Oh F*** !!
On my display, There is no Gear
WHat there is: A small square box, in it are what look like icons of 3
paint bruches, middle one inverted,
and a drop-down arrow to the right of the small square box.
And I kept looking for a GEAR and a Search Box.
There is NO search box on my display :(
But the drop down arrowhead DOES show the install from file.
Thanx a lot.

reading what you replied to Joachim, you are not following instructions
posted by him or me.
when you click 'down arrow' next to 'gear', do you not see selection;
Install Add-on From File
if not, you might, tho i would think not, have 2 buggy versions.
in drop down menu on my version, the selection is 3 rd in a choice of 5.
