I have Sitecore 8.2 update 5 and am trying to install Email Experience Manager 3.5 rev. 170810 (Initial Release)

From the downloaded & extracted zip, I have uploaded - Email Experience Manager 3.5.0 rev. 170810.zip

The installation ran for hours and I had to close it. There were also no errors logged.

But in the launch pad, I see the EXM icon and when clicked on it, it throws the error:

    The partial view '/sitecore/shell/client/Applications/ECM/EmailCampaign.Controls/AccountInformationExt/AccountInformationExt.cshtml' 
    was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. 
    The following locations were searched:
    /sitecore/shell/client/Applications/ECM/EmailCampaign.Controls/AccountInformationExt/AccountInformationExt.cshtml

I extracted the package to find the file, but it wasn't there. To my surprise, it wasn't there in any folder of package.zip.

enter image description here

Is this a bug.

Or is there any other way to install EXM.

StackTrace:

    Too old to answer. However for anyone landing in this post: check whether your EXM config files are in place. I faced the same and the problem was my config files were missing. I just put it back and all good. – Dash Jun 7 '19 at 3:07

The .cshtml files are now embedded in the Sitecore.EmailCampaign.Cm.Ui assembly using Razor Generator.

If you look deeper into the stacktrace, you might find Glass Mapper. If so, this is a known issue and you'll need to look into upgrading Glass.

  • We are not using Glass for our project – Qwerty Apr 11 '18 at 9:41
  • Can you post the full stacktrace in your question? Also it's not a good sign that you had to stop the installation, so the config file which registers the assembly with embedded razor files is probably missing: App_Config\Include\EmailExperience\Sitecore.EmailExperience.UI.config – Steve McGill Apr 11 '18 at 9:43

I suspect you're missing DLL's to be quite honest. The fact it took that long to install the package makes me think Sitecore coughed up a hairball when installing the DLL's, worker pool recycled, and the installed crapped out leaving out important DLL's. That's my working theory.

Check your bin folder and make sure you have the following DLL's present.

EXM DLL's
