You should not unpack the upgrade on the server, because your root access is completely different from the apache/httpd/ftp user, but if you do, then you are assumed to know what you do. Rather than talking about an admincp replacement, you should say: merge. Attention has to be paid on certain ftp clients which say "replacement" (Windows).

As suggested elsewhere, the best solution is Filezilla or other another FTP client which uses the right terminology and functionality. I'm still not sure if native Windows does replace the folders or merge, but I have not to worry about it, because I do my FTP with more reliable tools.
The problems about flash have been talked a lot. With the wrapper it is not possible to fix broken flash banners. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of banner developers who do not set correctly the banner flags and thus we get ill-behaving banners. As a rule of thumb, if a plain banner does not execute correctly, then it will not work either embedded in the wrapper.

The only features you can change with the flash wrapper, are the way how the banner looks (resizing), and vary the landing page.

Thanks for the suggestion! I did just double-check folder permissions and they're all at 755. Still receiving the same error.

Thanks
good job

I have downloaded this and am playing with it. Looks like it has everything I need but I'm to sure where in a template to put the code. I'm attaching a picture. I want the banner to go where it says "global header 2". This is a standard location for VBulletin's built in ad manager. Can somebody tell me in what template and location?

Thanks

It really depends on you ... just try and see if this is what you want ... it doesn't explode :)

If you still have the problem, please PM me with an admin account for your forums and an FTP account in order to see what's going on. I am pretty sure that if the files are uploaded and visible to FTP, they should be also be available to the web server, but you never know :)

Still not getting the banners to show up. Here is where I want to put it in my header. I want to use position 0 for this location. Can somebody tell me what code I should be using here? I feel that I am using the wrong code. I want to use the global_header2 location.

In one of the available selections (or just somewhere in the templates) you world insert:
There is also a movie showing what it needs to do ;)

Got it. Thanks. I wanted it to show just below the login bar in the header. Working perfectly now. Thanks.

I don't know if anybody needs this or not but if it will help anybody, here is how I have them displayed in my header and how to do it. I like this because it displays on every page. CMS, Forums, etc.

First, I created the banners in Position 0

The go to Style Manager, All style options.

In "Header", find:

Replace with:
