Answer 1

Please change your xml setup file of the module like the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="module" version="2.5" client="site" method="upgrade">
    <name>Module Title</name>
    .
    .
    <version>2.5</version>
    <description>Module description</description>
    <files>
        <filename module="mod_test">mod_test.php</filename>
        <filename>index.html</filename>
    </files>
</extension>

Because from Joomla 1.6 the component setup format has been changed.Instead of using <install> tag you can use <extension> tag like describe above.
