For completeness...
Please post the exact name of the LibFredo RBZ file, and its size - from properties...
Screenshot its dialog for us...

Currently it should be LibFredo6_v11.5a.rbz and ~6.14 Mb

What's the folder you are trying to install it from ?

LibFredo6_v11.5a (2)- and yes it is 6.14 MB and they are downloading to my downloads folder.

Please re-read the properties dialog for that RBZ.
You posted an image which shows a check box - bottom-right
"Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to protect this computer"
The adjacent box says "Unblock" BUT it is not ticked !

Try ticking it and retry...

I now suspect that you have some system-setting that is being overly protective regarding possible malware etc !
It sees a ZIP [RBZ] file containing things that might be suspect and blocks it...

You can tick 'Unblock' for each RBZ file you download...
Alternatively you can adjust your system-settings, but might be is complicated, and you need to read up on it... e.g.
https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/unblock-file-in-windows-10.7625/

I think this is getting us somewhere...
But you do need to sort out your system's security settings yourself...

Hello TIG, So I tried as it was stated in the forums and just to be sure I also got in touch with a Microsoft agent via the live chat and we did some digging and everything seem to fine, i just had to update my windows which took quite a while, And unfortunately even after that it didn't work. I tried to install the extension again but still no luck

TIG · 17 Jan 2021, 16:23

You could try manually installing the RBZ's contents in case that sidesteps the 'blocking' issue with the RBZ itself.
Follow these steps carefully...
Close SketchUp.
Open your Plugins folder and find the file named Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb and the matching named folder Fredo6_!LibFredo6
Delete that file and folder.

You might not have your folder options 'optimized', so do the following...
In and Windows Explorer window [like the one you used to look inside the Plugins folder]...
Choose the View tab in the top-bar.
On the right-hand side is a drop-down named ' Options'.
Choose ' change folder and search options'.
A dialog opens named ' Folder Options'.
Choose its ' View' tab.
There's a list of options with check-boxes.
Near the bottom of the first page is ' Hide extensions for known file types'.
Make sure that this check-box is NOT ticked.
Click OK.

Find your downloaded RBZ file LibFredo6_v11.5a.rbz
In Windows Explorer you should see it with its file-type extension .rbz
Select the name and wipe to select the file-type suffix.
Rename it LibFredo6_v11.5a.zip
You will be warned about renaming files, but do it anyway.

Open the renamed 'zip' file.
In it you will see a file named Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb and the matching named folder Fredo6_!LibFredo6
Select both of these and drag-and-drop them into your Plugins folder.

This is doing manually what the Extension Manager > Install... should do automatically for you !

Restart SketchUp and look in the Extension Manager dialog, does LibFredo load and appear with the correct version etc ??

Fredo6

Just a note. I had checked and updated all of your plugins on my 2021 SKP last Friday. The plugin, LibFredo6 was 11.4f and your check plugins Fredo Tools indicated that 11.4f was the correct version. This morning, I find there is an update, 11.5a. So I opened Ver 2021, used your Fredo Tools and still 11.4f was indicated as the correct version.

I installed version 11.5a. Now Fredo Tools was still 11.4f. Shut down ver 2021, reopened, and went to Fredo Tools. Now it indicated that I had ver 11.5a.

Everything else seems to be working. Just informing you what happened. Could be it takes some time to get all the info correct.

Hey TIG,

I tried that as well, and I don't know why it's still showing me as version 1.0 for some reason. followed exactly as you said without a hustle and still dosen't seem to catch the new version and it's still showing version 1.0

find the attachment below.

So manually installing the RBZ's contents failed to improve things !

Perhaps Fredo has some more ideas about his 'hidden-settings' files which could be changed or deleted to try to reset things ?

e.g. the subfolder C:\Users\Afara\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir
Could you check that its Properties > Security permissions are all ticked as 'full' [as you did for somethings earlier]

Alternatively, the whole folder could be deleted and all of its saved data removed...
BUT please wait for Fredo to comment on this before this drastic step...........

Hey guys i came to know the problem, so out of curiosity what i did is that i created a new user account and i tried Libfredo and worked flawlessly so which indicates that i am having some issues with the current user account and it's attributes. So I am going to fix it asap. Actually i am in the midst of it.. as it's denying my access to apply the attributes so waiting for agent to help me out with that

Aiden900 · 18 Jan 2021, 01:43

Okay SO i took screenshots of my sketchup and the file properties from the new user account i created and i must say without any troubles the plugins were installed and everything was working very smooth,

how ever since most of my work is here on my regular account and i have my own setup i still can't get to work here. And i've been waiting for almost 6 hours and i haven't had any help from the MS agents, Still waiting though, Attaching screenshots. If any suggestions or fix do come up, let me know.

Kind regards
A.F

As TIG indicated, you may try to tick the Unblock checkbox.

Oi! Alguem poderia me ajudar?
Fui usar o plugin e atestou como desatualizado.

Atualizei as versões, instalei na ordem certa e agora está falando que tenho que comprar! O que eu posso fazer?

Hi! Can anybody help me?
I went to use the plugin and attested it as outdated.

I updated the versions, installed it in the right order and now it's saying that I have to buy! What can I do?

The subject of this thread is "LibFredo", which is a free set of helper tools needed by Fredo's extensions.
So what was the actual 'plugin' you were trying to install / use ?

Please note that recently Fredo has decided to sell licenses for a few of his excellent extensions [with a time-limited trial-period].
If you post relates to one of those, then you will need to buy a license - it's an inexpensive and perpetual set up.

So please explain your problem better, so that we can advise you better...
