  1. Thanks for the post. I am just wondering have you downloaded and extracted the component pack as I have tried this several times and one of the image files for people-idmapping is actually corrupt within the download. Just trying to make sure this isn't just me even though I have downloaded it on different machines and used both Windows and Linux to extract the files with the same result.
