Answer 1

I hope you are trying to install it by accessing the webstore from the CME and clicking Installand receiving the above error - This is a known issue already reported with the Alchemy team I guess.

Alternatively, you can visit the webstore in the browser and Downloadthe .a4t file - subsequently drag and drop the .a4t in the Alchemy in CME.

further, check if supported version of plug-in is lesser or equal to your Alchemy version

If you are still getting the error, try to clear the cache, reset IIS APP Pool, and reopen the browser with CME and repeat the above steps.

If it still does not resolve and gives error - Take a backup of all your plug-ins, Uninstall Alchemy, Re-Install Alchemy and try re-installing plug-ins - I hope this will resolve your issues.

Answer 2

If the log file can be trusted, it appears that you already have it installed:

If this is an older version, you should uninstall it first and then install the new version.
