I know a lot of people have run into this problem before but i've
searched everywhere and i cant seem to find an answer. I wrote an
extension and i tried to package it up into a xpi and install it.
However, i get this error "install script not found". How do i debug
this?

Here is my install.rdf file:

Here is my directory structure:

RH
/chrome.manifest
/install.rdf
/chrome -->chromeFiles -->content: rh.js, overlay.xul, rh.css

I did not jar the chromeFiles directory. I was testing this locally, by
just adding a file with the path to the extension in the extensions
directory for firefox and it worked fine. But with the xpi, it says
"install script not found".

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
