Might not be the place for this, but I see no button in the bugs area to add a post. I'm not a developer or programmer, so forgive me for asking a question.


downloaded Writer region files, and put them in the plugins folder. [unless I missed them, there are no instructions with the download as to where to put them]
When I bring up Smath, I get the following error


Assuming the pic didn't upload, the error says this:
"The following plug ins cannot be started. Please update or remove them, otherwise plug ins will be automatically disabled"

WriterRegion.dll
GUID;34001943-fc64-4578-9c39-330263ca0424
Method'get_MenuItems' in type
"WriterRegion.WriterImplementer'frmo assembly

etc.

There aren't any instructions with the download as to where to put the files, so I assume I put them in the right place.

My install of Smath is only a couple of days old.

It is one of the correct places, don't worry

The expected procedure to install the plug-ins is through the built-in extensions manager (launch SMath Studio, and go to Tools > Plugins... > Online Gallery (top-right button)); please remove any file you have created manually and try in this way.

About manual install (that should be avoided if not strictly required):

• Plugins folder in the installation directory is just for built-in plug-ins;
  
• downloaded plug-ins are stored in %APPDATA%\SMath\extensions\plugins\{PLUGIN_GUID}\{PLUGIN_VERSION}; next to this folder a config.{SMATH_VERSION}.ini file contains infos about which version of the plugin should be loaded and if it is enabled/disabled

For specific questions about this plugin in particular (and documentation too) you can look in the dedicated topic.

thanks! That worked. I came to the plugin via a websearch, and it only had a download link. If I had come through the wiki, it clearly showed how to do this; my bad.

Good...

marked as solved.
