  • Please check the error in Debugger -> Console and/or Network Tabs and update the question with that. To open debugger right click any where in the window and click 'inspect'.

  • Can you install any of the plug-ins from the web store? Maybe that particular plug-in was made for a previous version of Alchemy...

  • Check the server's Event Viewer for the actual error (could be in the Application log as warnings from ASP.NET).

  • Your edit indicates that it doesn't impersonate properly. What kind of authentication do you have configured for your Tridion CME?

I am guessing you are just trying to install a test/demo plugin to start with Alchemy.

I just tried to replicate the same error with the same versions, But it works fine for me.

What I did:

  1. Download the Developer pack from visual studio gallery.
  2. Create a demo project selecting "Starter Plugin Project" template.
  3. Build the project (without any changes) and navigate to the generated .a4t file.
  4. Drag and drop the file in alchemy window.

Please try above and check if there is still an error.

If you were not doing the same steps and setting the project with some other way/template. The first thing you needto make sure, that the project has "a4t.xml" file in it and at least has below configuration in it.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<plugin xmlns:c="http://www.alchemywebstore.com/configuration/definitions" xmlns="http://www.alchemywebstore.com/">
  <name>MypluginName</name>
  <description><![CDATA[]]>My Plugin description</description>
</plugin>

If the error is still there despite of having above, please check the error in browser debugger as I commented.

Hope it helps.

I had a similar issue and got around it by temporarily disabling Anonymous Authentication in my SDL Tridion site IIS. Once the plugin is installed, you should be able to re-enable the Anonymous Authentication.

anonymous authentication disabled
