Hi Folk!

When I try to install the CMO module I get following error:

"Error - You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression."

Installation started

How can I fix that? 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Do you have Thumbnail service installed in directory C:\Program Files (x86)\EPiServer\Shared\Service
s\Thumbnail Service\? Do you have any files in this folder?

Can you see CMO Thumbnail service in windows services list?

It looks like it is "installed" as windows service in the system, but at least configuration file is missed.

In order to fix it you can copy a config file from C:\Program Files (x86)\EPiServer\CMS\7.0.586.1\Install\Modules\CMO7.0.518.1\Thumbnail Service\IECaptSvc.exe.config to the location, where you thumnail service is installed, usually it is here C:\Program Files (x86)\EPiServer\Shared\Services\Thumbnail Service\. Then run installation one more time. 

If you are not sure where your Thumbnail Service is installed, please open the Services list and find a service named "EPiServer CMO Thumbnail Service", then check its "Path to executable" property.
