@theducks / sugarcandy243 (and Kovid) - that error you see is a bug/flaw in calibre. It occurs when you have a plugin already placed on a toolbar that failed to load at calibre startup (as is the case with the official version of this plugin at the moment). When you try to install the new version of the plugin, it triggers code which is looking to see what toolbars the plugin already exists on if any.

In this case it knows where the Generate Cover plugin is supposed to appear on a toolbar and that in turn is triggering it to attempt to load the plugin. And because the plugin failed to load at calibre startup of course it can't load it, and that is the error you see.

As theducks found, it is just a case of clicking ok, closing calibre and starting it again and it will be fine. That error is just preventing you from seeing the next message which would normally tell you to restart calibre. Perhaps Kovid will add some extra logic in to catch this scenario, though it won't help anyone already on 0.9.5 and stuck at the moment.
