Problems ACTIVATING AKS Feature
I get the message below when attempting to active the Accessibility Kit for SharePoint feature on my Site.
Failed to instantiate file "aks_bl_Navbar.JPG" from module "Images": The specified list does not exist.
This occurs on a default "MySite" but not in a default "Publishing Site" ... Anyone know what the problem is?

- Does your My Site have the Publishing Feature activated? AKS v1.0 is meant for use on Publishing Sites so activating the Publishing Feature should do the trick.

Thanks for thr prompt response Waldek! That makes some sense.
When I tried to activate the Publishing feature however I get this error message.
The specified name is already in use.
A list, survey, discussion board, or document library cannot have the same name as another list, survey, discussion board, or document library in this Web site. Use your browser's Back button, and type a new name.(Why T.F. don't MS programmers put data into their error messages!!!!!!)
I checked the MOSS logs and this seems the most relevant entry.... Is there some way I can track down the "specified name" from this entry and correct the problem?

As for now: have yout tried creating a new Publishing Portal and activating AKS there? The AKS feature contains the new versions of CSS and Master Pages only. If you want to make use of the Control Adapters you will have to configure them manually as explained in the manual.
- Failed to instantiate file "aks_bl_Navbar.JPG" from module "Images": The specified list does not exist. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.EnableModuleFromXml(String bstrFeatureDirectory, String bstrUrl, String bstrXML)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.EnableModuleFromXml(String bstrFeatureDirectory, String bstrUrl, String bstrXML)Still none the wiser. What am I missing?
And yes - AKS works fine of a new publishing site created from the Publishing template.
What you could do is to try to reactivate the Publishing Feature:
stsadm -o activatefeature -name <PublishingFeatureName> -url <YourSiteUrl> -force (you need force in order to activate it although it causes errors)
then deactivate it and activate it using the GUI. These steps might cause loss of some data so make a backup prior to running them.
Can you send the code how you activated the feature
