SketchUcation Kid

hello everybody!

this is the error text taken from the Load Errors screen:
Error Loading File C:/Users/Alex Boorjs/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/wisext_alltools/loader
Could not find included file 'C:/Users/Alex Boorjs/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/wisext_alltools/loader'

my SketchUp version is 2015 Pro. my Windows is 64 bit.

thanks in advance. I'd appreciate your help.

Just to be sure, did you install SketchUp the correct way? When logged in as a regular user (not to be logged n as Administrator) right-click the installer file, select "Run as Administrator"?

I did it. I selected the exe file, Run as Administrator but, unfortunately, it showed the same result.

The error message:

is the clue...
If you look in C:/Users/Alex Boorjs/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/wisext_alltools/ folder do you see a ' loader' file - I suspect not - it needs to be called ' loader.rb' - it's a hidden-folder but will be accessible with suitable settings or using its full path in a Windows-Explorer dialog...
If this is the case... you need to get directly in touch with the author who seems to have bad-code !

well, there's a loader file in there but, its extension is .rbe. is there anything I can do by myself or should I report to the developer?

thanks.

The Ruby files within the Plugins folder should all be .RB, those within the extensions' subfolders in the Plugins folder can be .RB, .RBS or .RBE...
The ' loader' file should be called by some earlier code using the correct method...
For .RB files it can be done with require(relative_path_to_file) with .rb filetype-extension shown
Also load(full_path_to_file) with .rb filetype-extension would work
BUT for encrypted files it is different - Sketchup::require(path_to_file) and then the filetype-name is optional.

Because the loading code is almost certainly encrypted only the author can fix file path weirdness...

Ok. I've already sent a message to the author reporting the problem. I thank you all for the attention paid and the help.
