XML installation problem with modules

Hi,
I can't install modules using XML due to server restrictions "open_basedir restriction in effect"
Is there any way I can convert XML for module installation back into the old format of files like what was in a zip or tar.gz

Which Module do you need in folder format?

cataloger is the module I want. I had CMSMS 0.13 working with cataloger 0.4.2 (the last release with a tar.gz ) and then I upgraded to CMSMS 1.02.
So either I can try changing the rowcount calls to recordcount or hopefully find a way to install cataloger 0.5.3 usinf files rather than XML.

I'd try the rowcount change first...
Or I could upload it, latest 0.5.3, in xml to mine then zip the folder for you...

Ended up setting up a local CMSMS on a Win 98se box. Apache, PHP, MySql.
Install modules there and then transfer. Complicated but not impossible.
I spoke to my web hosting company as well and they got round the base_dir restrictions but I still have major problems with file permissions.
So much easier to ftp modules etc.
