I am using WUFI Passive 2.5.4.0 , Windows 7 , VMWare Fusion 7 and am trying to install the plugin for Sketchup. I follow the instructions in http://www.wufi-wiki.com/mediawiki/inde ... :Sketch-Up. I paste the link C:/Users/Robert Albano/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins into the form and then click "install Plugin"

I get the following message:

"This program must be ruined as administrator to install Plugin"

I am an administrator so I do not understand how to fix this.

Hello Robert,

even if your user account hast administrator rights, windows 7 prevent programs to copy files in other programs folders, like the sketchup plugin. You have to run WUFI Passive as administrator, so before starting it:

make a right click on WUFI Passive in the start menue, or on the desktop, where you start it usually and select: "Run as administrator".

Now install the plug in, your link to the sketchup plugin folder seems to be ok.

best regards,
Matthias
