Unexpected Character on transferring package

Hello,

When we attempt to install a package from our dev environment to our production environment, we get a package installation error. And in the install log the error reads:

 

" Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: =. Path '', line 0, position 0."

 

I have searched the community here, and found several posts related to this error. But I cannot find any missing lookup fields nor any missing objects. Could someone tell me a way that I can find the source of the error?

Hi Josh,



Please make sure that your exported package doesn't have additional strings appended to it like a date.



Whenever we export a package, the package is downloaded into a ZIP file with the current date appended to the filename followed by an underscore (_). After exporting the package, please remove the newly appended date and make sure the downloaded package name is exactly the same as the package in the configuration section. 



This is one of the reasons that cause an error while installation (parsing of package). Please post your install_log.txt to understand this more better.
