Hi: Just D/L's the captioned version (I did NOT have an earlier version installed), checked to see that I have MSVCP140 and CONCRT140 in my systems folders, opened blender selected INSTALL FROM FILE, navigated to the "cr_013_bl2_78_79_rel_a.zip" file and clicked on it (after, of course opening the "USER PREFERENCES". After I hit the "INSTALL FROM FILE", Crowrender shows up in the ADD-ON list but when I check the activate box I get this error:
===========================================

==================================
As I mentioned I have the latest version of "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015" installed.
What am I doing incorrectly?
On the positive side, Crowdrender installed on my MAC-Pro without a hitch.
Thanks

Hi Ron! Wow, well done for figuring that out! As for your question on removing the zmq folder, *deep breath*, ok, so normally if you are re-installing the blender application, you don't need to re-install the addons. The addons like ours that you install as extras (not the ones that come with blender) live in a different location and are meant to persist between blender installs.
You can delete the addons folder in your user\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\2.79\scripts folder if you like, and just reinstall all your addons if you feel more at ease doing it this way, but all this does is put back the files into the same location as they would have been.
One obversvation though, the msi installer put your files into a folder that had blender-2.79-windows64? was that in \AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\? If so, that is a bit odd. I'll have to try this myself! Normally I would expect the version of blender to just say 2.79 or 2.79.1
In any case, congratulations for getting this to work, if you hit any other issues, feel free to come back to the forum for help :D
