I'm finally going through pains of migrating to 1.2 (and it's a MAJOR pain let me tell you) and I've encountered problem where I would have never expected: installing the simplest modules (Feedback, Web Links and few of my own creations).

When trying to install the modules I get two error messages:
Invalid module state transition.
Could not change module state.

I googled them and it seems that there is some kind of new kinky way to initialize them, however there is absolutely no explanation on actually HOW to do it. I checked the documentation in dev's section (which only covers the init function, nothing specific about 1.2 changes) I googled for anything that would be useful, I went line by line by init files of modules that install without any issues, but still I have no clue why it's not working.

Help?
and Merry Christmas.

That's weird, I can't see anything special in my weblinks 2.0 (zk 112 still ) when I compare with the News initialization.
Only thing I can find is in pnversion.php, for weblinks modversion[user] and modversion[admin] are defined and not in News. So mmhh, not sure.

errr, I was actually trying to migrate the release I had on my current site, which was 1.0 (talking about Web Links)

The Feedback module wouldn't activate as well. And a couple more. Still no clue as to why.

I did manage a workaround. Went into the database and manually changed the pn_state field to 3, which allowed me to use the modules.

Would be good to find out why it didn't work though.
