      Many Thanks for your reply, unfortunately i've done all of the above but am still receiving the same install error message!! 😞
      I don't know how relevant this is but within the control>users>security tab i noticed i had full access but was unable to tick the special permissions box?? Could this be preventing the download??
      Many Thanks

        Very probably that is the problem. Can you log in as administrator and make yourself an administrator with full privileges and then try again?

          This is probably not going to be very helpful to you now but when Win7 first appeared I was always advised not to install anything to the c:\program files or C:\program files (x86) folders
          Instead make a new folder, eg: 'C:\sketchup' to avoid all sorts of admin problems.

          Reality is only how the mind perceives it to be.

            I never download anything from the Web directly to a program folder but have a separate folder under Documents to store my downloads. As to the plugin you are installing, if the download is in zip format it won't even work before you unzip it. If you haven't turned off notifications in the User Account control settings, Windows 7 will not let you download anything directly to the Program files folders.

            • download the .zip to somewhere else, the default downloads folder created by your browser is OK
            • unzip it
            • move or copy the contents of the unzipped folder to your sketchup plugins folder. Windows 7 should at this point ask for confirmation or for an admin login and password.

              Problem solved. It was an extraction error. Fixed with 7-zip. πŸ‘

                    Any solution on how to install soap skin bubble on Sketchup 2013?

                    I tried, and i get error message saying there is a new version with installer for Sketchup 9. However, on their site, I can't seem to find the "installer" file?

                      Looks like you'll have to wait for the author to get his new version out.

                          Yes, that happens from time to time. The author has made the plugin so there is a time limit and you must reinstall it to continue using it. Go to the author's site, download and install it again.
