Jack_mcs Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The first instruction says to install the database changes. Have you done that or is that where you are stuck?

Jack Maybe I downloaded the wrong thing. I got the top one which didn't come with instructions, I will go check again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 A problem with a lot of the contributions is that people take the easy way out and just upload one file or some short instruction. It has made a complete mess of the contributions section, in my opnion. So, unfortunately, you need to look for the last complete version before it will work on a new install.

Guest Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 i always look for the original author's latest submission, read their comments... then move on to read the next user's submission and their comments in order to decide which i need to install. (if it's only new features, i stick to the original author's latest submission. bug fixes are the only ones i'll download from a new author) i found many times, some of the add-ons are completely useless and bug up the store. gotta pay attention to what you download :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
