I can’t update or install any plugins, through the plugin manager.
Downloading and unpacking without problems, but installation does not occur.
Even after turning off the antivirus. (((

I had the issue with RC1, but with RC2 it works for me.

Artur Harison

Now I also found out that he does not remove the installed plugins.
But before that everything worked (old version).

Can anyone-else reproduce this issue?

Shridhar Kumar

It’s strange to see:

Command Line : $COMMAND_LINE_PLACEHOLDER$

in the DebugInfo strings in two posts. One is on Windows 10. The 2nd one is on Windows 11. This is a bug and it should not be happening.

But I am unable to replicate this in a full install (64-bit) as well as portable installs for both 32-bit & 64-bit. Anyone else?

Shridhar Kumar

OK. I 've found the path.

That placeholder string is not visible in the DebugInfo dialog.
It is also not in the copied text when you press CTRL+C to copy the string.

But it is there in the copied text only when you click the Copy debug info into clipboard hyperlink in the dialog. That needs to be fixed.

Just to clarify, since I didn’t say it before, for me, on Windows 7 x64 with the portable version, PluginsAdmin works as expected.
