There is a small bug on add-on installation page when installing add-on that has checkRequirements() function.
If add-on throws error or warning, XenForo shows that error/warning. However if issue is fixed, clicking "Install" button again will still show old error/warning instead of running checkRequirements() again.
I think this is caused by AJAX implementation. It remembers old cached page, so it doesn't retrieve page again on second click.
It might be confusing to users. For example if add-on requires specific file or directory to be writable, after changing access mode via FTP user is unlikely to refresh admin page, he's likely to click "Install" again and receive old message, which would result in user incorrectly thinking that chmod failed.
