Thanks,. The first option worked for me.
I can’t even open the addon to check the log, because the error appears there too! What can I do?
1st option did not work, installed log viewer and still get the same error message there.
Ya, I get the error notice appears here as well. No help al all..
It will not get out of “install” that was supposed to be a few seconds. What next?
I’m finding that so many of these fixes do not work.
None of this site’s “fixes” ever work. Adios!
