FWIW, there's also a version test in Fredo6_RoundCorner.rb (v3.3a):

if Sketchup.version.to_i < 16

that should be changed to '<= 16'...

@Fredo FYI
I tried installing FredoCorner v1.8b which lists the only dependency as LibFredo6 9.1b (archive legacy ver I have installed is 9.5k) but it complains that SU2017 or newer is required. The 'More Info' page says it should work for SU2016 and above...

Cheers,
Chris.

What is your "plugins location"? What version of SketchUp are you using? Please complete your profile.

Plugin folder:

c:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins

So you can see the Sketchup version is 2016.

The permissions on the ../Appdata/.. tree of directories is 'Full Control' for 3 users:

SYSTEM
Chris (me - member of Users and Administrators)
Administrators

So I can't imagine that Sketchup should have any problems with accessing the plugins folder - it never has in the past 4 years & it's running on the same PC for all that time.

I'll try applying the updated build Fredo mentions below.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Update:
Installing the updated plugin (via sketchucation Plugin Store extension) still results in the dialog "Wrong installation..." per my previous reply. I can see the Fredo6_!LibFredo6 folder and associated Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb file is present in the plugins directory.

@Fredo, I have nothing in Appdata/local/temp with "Fredo" in it's name but cleared all anyway with no difference in result. BTW, can you pls explain how to get the error log example quoted in your reply?

Thx.

I think I found the issue: The line below in Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb

file_encrypted = (Sketchup.version.to_i >= 16) ? folder + ".rbe" ; folder + ".rbs"

selects the .rbe file which doesn't exist - the .rbs file does. Changing the version test to >=17 solved the problem.

Thanks everyone for your attention to the issue.

Hi,

Since the 4.0a release I get an error when starting Sketchup (screenshot attached).

All other updates have been fine...

Please note that I do not support evolution for my plugins for versions prior to SU2017 (so up to SU2016). This is due to a change of policy in the releasing of extension by Trimble.

For convenience, I kept the legacy versions in this place.

Thanks, I was hoping to get a link to the prior version - much appreciated.

Ok, I've now installed LibFredo v9.5k from the Sketchucation store which says it's OK for SU versions up to 2016. When Skethcup restarts, I get a dialog saying:

"This legacy version of LibFredo6 can ONLY be used for Sketchup version prior to SU2016"

This implies: new LibFredo only for SU >=2017
legacy LibFrdeo only for SU <= 2015

No provision for SU2016?!?

I look in Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb and see one of the first the lines is:

if Sketchup.version.to_i < 16

Thinking this was a typo I edited it to test for '< 17' and now the result is:

"Wrong installation: Folder Fredo6_!LibFredo6 is missing in <my plugins location>"

I can confirm the folder is present in the location that it's complaining about.

I'm not sure what's going on here - any help appreciated.
