Install and Upgrade 1.1.7 Patch Level 1

No permission to download

Reviews 3.50 star(s) 6 reviews

Their support system aka "Intercom" is borken. I have submitted tickets to their system for the last 6 months and they dissapear into the eather. AVOID.
Support is non existent.
At the moment there is still far too little support from other developers, the comparatively time-consuming initial setup and error messages.
In addition only a handful of developers and without sizes like AndyB, AddonLabs, XFA, XT etc. the addon makes no sense to me. It's a shame - if something should change in the support from other developers, I'll be happy to correct my rating upwards, but currently only 3 stars are there.
Edit:
Half a star less for using checkout codes to sell for free instead of offering straight away for free with no code nonsense.
I love it. It works perfectly and is light-years ahead of the XF 1.x equivalent. Adding support for multiple sources is an excellent bonus. I'll admit I had a few hiccups setting it up, but once I figured everything out the only complaint I have is a few possible errors you could handle better.

For example, right now, if you try to install an addon from an XF resource page, but the "download" button links to an off-site source, the plugin dumps a stack trace and just says "oops." It'd be nice to see a coherent error message instead of a stack trace, possibly with the stack trace in a collapsed div for those of us more advanced users who like fiddling with things!

So glad to hear that you are enjoying the add-on. Much appreciate the feedback as well, we have some awesome updates that will be released soon for Install & Upgrade! Be sure to watch out for them and let us know if you find any other issues ;)
I like that this has made for XF2 but it feels little sketcy that it askes your Xenforo lisence account. Email, password and everything...

Hey there, we understand your concerns and want to stress that we do everything to protect your information. The reason that Install and Upgrade requires your account information is so that it can automatically authenticate your licenses and manage your updates and installs with one click. If you don't want to use Install and Upgrade, you don't have to, but the manual process takes a little more leg work. Hope this clarifies everything!
Superb work done b you, I am looking for this as I used same in XF1 by @Chris D and I am hoping the same for XF2 since a while, You done really a great job. Appreciated.
