Five Pack Module installation 2.2

I've uploaded the files for the five pack:
(XOOPS 2.2 Module Packages (5))
To the modules folder in my install of XOOPS 2.2.

When viewing the System Admin, I see at the bottom, three install icons but when I click any of these I get a "Module File for Not Found!" message.

My first thought was wrong folder. But in moving the files to other folders I seem to get the same results.

I've read the Install FAQ but find no detail about the correct folder, etc.

xoops_root/modules/article
xoops_root/modules/newbb

and so on
This is how it should be, ok?

This usually happens when there is not the xoops_version.php file inside any folder in modules directory

Just to make sure I understand:
xoops_root/modules/the module's folder/the module's files?

And, not to be confused with

xoops_root/html/modules
the above exists upon XOOPS install. So, I DO NOT put the modules in this folder. Right?

Here's what is confusing. When XOOPS installs, the two mods that come with the program are setup in html/modules/module name/module files. Why would I put additional modules in diretory other than that one?

Do I copy xoops_version.php to any Module folder? Where does this file reside when XOOPS is installed?

Any modules you want to install should go directly into your site's "modules" folder. Any themes would go into the "theme" folder.

Be careful with the XOOPS module packs. You want to be sure that you have the latest [b]stable[/] versions of the modules you install. I don't think that all of the modules in the packs are up to date. Also, some of them have been modified to work with XOOPS 2.2, but we're up to 2.2.4 now.

The XOOPS version.php should come with each of the individual modules already. It would be in the respective mod's root folder.

So, html/modules is the structure that XOOPS sets up when it installs. This is the modules folder to which you refer, I assume.

I do NOT need to add a folder called Modules to the XOOPS root. Correct? xoops/modules

You can copy the entire module folder to your site. It will just add the modules in the folder to your site. No problem as long as you don't have similar modules already in there. Then it would overwrite them.
