Can't enable installed latest version of niftools [0.1.0]

[Candoran2]

After you removed the old version, did you close and reopen Blender?

I have also received errors with trying to install the latest version of niftools on Blender 3.2.2, 2.93, and 3.6.4. I did close and reopen Blender with every different version used, but it returns the same addon_utils.py error that fronczek7f is getting.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/scott/Downloads/blender-3.2.2-linux-x64/3.2/scripts/modules/addon_utils.py", line 335, in enable
    mod = __import__(module_name)
  File "/home/scott/.config/blender/3.2/scripts/addons/io_scene_niftools\__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
    from io_scene_niftools import addon_updater_ops
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'io_scene_niftools'

Every module is referred to as a "fake module" when running Blender from the terminal. I can confirm this is not a result of older versions of Blender getting in the way of this addon, as I did not have previous versions of Blender installed. This is not acceptable.

That looks like the error for #584 , which is caused when using 0.1.0 on linux (and probably MacOS as well). The issue with that was it used backwards path separators in the zip and they couldn't handle it. It has since been fixed.

If you want to, you can try to fix it yourself on the release, but I've posted a version of the addon with forward path separators in that issue: blender_niftools_addon-v0.1.1-2023-08-04-09536eaa.zip

Thank you @Candoran2 for pointing that out. I will look into that thread.

[Candoran2]

Did the new release fix your issue?

[2kdragons]

I was having the same problem and the updated version did not fix it. I got this error message now.

Niftools uses the most recent update of blender, right?

Yes, so not 2.78 like in your picture. The current release should be compatible with 2.8 or above.
