Hi DNSB, Thanks for your help.
It didn't go as smoothly as I expected because the code you wrote didn't work for me. However, I managed to install it using some of it.
First, I changed the name of the directory on my desktop to "test" as I was trying to follow your steps but kept having errors like this one:
PS C:\Users\ben_s> C:\Users\ben_s\desktop\test> ./install.ps1
C:\Users\ben_s\desktop\test>: The term 'C:\Users\ben_s\desktop\test>' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I wasn't using PowerShell correctly so I googled about paths in PowerShell and read instructions on this page:
https://www.koenig-solutions.com/blo...owershell-path
"Using the Path in PowerShell Commands
Once you understand the concept of the path in PowerShell, you can start using it in your commands to navigate and manipulate files and folders. Here are a few examples of how to use the path in PowerShell commands"
In the part that says:
1. Changing the Working Directory
To change the current working directory to a specific path, use the Set-Location (or its alias, cd) command followed by the path:
Set-Location C:\Users\Username\Documents
Where "Username" is one's user name and "Documents" the directory where the files are, for me "Desktop\test"
So, using your tip about the "./", I wrote in PowerShell:
PS C:\Users\ben_s\Desktop> Set-Location C:\Users\ben_s\Desktop\test
PS C:\Users\user\desktop\test> ./install.ps1
Couldn't find a Kobo eReader volume! Is one actually mounted?
* Nothing to do! Press Enter to exit:
The same message you received! I was getting close!
Then, I restarted my Kobo Clara BW, connected to my PC and clicked on connect on the Kobo, and in the Powershell window I tried again using the up key to automatically write the same line.
PS C:\Users\user\desktop\test> ./install.ps1
* Here are the available packages:
0: OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2024.11.zip
It was working!
* Enter the number corresponding to the one you want to install:
OK, so I guessed it was "0", as you said in your post and the available package message above.
Then I got:
* Preventing Nickel from scanning hidden directories . . .
Which, I guess it prevented some errors related to the 4th point in the first message of the thread "NOTE: On FW >= 4.17, you'll need to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders." But I can't be sure if it's the case...
* Installing OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2024.11.zip . . .
* Installation successful!
Amazing! Crossing my fingers...
* Please make sure to unplug your device safely!
Press Enter to exit:
I pressed "enter" ejected the Kobo in the Windows taskbar and restarted my Kobo.
Now I have this:

It worked didn't it?
So,
For people who have the same problem as me, here is what I did:
* On Windows 11 24H2 with a Kobo Clara BW:
* IMPORTANT: all credits go to NiLuJe (OP) and DNSB, who helped me. I just explain what worked for me in case it can help other people.
0. With your Kobo unplugged from your PC, do as follow:
1. Create a folder on the destop and call it "test" (to make it simple)
2. Download the .zip package you want in post 1. For me it was: "KOReader AND Plato | OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2024.11.zip | 2024-Nov-26 21:05:27 | 64.2M | c236feca94024f21d0726318b5a18bdc | KFMon"
3. Right-click on the windows script link in the point 2 of post 2 and "save as" it is on your PC. Don't change the name.
4. Move both the .zip package and install files you just downloaded into the "test" folder you created on your desktop.
5. right-click on the install file, properties, "unblock" the script to allow it to run, in the bottom-right corner, as in the picture in post 2.
6. In the finder of Windows type PowerShell and run it.
(you can download the version 7.4 there:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/po...thmaure#winget)
7. Type after the line : PS C:\Users\username\Desktop>
Set-Location C:\Users\username\Desktop\test (where you should change the word username to your windows user name) and press enter
8. type:./install.ps1 after C:\Users\username\Desktop\test>
it should look like: PS C:\Users\username\Desktop\test>./install.ps1
You will get the following message:
Couldn't find a Kobo eReader volume! Is one actually mounted?
* Nothing to do! Press Enter to exit:
Press enter. Do not close the PowerShell window.
9. Reboot your Kobo, plug it and connect it to your pc pressing connect on the Kobo.
10. Go back to the PowerShell window, press the UP arrow on your PC keyboard. You should get:
PS C:\Users\username\Desktop\test> ./install.ps1
(as it was the last command you entered)
11. Press enter.
You will then get the following messages:
* Here are the available packages:
0: OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2024.11.zip
* Enter the number corresponding to the one you want to install:
12. Press the number 0 key (not the letter O)
13. You will get the following:
* Preventing Nickel from scanning hidden directories . . .
* Installing OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2024.11.zip . . . (wait while the bar is filling)
* Installation successful!
* Please make sure to unplug your device safely!
Press Enter to exit:
14. Press enter
15. Go to the right of your taskbar ^ and eject the Kobo from the ^ USB options
16. Restart your Kobo
17. Once restarted, you should have kfmon, koreader and plato in the my book dir like in these pictures:

That's all folks! Hopefully it works for you as it did for me.
