Dream Clean-Up plugin installation

Question

Hi, I bought Dream Clean-Up plugin for Animate today. I'd like to point out that Animate and Creative Cloud App work on the lastest version.

So, I've spent the last 3 hours and more trying to install this plugin. In Adobe CCA plugin section Dream Clean-Up appears as "installed", however I don't find it in Animate. I also tried a manually installation with zxp installer, but nothing.

The plugin author's guide says: "If you are using Animate CS6 or higher: Open the .zxp file with WinZip, WinRar or any other archive opening programs...". I tried with both programs to open it, but this format seems unopenable. So any solution?

Hi there! We already spoke about this but I thought I would post here in case any others have a similar problem. I have just submitted an update to Adobe Exchange with an MXI manifest that ought to allow Exchange to place the files in the correct place and also stop the ZXP from getting corrupted. I'm not 100% sure what the problem was (but it was becoming a common one). Hopefully the update will get approved in the coming days and this issue will be ancient history. Thank you for reporting it!

If you can't reach the author or resolve the issue in another way, try the following:
change the extension of the ZXP file to .ZIP, then extract it using an archiving program like WinRAR or WinZip.
In the unpacked folder, there should be some kind of manifest in XML format, describing which file should be copied to which directory. I assume that the folders should be "Commands" and "Tools" in the configuration folder of Animate.
