Joomla 2.5.9 : Module installation difficulty

I'm a newbie on this technology and just started module development after visiting so many links.

But, as whenever I tried to install my developed HelloWorld module via extension manager, I always encounter with the following beneath error:

"JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jainism/tmp/install_511e1c1cc2b04/mod_helloworld/tmpl"

It's may be the question be duplicated but I've tried all possible solution which I found here and also at other sites but still my issue's status unresolved.

For convenience, I'm just pasting my xml code below:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="module" version="2.5" client="site" method="upgrade">
<name>Hello, World Module!</name>
<author>Mohit Jaiswal</author>
    <license>GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see
        LICENSE.txt</license>
<version>2.5.0</version>
<description>A simple Hello, World! modules.</description>
<files>
   <filename module="mod_helloworld">mod_helloworld.php</filename>
    <folder>tmpl</folder>
     <filename>index.html</filename>
     <filename>helper.php</filename>
     <filename>mod_helloworld.xml</filename>
</files>
</extension>

And, also I've cross-checked too many times my directory structure as present in above xml as well as file names too.

Please do provide me your assistance.

If tmpl folder is in your module zip then the reason could be that you are adding <filename>mod_helloworld.xml</filename> in your xml file.Try without this.

Check this also- http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_simple_module

Hope it will work.

This error occurs probably because "tmpl" folder is empty. If you put the default 0 byte "index.html" file inside this folder, the error will likely go away.
