Report

It keep telling me that it already is installed or to review some XML file.

As for what I can read here, then I should not expect to get any support.... waste of money.
Owner's reply

The user seems to try to upload the wrong component. We provide both versions (Joomla 1.0.x and Joomla 1.5.x) in the package.

Save your money. Partly it not work - support poor.
I have buy - never used.
Tried the demo and couldn't get it to work. Possibly due to a slightly unconventional server setup . . but who knows?. They don't respond to email, there's no phone number. You are totally on your own with this one.

Try the demo before buying!

This does exactly what the developers say it does! Highly recommended! I was able to clone my site with all file and folder permissions intact (which has been the hardest thing up to now), straight onto a new server. The only glitch I came across was when restoring the site on the new server, the field which asks for the new database host didn't allow me as many characters as I needed. I got around this by using another domain name that points to the same server. So guys, please don't limit the amount of characters in that box! Other than that, BRILLIANT!
