Hi, I just had a chance to take a look at the file and can verify that the Gumroad installation file is correct and functional.

I would suggest re-downloading the file and installing again. The file may not have fully downloaded or may have become corrupted during download.

Methods to verify the installation file and installation within Blender can be found in this topic: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/Addon-Installation-Troubleshooting

Let us know if the issue has been solved or if the issue still persists.

Hi, Thanks,

I did a reinstall now and its working as intended. Not sure what was going on before, I had downloaded the file 2 times on my desktop and laptop. All good now though, thanks.
