what should i do i do have redownloaded it but nothing
This is odd. These are SketchUpās own extensions and loads just fine for millions of users.
What SU version are you using? How long have you been using it? Have you always had this issue? If not, when did it start?
what do you mean su version where can i find this
also i did had it from the begining
I faintly remember reading about a similar issue that was due to not installing SketchUp correctly on Windows. Did you install by logging in as your normal user (not Administrator), right-clicking the installer and choosing āRun as Administratorā from the menu? If not and you can find the installer, you can fix things by do the above and choosing ārepairā from the options offered by the installer.

I have the same problem since last night. Iām using Sketchup for more than 10 years and this is the first time of this annoying problem!
I did the recommendations above and didnāt work.

I have a very similar issue today. Any fix for this at all? Trying the repair function when running as administrator hasnāt worked.
What error message are you getting exactly?
Does the error look something like this?

Because Iām having the same issue. Somehow it doesnāt appear to affect anything but itās annoying.
And Iāve installed correctly and even did the ārepairā also. So Iāll be following this thread for a solution.
@c_j_ryan have you tried updating Antons AMS lib and Msphysics?
2 Likes
No, but I will.
Or Iāll remove it from my extensions as I hardly ever use it.
Thankās for the tip Box.
It turns out that MSPhysics and the Lib files were up to date, I uninstalled them, restarted SU and still got the error messages. This seems to be a carry-over from a post I made a month or so ago about āinvalid pathsā that I was never able to resolve. Iām going to re-open that, so I donāt hi-jack this thread.
Thanks though.
Any solution to this?
I donāt think that MSPhysics has be reworked to suit v2019, so you will get error messages when it tries to load the compiled code.
You need to uninstall it from v2019, and the ams_Lib stuff etc to clean upā¦
Iām having similar errors.

Everything have worked fine in SketchUp Pro 2017, 2018 and 2019 until last few windows 10 updates (canāt think any other reason). Besides these errors I canāt install new extensions (.rbz) to any of these SU versions. This is not related only these two plugins, several others give also same error.
I have been trying to install as admin, run as admin etc. previously provided solutions. No solution so far. @TIG I have tried some of your methods from this and sketchucation-forum - unfortunately these havenāt worked for me so far.
I canāt install rbz-files from store or from files in 2017, 2018 or form 2019. Strange behaviour since everything worked just fine few Windows updates ago.
I just wanted to tell about my situation in hope that might help someone to find answer.
In your final paragraph you list various ātriesāā¦ but none that actually say the correct methodā¦
Can I suggest that you āRepairā your three SketchUp installations as followsā¦
Whilst logged into Windows as your normal user-account [whether or not this has some admin-powers is of no importance], ensure SketchUp is closed.
Now find the appropriate SketchUp installerās exe file - probably in your Downloads folder ?
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > āRun as administratorā
When prompted choose āRepairā.
Installing in any other way will cause permission issues with files and folders.
So never double-click an installerās exe file to āRunā it, itās not the same - even if you have some admin-powers.
If you have previously messed around with the SketchUp.exe file in the Programs subfolder check to see that its Properties > Compatibility is NOT set to always āRun this program as an administratorā - which in itself will cause issues, e.g. when its elevated permissions will clash with Windows Explorerās lesser powers - e.g. blocking drag-n-drop functionalityā¦
You could then also try reinstalling the problem extensions from their RBZ files, in case their files/subfolders etc have skewed permissions resulting from earlier installation errorsā¦

That last sentence in @TIG s commentā¦ Few things to note. I have SketchUp Pro 2017, 2018 and 2019 installed on my system. All these have been working properly until few weeks ago. All of them stopped working at same time. There were no new installations or updates to any of these SketchUp versions. There werenāt also any plugin installations or updates to them that matter. All Installations and usage of the programs have been done with admin rights. There isnāt also no permission issues with user or relating folders.
After these errors I followed yours and few others repair instructions without success.
Luckily I have opinion to use SketchUp Pro 2019 in other computers so I have time to wait answer. Only downside is that I canāt install 2017 or 2018 versions to other computers and so I lose many plugins that work properly only with these versions.
How ever Iām very interested to find out what prevents loading or installing RBZ files in all these SketchUp versions.

Could be a Windows update which has compromised user-permissions on SketchUpās files and folders, or your user-files/folders - e.g. Pluginsā¦
As you do have a working PC and a troublesome one, can I suggest that you get Properties > Security for the Plugins folder on both PCs and compare the settingsā¦
Typical path is:
C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp NNNN\SketchUp\Plugins
NNNN will be the SketchUp version - e.g. 2019
[this folder is hidden by default, but accessible if full path is pasted into a Windows Explorer dialog]
āFullā is typically set for all permissions for all those accessing that folderā¦
PS: Also check this folder:
C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
In case Windows is over zealously sidelining filesā¦
@TIG Thank you for quick answer.
I have already previously checked Appdata\Roaming\SketchUp XXXX permissions in my SkechUp versions. In all computers that I use I cross checked permissions and settings are same, nothing to fix there. VirtualStore -folder permissions are also in order.
Even though the error messages show pathstrings with forward slashes, sometimes ābehind the scenesā backslashes get used in the paths instead, which can lead to issues as Ruby sees backslash and itās following character(s) as an special escape sequence.
Weāve had numerous issues recently especially with pathstring that contain a "\u" (which is a escaped unicode character) ā¦ ie ā¦ if the āUā in āusersā is lowercase in a path ā¦
"C:\users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp"
ā¦ has no problem used in Windows FileExplorer address bar, but Ruby double quoted string interpolation sees the "\u" as the start of a unicode escape and would case a SyntaxError (which if suppressed,) a string that does not point at a valid file location.
@jpvikholm What character does you username begin with ? If it is one of a special few characters such as ārā, ānā, āuā etc. this can cause issues in pathstrings that use backslashes.
@TIG I also see a weirdness in the use of "\cm" as begins the Cadmanās filenames, ie ā¦
filepath = "Somepath\SomeFolder\cm_circum4.rbe"
#=> SomepathSomeFolder
#=> _circum4.rbe
filepath.inspect
#=> "SomepathSomeFolder\r_circum4.rbe"
The escape sequence "\cm" is transcoded to "\r" which is carriage return.
@DanRAthbun Greetings. My username is āJukka-Pekka Vikholmā. As mentioned this havenāt caused problems previously. I will create new account to this computer, test SketchUp installation and get back in few moments.
