This is the message I received when try to load the ad mod.
Has anyone seen this before?

Which version did you try to install?

[timbowyer]

I got the same message trying to install V2, using 1.0.9 and got the same message repeatedly.  I don't know what "rc2" and "rc3" mean, so I tried both versions, with the same result.  An earlier version installed OK, but I need V2 for the skyscraper ads.

Anybody there??

[darakhshan]

wrong one you installed  I can't figure it out either

I tried to install V2.0 the latest version.

Version ad_mod_1-0-9_v1-0-2d.zip  installed OK onto SMF 1.0.9, but version 2 won't install, despite the page at http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=255 claiming it's compatible.  Meanwhile it seems like our moderator is nowhere to be found... we're the blind leading the blind here...

They will reply, have some faith.

Make sure all files are chmod to 777,
Create a folder inside the package folder called temp and chmod that to 777

...The package folder is zipped - it's automatically unzipped when SMF installs it.  So how can I create a folder in a zipped package without unzipping it first?  And anyway, can 1.0.9 really handle version 2.0?  Coz the only version 2's on offer are called ad_mod_rc2_v2.zip  and ad_mod_rc3_v2.zip respectively - doesn't that mean they'll only work with rc2 and rc3, not with 1.0.9?

Gee, this is hard, like reading a book with pages missing and the author out of town and when he's here he gives you one line from the missing page and then he's off again...

You can't install version 2. You have to install the version thats compatible with 1.0.9
So this version: ad_mod_1-0-9_v1-0-2d.zip

And what i mean is. Log into your server through FTP, go to your forum folder, go into the package folder and create a folder inside there called temp, and chmod it to 777.

OK thanks, but I already successfully installed that version.  It was Version 2.0 that I (and a few other people judging from the posts here) was trying to install, because on the ad mod page it says 1.0.9 is compatible with Version 2.  But now you've solved the mystery - 1.0.9 is not, after all, compatible with Version 2.0.
