      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.

          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.

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

          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...

          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! πŸ‘

              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 GΓ‘bor 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... πŸ˜•

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

                                          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...

                                            I did download the .rbz and installed it from the Window/Preferences/Extensions Menu.
                                            I'm using Firefox but the plugin seems to be able to connect to internet because I can see the list of plugins when I click the Sketchucation Plugin Store button.
                                            IE version is 11.0.9600.17358. I did empty the cache.
                                            I really don't think it's a browser-related issue: it works fine with my SU 8 version. πŸ˜•

                                            I really don't want this to take too much energy from anyone: I can still install my plugins manually! πŸ˜„
