Install error Joomla 2.5

[Richardrnc]

Using com_xmap.zip or even pkg_com_xmap-2.2.1.zip
the error comes up as:
* Another menu item with the same parent has this alias
* Error building Admin Menus

I can install plugins, but no administration of the component.
it wont show up in the component list.

how do i install without error?

I have the same problem as Richardrnc. I use joomla 2.5.3

I am running into the same issue today. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and continue to get the same error. Any tips or advice on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:

I'm having exactly the same problem. No XMap component access. And yes, Plugins are accesible. I use Rockettheme's Clarion Template, Joomla 2.5.3. I also have Akeeba backup installed, but Akeeba support has reported not finding any conflict with Xmap on their end with recent Akeeba versions. I use Akeeba Backup Professional 3.4.3.

Vargas, any help?

Thanks

Exactly the same problem with me too

Has anyone found a solution or is this the end of Xmap?

I found a workaround to show the admin menu.
The entry in table <db_prefix>_menu for extension com_xmap is wrong.

First get the correct extension-id:
select extension_id from <db_prefix>_extensions where type='component' and name='com_xmap';

Then change the wrong menu entry:
update <db_prefix>_menu set component_id = <extension_id from previous select>;
