Tim,
Fredo uses a "general" script to help his other plugins. You also need to download it. In his post for the FredoScale plugin he says:

It requires you have LibFredo6 3.1f installed. See that post at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17947#p144178...Please, download and install that helper plugin, too (it will be needed for many others of his plugins anyway).

Yes, that's the second one I mentioned in the above post,the libfreedo 6 thingy, it's on there.

I unzipped it (whatever that means) and put it in the plugin folder along with the second one that goes with it.
You have to unzip directly in the plugins folder. Do not move the files after unziping somewhere else. That's why the script does not find the ZLoader__FredoScale.rb

I have done what you describe, I think. I put the un zipped folder in plugins, extracted all files, still get the same message when I launch SU.

OK, now I'm really confused. I've reloaded both plugins to my desktop. I've been advised to open directly in my plugin folder. Yet the link I went to to download the plugin says "Download that and open it. Then copy the contents into your C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\ folder. (that is assuming you are using Windows XP. Vista". What am I missing ? I plan to delete the previous plugins from my plugin folders and then do what I need to with the new downloads sitting zipped on my desktop.I need a play by play picture to go by, as I've tried to do this several ways and still end up with the same error message when I launch.Is this what Mac users say is a PC thing? It sure gets frustrating, feel like a bind man driving a car .

think of a zip file as a suitcase.. it's one package that you can put a lot of things in and carry as one.. otherwise, you'll have to download/transport all of your socks/shirts/etc separately..
here are the direct links to the zips you need (2 separate zips) --
LibFredo 3.4b.zip:

http://forums.sketchucation.com/download/file.php?id=27660you can unzip on your desktop and move the files into your plugin folder (and i actually suggest doing this just so you can understand what's happening)
when you unzip LibFredo3.4b, you will have two items:
a folder named LIBFREDO6_Dir_34
a file named LibFredo6.rbwhen you unzip FredoScale 2.0g, you will have two items:
a folder named FREDOSCALE_Dir_20
a file named ZLoader__FredoScale.rbtake the 4 items that i've highlighted in red and move them to your sketchup plugins folder --C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\ -- relaunch sketchup and the plugin will be installed.
