      Try the following:

      Edit the plugin's .rb file using Notepad.
      At the end of the code it says:
      .unpack("m").to_s
      change the end part to read
      .unpack("m")[0]
      Save and restart SketchUp...

        I installed the plugin after editing it and it showed up for me and it seems to work just fine. Did you edit the text exactly as shown and restart SketchUp after saving the file? What program did you edit in?

                      I also confirm that making that simple change to the end of the code should make it load [under the View menu !] and it works fine...

                              there is no 'auto-instal' for any .rb files, only .rbz...
                              notice the 'z', it's stands for 'zipped', so if you 'zip' any .rb then rename it's extension from .zip to .rbz, it will appear in the add extension list...
