I have tried all of the things that dmore has, and have also had no success. I have the full version of Sketchup Pro 2017, but I didnāt install it until after the creator update for windows 10. Permissions are all good, all these things happen:
File.exist?("C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe")
true
Sketchup.load("C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe")
File load error (C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe): Failed to read RBE/RBS file.
false
Sketchup.load("C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader")
File load error (C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe): Failed to read RBE/RBS file.
false
File.readable?("C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe")
true
File.readable_real?("C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe")
true
Some plugins load just fine, but none of the ones starting with su_, and Iāve manually set the file permissions to be as permissive as possible to all users and administrators on that folder as well as the install folder (default location on C drive). Iām a software developer, and Iāve got the various latest versions of .NET and the C++ libraries, etc. I donāt know Ruby terribly well, though, and when I open the rbe files in notepad++ all I see is data thatās clearly serialized. So it seems to be having some sort of trouble deserializing, or otherwise causing an issue with executing whatever it finds inside.
I would suspect the .NET version 4.5.2 not being available on my machine as the culprit, since I have mainly 4.6 and so forth on there. However, I do have 4.5.2 Multi-Targeting Pack, and then the SDK for 4.6, 4.6.1, and 4.6.2. Along with multi-targeting packs for them (there are actually two per version ā ENU and nothing specified). Deserialization in .NET can be flaky if itās super version specific and actual objects are being serialized via automated methods versus by explicitly overriding the serialization methods and then just using simple types. I tend to roll my own serialization for that very reason.
A number of plugins work fine, though, like 1001 engineering, the 3D Connexion mouse driver, most everything by ThomThom, and a few other things.
Things that do NOT work, in addition to the default sketchup plugins that people are routinely having trouble with, is the demo of Profile Builder 2, the demo for playup tools, and the eneroth townhouse system beta.
I did install it as administrator originally, I have repaired it as administrator, Iāve uninstalled and reinstalled as administrator, I have not migrated from another computer or version of sketchup (although an expired version of 2016 pro trial was on this machine), I have manually verified all the permissions are fine in the install location and appdata/roaming location (used to be a network admin, I propagated the permissions down and all that jazz), and everything else I can think of. When deleted, the always-included files get added back.
I get the errors:
Error Loading File C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/su_advancedcameratools/actloader.rbe

Unless I disable them. Disabling them in any combination doesnāt seem to work, unless they are all disabled.
Unless thereās a third folder tree that might have permissions issues, to me it looks like a very specific version of .NET is required or else this thing goes bananas. And specifically, anyone who installs this after already having Visual Studio 2016 or the Windows 10 Creator Update installed is going to be locked out of these particular plugins. Unless thereās some other voodoo Iām missing.
