Thanks in advance")* Hi, I think that you had a problem for unintalling because the database was containing HikaShop information but files were not present in the server. So it should explain that the xml file couldn't be found during uninstall. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
