      Hi TIG, thanks for yuor help, please find my answers to your questions.

      @unknownuser said:

      What version of SketchUp ?

      2014

      @unknownuser said:

      Can you Auto-Install an RBZ using Preferences > Extensions > Install button ?
      Yes

      @unknownuser said:

      Can you Auto-Install an RBZ using the SketchUcation toolset's submenu 'Archive Installer' ?
      No, I get the same error, also when I go to the website http://sketchucation.com/plugin/123-plugin clicking Download link won't conclude, the browser keep on "Waiting for plugin.sketchucation.com" I'm feeling stuck in 2014, good thing that I haven't removed SU 8 and performing some operations over there.

      @unknownuser said:

      Is this message just with the PluginStore dialog within SketchUp ?
      Yes

      @unknownuser said:

      Does your Windows User name include any unusual characters - like accents or Cyrillic ?
      No

      @unknownuser said:

      I can't make out the name in the top of the dialog - it looks to have something between the two parts of the User-Name ?

      There's a dot after the name, Name.Surname@domain.com This cannot be edited as it's a part of the corporate IT environment.

      @unknownuser said:

      Can you copy/paste this text into the Ruby Console, + <enter> and post the result...
      Sketchup.find_support_file "Plugins"
      Result C:/Users/Name.Surname/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins

      @unknownuser said:

      Can you also try this...
      File.exist?(Sketchup.find_support_file "Plugins")
      true

      What do you think?

        I've asked Gábor to look into this too...
        Have you got SketchUp / sketchUcation.com allowed in your Firewall settings ?
        Have you definitely set the User's Plugins folder Properties > Security > Edit permission to FULL, for each of those listed and applied/OK ?
        Have the permissions trickled down to all subfolders and files within that Plugins folder ?
        If you open the SketchUcation tools Plugins Manager can you see the contents of the User's Plugins folder ?
        Can you change them [e.g. disable one] ?
        If you exit SketchUp and try again have those changes been kept ?
        Can you send be by PM a screen shot showing all of your files/subfolders within Plugins 😕

          Firewall is managed centrally by IT I'll ask this; any specific port should be asking?

          As you can see in my previous screenshot I have the Full access already, I can't change as it's managed by IT. I will definitely ask for a fresh update on that from IT.

          N/A

            It looks like one of your IT guys "is protecting you from yourself".
            You need FULL read/write/modify permissions to your User's Plugins folder, AND these must also apply to the folder's contents.
            I suspect that there is some subtle limiter set up by them [perhaps under 'Advanced' ?] which you might not appreciate viewing the Properties > Security listings ?
            Perhaps it could also be Firewall related ?
            You'll need to have some meaningful discussions with your IT guys...
            Good luck.

            PS: Can you also set up [or get IT to set up] your SketchUp.exe to always run as administrator - under Properties > Compatibility - this might help too...

              How are you determining if a folder has "FULL Read/Write security permissions?"

                Right click on the folder Plugins, then properties as shown in the above screenshot.

                  Thanks TIG I'm waiting for them to try out some options to test.

                  I was able to set it up, didn't help much so far.

                    Hi,

                    The plug-in doesn't seem detect my Sketchup Make 2015. Is it normal (not implemented yet) or is there something I must do to fix this?

                    Oh, and before I forget: the bundle option is a hit! Thanks a lot for that! 👍

                      it's ready and should be the first plugin you install. you are installing it from the downloaded file in 2015 correct?

                        Hi,

                        Yes. Downloaded here http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download and installed from Window/Preferences/Extensions menu.

                        But Make 2015 doesn't show in the Bundle tab:

                            It's a bundle I created of my installed plugins in SU8.

                              I don't have my pc here to check but I think you won't have a bundle if you haven't used the tool to install any plugins. So on a new install you would download the su8 bundle and that would become the current 2015 bundle until you edit or add to it.

                                I guess you are expecting to see 'Bundle' named 'LEMINLAB-PROD-15' ?
                                Have you tried restarting SketchUp ?
                                In v2015 what does you're 'My Installs' tab show ?
                                If it's empty there is no Bundle.
                                Try installing a Plugins and re-check the 'My Installs' and the 'Bundles'...

                                If no joy can you try copy+paste this snippet into the Ruby Console + <enter>

                                puts;puts(SCF_Dialog.getMyPlugins.split('|').join("\n"))

                                This will tell us what is getting sent to the server...
                                It ought to star with your Computer-Name:SketchUp-Version
                                Then a list of available installed v2015 Plugins in order [both enabled and disabled]...

                                If still no joy then we need to get Gábor onto it server-side...

                                    Now restart SketchUp and retry the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog - any luck AutoInstalling something ?

                                    Can you use the item under the menu Plugins [now renamed Extensions in v2015] > SketchUcation submenu item to 'Open Plugins Folder'.
                                    It should open something like:
                                    C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins
                                    Are there any files in it ?

                                    If you go up one folder to .../SketchUp and use Properties > Security > Edit does every entry listed have FULL read/write/modify permissions setup?
                                    Change them if necessary, apply/OK...

                                    Try AutoInstalling again...

                                    Also open the SketchUcation > Plugins Manager dialog.
                                    Is the folder listed in the top-bar ?
                                    Are there any contents ?

                                    Report back 🤓

                                      If you go up one folder to .../SketchUp and use Properties > Security > Edit does every entry listed have FULL read/write/modify permissions setup?
                                      Change them if necessary, apply/OK...

                                      Try AutoInstalling again...

                                      Also open the SketchUcation > Plugins Manager dialog.
                                      Is the folder listed in the top-bar ?
                                      Are there any contents ?

                                        Can you tell us what your Users user-name is ?

                                        Next...
                                        Find the SketchUp.exe icon in the 2015 Programs folder.
                                        Change its Properties > Compatibility > Run As Administrator... to ON [tick]... OK.

                                        Try again...

                                            That last part sounds like a Filewall issue.
                                            Make sure SketchUp 2015 is set to allow it to make changes and access the Internet...

                                            Can you download an RBZ from the PluginStore page - linked above.
                                            Then install it using the Preferences > Extensions > Install button in v2015.
                                            Does its file[s] appear in the Users Plugins folder.
                                            Does it then appear in the Plugins Manager and My-Installs ?

                                            This is weird... 😕
