carousel banner

Hi 


At present we are using  Joomla 5.4.6

I unzipped the file mod_carousel_banner.zip  within the 'first' zip file

Still getting  error message:- danger Unable to detect manifest file

When I googled the error for Joomla 5,  this is what it returnedThis

Joomla installation error typically occurs when the system cannot find or read the extension's manifest XML file, often due to version compatibility issues in the extension's metadata.Example: If you try installing an extension on Joomla 4.3 and see:  Unable to detect manifest file

it may be because the extension’s targetplatform attribute in its XML manifest only supports versions up to 4.2:
targetplatform name="joomla" version="(4\.(0|1|2))" 

This prevents Joomla from recognizing it as compatible with your current version.To address this, first verify that the extension package contains a valid manifest XML file (commonly named extension.xml or similar) in its root directory. If it exists, check the <targetplatform> tag and ensure it includes your Joomla version. For example, to support Joomla 4.3, update it to:
targetplatform name="joomla" version="(4\.(0|1|2|3))" 

I looked in the xml file,  I could not find any reference to 'targetplatform'.   Where would it stored?

Honestly, I’m a bit confused about why the installation process seems difficult on your side, because the steps are actually quite simple: you just need to unzip the downloaded file (mod_carouselbanner_unzip_first.zip), then install the mod_carousel_banner.zip file inside it.

Please take a look at the video I uploaded, is there any step that might have been missed?
