I've upgraded my XMLmind package to the latest version.
I wanted to include my addon myconfig.zip to work with the new program. I
unzipped it and added
the resulting directory to the right place in the file system. In this case
it's a MacOS so that
place is XMLEditor/Contents/Resources/addon.
End-users are supposed to use "Options|Install Add-ons" to do this.
There is even a way to handle local .zip archives. See "Search add-ons
in this directory" in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/installAddonsOptions.html
Manual install of an add-on is very simple but also surprisingly error
prone (unzip in the wrong folder, forget to clear the cache, etc).
The exact procedure is explained here:
How to manually install an add-on -
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons.shtml#manual_install
Please follow *every* *step* of it (of course, including the "Important"
note) or it will not work at all.
For example, on the Mac the "system" addon/ folder is:
XMLEditor.app/Contents/Resources/xxe/addon/
When I open the application and get the above dialog box. Indeed there is not
file
.../addon/config/docbook/docbook_support.incl in the directory.
Looking back at my previous installation, I do in fact find such a file. So it
seems that my
addon depends upon the existence of a file which is no longer included in the
package. This
looks to be some sort of oversight.
I wrote you what follows a few weeks ago. It seems that either you
haven't ported your add-on to the latest XMLmind XML Editor "platform"
or you unzipped an old, obsolete, version of your add-on.
This is easy to check. If the unzipped myconfig.xxe does not contain
<include location="docbook-config:docbook.xxe" />
then what you installed is an obsolete add-on.
Another possibility is that you have an obsolete add-on installed
elsewhere, for example, in the "user" addon/ folder:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor6/addon/
and XMLmind XML Editor uses it because it didn't not see what you have
unzipped (e.g. you forgot to clear the cache).

You created your add-on more than two years ago. You cannot expect XMLmind XML Editor to
remain stable as a "platform" during two years.
You now need to review the implementation of your add-on and "port" it to the latest
XMLmind XML Editor "platform".
For example, in myconfig.xxe, please replace:
<include location="xxe-config:docbook/docbook_support.incl" />
by:
<include location="docbook-config:docbook.xxe" />
The fact that docbook_support.incl has been suppressed implies that we no longer recommend using
DocBook 4 as a base for creating custom configurations such as "Boost Book". On the other
hand, you'll still find a "docbook5-config:docbook5_support.incl".
