I have this and TMS installed, among a ton of other addons. No issues at all yet. Still using this addon to death. I honestly am already finding it hard to remember what it was like to install an addon before this beauty.
Chris, when I try to run a "check for updates now" getting this:

Nice work on the latest version. 
Is it possible to suggest a couple simple features? The first one I'd be interested in is having an option to automatically set the forum to maintenance mode before copying any files and when the cache rebuild is done, automatically turn the forum back to active.
Another thing I'd be interested in is when uploading zip files, an option to disregard the xml file. Maybe it wouldn't be too important for most users, but I'll often have an addon that has just made quick hot fixes with changes to just the php files and doesn't require rebuilding. If enabled, and an xml is present in the zip, it would be a good idea to read the xml and update the version_id and version_string in the xf_addon table in case it changed. With this option available, it might also be possible to use this as a quick way to upload anything to the forum root. Although depending on how you look at it, this could be good or bad. With a bit more tinkering maybe you could even use this addon to upgrade XF core too.
(heh, probably not, I imagine a bunch of file size too large, timeout, and other random errors)

Why would you want this?
I have considered doing something relating to preventing the cache rebuild / not importing the zip. Seems like a logical progression.Another thing I'd be interested in is when uploading zip files, an option to disregard the xml file.

With regards to uploading anything to the root, not a massive fan of the idea. I'll consider it though if there's enough demand.
And it's a definite no to upgrading the core
Don't want to go there! I might even be placing a block on uploading anything to default XF directories in terms of add-ons (why should an add-on ever need to copy stuff to the library/XenForo directory, for example?) but we will see.Hmm, now that you actually ask, it made me think.
It might just be me, but it's kind of a standard thing I do, before installing any addons I would put the board into maintenance and set it back to active when done, just to avoid any potential issues that could happen. This made me remember that I also was going to ask to automatically set the board to maintenance, but that's it, and I would manually set back to active myself. The reason is mostly due to doing a quick check for any obvious bugs or errors. I already do this on a development install of course, but live is always a different story. 
Since most people may not need this, it wouldn't make sense to create extra checkboxes that will clutter the view, maybe you could set an xf option for this in the admin settings to perform a specific action when installing/upgrading an addon. For example, by default, do nothing, another option to set maintenance on before installing and off upon completion, and another option to set maintenance on before installing, but would require the admin to turn it back off manually.
Cool, it would be useful indeed.
Yea, I just mentioned it for fun, like I said above, I could already imagine a bunch of issues.And it's a definite no to upgrading the core
Funny that you mention this, some addon developers who are not familiar with the framework and how to extend things might end up doing this. For example: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xf-qaptcha.41043/#post-446188 I suggested for them to change their code, but I'm not sure if they ever did... Well I suppose that is a good thing anyways, if people complain that an addon doesn't work through installing from the addon installer, in this case it will be that they did not code it well.
I think this add-on is great. However, the irony is, I can't figure out how to install IT correctly.
I unzipped the "upload" file directly into the root of my site using my hosting cpanel. The correct files went to their proper directories. Then I uploaded the xml file to my adminCp and it seemed to install, but when I went to a page, I got a nasty exception error that pretty much rendered my forum useless. I had to manually delete the plugin from my hosting cpanel in order to regain access to my admincp.
Now, the plugin is showing up as an add-on, but of course all of files are not there so I can't use it or delete it.
Can someone please give clear instructions on how to install this.

I apologise.
This is a known issue that I have fixed locally but not released here yet. Brogan is absolutely right.
Here's a post that should enable you to fix the problem (it requires a database change in PHP My Admin):
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/add-on-install-upgrade.35211/page-8#post-494810
Once you have made that change, re-upload the files and re-enable the add-on. That should work then.
Sorry.Chris, do you know what this error is about? Sorry to bump this up
One of the add-ons you have configured for updates apparently doesn't contain a version number.
The only real explanation for this is if you aren't using a Resource Manager URL or the add-on has been deleted...
Can you post a screenshot of the add-ons you have configured for updates?
Also, to help identify the specific add-on you could edit a file and run the check again.
In library/AddOnInstaller/Model/AddOn.php
Search for:
PHP:
$request = $client->request('GET');Replace with:
PHP:
$request = $client->request('GET');
Zend_Debug::dump($addOn['title']);When you get the error, there should be a plain text dump of a list of add-on names at the top of the page. The very last one is the one throwing this error.
I've written the links to the resource manager, not external ones or deleted resources.
Here are all the screenshots:

Doesn't have a version number. It is a "fileless" resource so you can't check for updates.
EDIT: And in my defence, this is a new feature of the RM rolled out last week so I will need to update my code to check for that

Yeap, I have unchecked it and it run through. Thanks Chris, after installing zip to my server, I'm enjoying this addon very much. Makes things very easy.
