Well, I did that (I'd forgotten that there was a php script used rather than the xml file - no wonder it did not appear in my list of products.)

Once I'd copied the script to the admin dir, I ran it, clicked on the uninstall and watched it go through all the steps successfully, telling me it was deleting all the bits properly on the way.

I then installed the product using the xml, but now it just seems to freeze somewhere between 50% and 98% (slightly different each time). It never gets far enough to give an error or to get complete.

It did complete (with the error) before I had done the uninstall of the old by re-uploading the php script from the old version (v0.9.12 ? vbspell_install.php). I know this because although it did not work , it still appeared in my list of products (I have since uninstalled it from there in my latest attempts).

Regardless of what I do now, the xml install just freezes at a different part with no error messages each time. When it freezes, there are no error messages, but the browser just says "done" instead of "loading" suddenly then it stops - eg:

Processing: 181912... (93%)
Processing: 184914... (95%)
Processing: 187820... (96%)
Processing: 190621... (98%)

Seems to me that I am completely stuck now and at the point of just giving up on it. A shame as this is the only real spell check for VB. I really wish it could be just built in and use AJAX to work to do funky things like automatically underlining words that it found wrong like modern apps do, but I would be happy with this if it just worked :tired: .
