Sheboygan not seen in administrator's 'load package'

[Jay]

Thank you Andy for reply,

Yes, I did copy the .mgp file into the same "Package Folder" as defined
under Configure Services" in MG Administrator. For me with Windows its <
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages> which is the same
path/location as I see in the Resource Services section (which is the
default location) entitled 'Package folder'.

  The Sheboygan down load is named "Sheboygan.mgp" from the down load site,
however it is saved as a .zip .
My documentation entitled 'Installing Sample Data and Viewer Sample
Application' downloaded from osgeo does not mention to change the name from
.zip to .mgp , however I did see somewhere (can't remember where) what at
first glance appears to be the same document, with the exception of an
additional box inserted into the numbered directions steps (#2 and #3) that
said to change the name .zip to .mgp. I also found a post on osgeo mailings
lists telling to change .zip to .mgp also. Great , I thought that was my
issue. but still not showing in the "Load Packages" section.
 I do not have MG Studio, and I wonder if it is required so as my computer
recognizes a .mgp. This is my only guess as I have tried numerous things
including down loading again, down loading and saving directly to  <
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages> then change from .zip
to .mgp. I think I am missing something simple as my problem seems should be
resolved simply. but.  Any ideas would be great.
Thanks 
Jay

Are you copying the .mgp file into the same "Packages folder" as defined
under Configure Services in MapGuide Administrator?

Hello,  
 
Installed MG (version 1.0.2.17861) and tested pursuant to Documentation-'
Installing and configuring on windows'.  All seems fine so far.  My problem
is trying to load sample data package Sheboygan pursuant to
Documentation-'Installing sample data and viewer sample application'.  The
Sheboygan down load entitled 'Sheboygan .mgp' is apparently zip, I've put it
in the correct location, renamed its extension to .mgp, and yet in the 'Load
Packages section' it still is not listed. It appears that for some reason it
is not recognized. I have tried on 2 machines with same results. I think its
something rather simple that I am just missing. Appreciation in advance.
 
Jay
