Hi everybody,
I've been using Calibre for a couple of months. Great piece of software. But when I try to install the "search the internet plugin" it just fails saying

Code:

calibre, version 0.7.50
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>ZipImportError</b>:not a Zip file

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\preferences\plugins.py", line 285, in add_plugin
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\preferences\plugins.py", line 355, in check_for_add_to_toolbars
  File "<string>", line 70, in load_actual_plugin
  File "<string>", line 50, in get_base_module
ZipImportError: not a Zip file

I use Calibre 0.7.50, plugin version is 1.5.1, windows xp sp3. I have already tried to reinstall Calibre, but that didn't help. Any ideas what can be wrong, please?

Thanks for your answers
