      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! ๐Ÿ‘

                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 Gรกbor onto it server-side...

                                      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... ๐Ÿ˜•

                                        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... ๐Ÿ˜•

                                        I enabled Sketchup in Windows Firewall.
                                        The "More infoรฉ and "Donate" buttons work. But Autoinstall doesn't.
                                        The install tab is blank.

                                          Donate a little and see if that fixes it... ๐Ÿ˜†

                                            You have a 'Download' button in the page - I did NOT mean the dialog [which has the AutoInstall button]...

                                            Or is something blocking your browser and its ability to access the Internet and 'Download' files too - are you using Internet Explorer to access sketchUcation.com ?

                                            It's also affecting the PluginStore downloads and the related download and AutoInstall via the dialog within SketchUp, which uses Internet Explorer [incidentally, what version do you use?].

                                            Try and reset your IE Internet Options to use the default settings, perhaps they are too strict ?

                                            Have you also emptied the IE cache as I suggested previously...
