Powerscripts Updater Troubleshooting

Below is a list of common problems when Installing PowerScripts.

When Creative Cloud updates Illustrator, it deletes the PowerScript files. You will need to run the PowerSciprts Updater again to reinstall or download the most recent PowerScripts updater from https://www.o2creative.co.nz/installer/ and reinstall PowerScripts.

You can download the latest version of PowerScripts Updater here https://www.o2creative.co.nz/installer/

If you encounter any issues then

• Open PowerScripts Updater
• Select Diagnostics from the menu
• Verify that you get a green PASS verifying PowerScripts is installed (See screenshot below)

If the quick diagnostic reports that PowerScripts is not installed (FAILED)

• Restart your computer
• Run the PowerScripts updater again, and try to reinstall PowerScirpts
• If the default installer fails, choose the “File Copy” installation method

If you can not get PowerScripts installed, create and send a Diagnostic Report

• Save the report to a file
• E-mail the report to support@o2creative.co.nz with a description of your problem, and if possible any screenshots of errors,

There are two reasons for this

• You do not have Illustrator 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020 or 2021, 2022 installed
• NOTE: PowerScripts is not compatible with CS6 or any earlier versions of illustrator.

When installing on windows you may get the error that the install program is from an unintended developer, As a small developer we are not registered with Miscrosft, and so Windows will display this warning as a precaution. You can safely continue the installation by clicking “More Info” and then [Run Anyway].
