I am using Windows 11 (23H2) and have been successfully using successive versions of 5.1, then 5.2. I am trying to upgrade to 6.0.0 (and now 6.0.1). Using the same process I have always used, I install with all default values. My installation appears to be successful, but when I open Gramps it does not show the theme I was using in 5.2 (Adwaita/dark). It then asks to install Addons. I select all. The download and install appear to work, except that I get an error indicating ‘The following addons had errors’ and then listing what appears to be all of them. There is no indication of what these errors are. I note that my Family Trees are visible, but obviously, I can’t go any further. What could be happening here? Thanks ![Screenshot Gramps 6.0 Addon Install errors](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/e/ea0d938952266501072a2d124d0ce0bc14daf6fa.png) ---

Start [Gramps AIO from the console](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line#MS_Windows) and recreate the error then copy the output in console here please. ---

I think you are trying to load the 5.2 plugins on a 6.0 system. You will have to download the 6.0 versions using the [Addon Manager](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#addon). (Delete the gramps/gramps60/plugins folder first. You want to start fresh.) Be certain to double-check the “Projects” tab to make certain that all of them have the 6.0 URLs. (There is [another posting](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/curated-addon-collections/7170) with a list of the collections outside of the Gramps-Project.) For example, the following examples are curated 5.2 addon collection “projects” and, while the addons would download, they could not run on Gramps 6.x: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/c/c93490e31602bbff99b94f83bca48527274e3470.png) ---

Although you can resolve this problem, with the correct Project settings. Better warnings and it should not install the wrong target version addons. So a bug report has been filed. (I was certain one had been reported previously. But cannot find it. So re-filed.) - [0013789](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=13789): [Addon Manager] incompatible Addons are listed for installation ---

Many thanks, Brian (and Gioto). All sorted once I corrected the URL in the Project tab of the Addons manager. It was set to 5.2. Resetting the defaults did that for me. I installed most of the addons, and my dark theme popped back in as soon as I installed the Theme Preferences addon (no surprise, I guess). Thanks John ---
