Cant install many addons at 8.1.0

Alonzz02 · August 18, 2017 at 4:23 PM

I'm not sure this is the place in which I'm supposed to be asking this, but I just installed beta 8.1.0 and it tried installing some addons and repos and I keep getting:

"Failed to install Add-on from zip file: zip failed due to an invalid structure"

Any suggestions...? Thanks

Which ones are those? if some addons/repos don't work, we'll need to verify that.

From a zip file I suppose they are third party and do not contain addons built for 8.2.

I usually see this PEBKAC error when people visit GitHub and download things using the "save as zip" function; which gives them a zipped copy of the GitHub repo which is not the same thing as the zipped add-on they were hoping for.

For further help you will need to specify the add-ons and state where you obtain the files from.
