all i get when trying to install is error
any hints
Yes...
Read the last ten or twenty posts...
These kinds of errors are almost always because the OP has not installed the files/subfolders correctly, although it is quite clearly explained on the tool's download page... Check the files'/subfolders' "footprint" are as illustrated...
OR alternatively you simply can't add them to the 'plugins' folder because they haven't got sufficient permissions to add files to that folder - if so fix the permissions and retry...
If you do get 'error-messages' then it's pointless keeping them to yourself when asking for help [actually worse than useless because it annoys the very people who might be able to help you otherwise], the error-messages very reason for being is to pass on information, so that someone may have some clues about what's wrong... many error messages are so obvious that we look at them and say, 'do this to fix it...'; however, in this case even without the messages I'd bet money on it being one or both of the above causes

Had you recently added another tool?
That could be clashing with this - which is stable in its own right ?? -

Lots of problems extracting from the .zip plus Adobe cannot open the documentation.
I finally got the extraction but Adobe is still Not Responding.

Ralph, what are you using for your ZIP extraction tool? The thing that came with Windows? If so, download and install 7zip and use that instead. It'll respect and maintain the file structure in the ZIP file when you extract the files to the Plugins folder.
what happens when you try to open the PDF documentation? Do you get any error messages?
-
Alternatively... you have v8... so get Thomthom's SimplePluginsInstaller tool [from the SCF Plugins Index] - needs v8M2+... install that from its RBZ and then you'll get a new Plugins menu tool that lets you auto-install any ZIP/RBZ/RB/RBS archibes/files without such issues - unless of course you have other problems with security=permission on the Plugins folder [should be 'FULL' - so check and fix those if needed]...

today my windows updated itself, and now sketchup crashes on startup.
removing plugins one by one showed that only removing LibFredo will enable sketchup to run.
-
i have this crashing problem too( today
-
Same here. I reinstalled Sketchup, and then started adding plugins one by one. I've even downloaded the latest versions of some plugins that i didn't update before thinking it may solve the problem.
It is definitely a problem with Fredo6 plugins
-
If it was a problem with Fredo6 plugins as you assert, everyone who uses them would be having the same problems. I use them on several machines, both PC and Mac and don't have issues with crashes.
Do you get the crashing with only Fredo6 plugins installed?
What operating system? Do you get a Bug Splat? What exactly are you trying to do when the "crash" occurs? What is the geometry you're trying to use the tool on? How big? Post an example SKP file that crashes when you run the tool.
Just saying it crashes without supplying useful information is a worthless report.

I appologize Dave R, you are right...
I'm using Win7 and SUPro8, and i think more people will be experiencing this problem, because untill today i had no problems with any Fredo6 plugins at all. But today when i wanted to open the file i was working on yesterday, it crashed. I tried again and again with same results. Bug Splat pop-up everytime.
I tried to copy the file to a different location - it crashed. Renameing it - it crashed. Then i even tried to open the .skb file but got the same result. I then tied a new, blank file but it too crashed on startup.
Next step was to reinstall Sketchup. It didn't help. So finally i removed SU and all plugins. Reinstalled SU again and started installing plugins. After each plugin was installed i started Sketchup just to test it. Vray and Artisan worked fine.
Then i installed RoundCorner 2.3a. Started SU, saw the RoundCorner toolbar but got a notification about the library missing. Installing LibFredo6 4.7a was the next step. I didn't start SU immmediately, but installed the BezierSpline 1.4f. Ran Sketchup and it crashed.
I removed and installed Fredo6's plugins back and forth trying to figure out which was the one actually causing the problem. In the end it was this one.
I don't know why it started causing problems today, but i sure hope a fix is found soon.
p.s. If it's of any help, i just remembered that the check-for-update pop-up for Fredo6 plugins was giving me errors since a while back. It couldn't connect to the database or something. I didn't pay much attention since i checked for new versions on the forum from time to time and the the older versions of some plugins (i updated today) worked fine so i wasn't in a rush to update.

Why don't you add your operating system and SU version to your profile?
So from your statement, you think more people will be having this problem since you are?
I gather that you haven't done as I asked before and tried with only Fredo6 plugins installed. I suspect it isn't Fredo6 but rather the Vray plugin that is causing the problem you have. At least humor me and try it without Vray installed

VfSU is known to be potentially unstable.

"today my windows updated itself, and now sketchup crashes on startup.

I only said that i expect that this will hapen to more users as the Windows update, the one that seams is in conflict with Freed6 plugin, gets to more people. I personally didn't see any update (it may have updated before shutting down, like usual), but something had to change from last night to this morning.
And yes, i did install only LibFredo6 and no other plugins while waiting for someone to reply, and Sketchup crashed immediately.
p.s. I've been a member of this forum for more than 2 years and haven't posted anything 'till today. If i didn't think that was the best place to get the solution for my problem, i would have been a 'silent' member still. That is why my profile is empty.
-
I figured some Windows related update may have hapened last night and i'd try to reinstall the plugins today. The problem was resolved out-of-the-blue just like it apeared.
Just thought you guys should know...

Help! Just installed LibFredo6 4.7 and now SU crashes! I overvrote the old version 3.7 and lost the old file! How can I bring it back to work??? I know, I should have saved the old LibFredo6.rb file... but I didn't. Can anyone help me? Where can I get the older rb file?
-
There should be no issues between old/new versions.
What do you mean by 'crash' ?
I suspect something else is causing the issue.
Can you post a screen shot of your Plugins folder...
Are you 100% sure that you have installed everything exactly as required??
