Sorry to bother you as I know this plugin was developed completely separately, but I'm getting the exact same error. I really prefer jDownloads over DocMan for my site, but this plugin is crucial.

I tried uncommenting the first define in the file as suggested, but that generated this error:

XML Parsing Error at 6:107. Error 9: Invalid characterXML Parsing Error at 6:107. Error 9: Invalid characterXML Parsing Error at 6:107. Error 9: Invalid character
Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /home/eatve0/public_html/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.installer.php on line 614

Has anyone gotten this to work correctly after seeing this error? If so, what did you do?

This is my first time encountering this error.

Thanks for the help,
Melanie

There are some strange characters in the cb.installer.php file, may be corrupted ?
