Hi

Hope this is right place to post this wee issue I got when I install modules from http://drupal.org/project/Modules site

I have Installed Drupal in the directory of C:\Inetpub\drupal on my Windows Home Server and it work fine when I add some module and not with other.

When I install some module (version 6+, not 7), it come up with the following message
• warning: opendir(modules/favicon): failed to open dir: No error in C:\Inetpub\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 888.
• warning: opendir(modules/favicon): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 888.

So I open file.inc with MS Word 07 and located line 888 which only have in it }

Any ideas how to fix this issue

Thanks in advanced

First, please never ever open a code file with MSWord ever again. Use an actual text editor!
You can try Wordpad if you are trapped on an island and tied to a stake, but never Word.

"I installed some module" is the opposite of a useful bug report. It's sorta important what you actually did!

The error is not FROM core file.inc, it is the result of a module calling a core function incorrectly. In this case, it seems that favicon.module is looking for files in a directory that doesn't exist.
... OR (because it doesn't look like favicon does anything like that at all)
... did you just delete a module without disabling it first?
In that case visit admin/build/modules and save once.

Knowing what you did to cause the error is important. Without knowing, it's hard to guess.
