We should probably put that front and center on some sort of plugin FAQ should one ever emerge.
Glad you got it working though!  |
Thanks, it was your confirmation that you had it working on XP with the Legacy version that led me to go back to basics and "undo" my file renaming after examining the zips contents.
I often rename downloaded zips that have a "generic" name like "update.zip" so I can identify them later amongst all the others with a similar name lurking on my HDD. This is the first time it has caused a problem.
With the best will in the world, even if there had been a FAQ it would probably have concentrated on "what to do" not "what NOT to do"; it's difficult to foresee all the ways that users will misuse your carefully crafted and tested program until they do it
