getting an error when trying to install said eBook (main script execution failed!).

i can see that installer is failing while trying to create the directory for the book. it's creating a file with the correct folder name but it's not a directory like it should be (it has no permissions and when i try to cd into it, it says it's not a directory). i've tried messing with some ifnot preflight stuff but i can't figure that out, that only made things worse. and it doesn't look like any other eBook providers run those commands anyway.

after thinking about it for a while, i thought it was a permissions problem with the actual .zip file but i changed everything in the repository's directory to 777 and it's still not working. i'm stumped.

here is the link to my xml file, if that helps. maybe i'm missing something:

any help would be much appreciated.

i think i may have figured it out. it wasn't permissions on the .zip, it was the permissions on the folder that was being zipped! sweet.
