Can't install any plugins on OctoPrint (Windows installation)

What is the problem?

When I try to install any plugin, i get the same error:

Installing plugin "Exclude Region" from https://github.com/bradcfisher/OctoPrint-ExcludeRegionPlugin/archive/master.zip...
c:\octoprint\venv\scripts\python.exe -m pip --disable-pip-version-check install 'file:///c:/users/ofispc~1/appdata/local/temp/tmpetq4ai/octoprint-excluderegionplugin-master.zip' --no-cache-dir
ERROR: Invalid requirement: "'file:///c:/users/ofispc~1/appdata/local/temp/tmpetq4ai/octoprint-excluderegionplugin-master.zip'"
Error!
Could not parse output from pip, see plugin_pluginmanager_console.log for generated output

What did you already try to solve it?

Tried to upgrade pip, no luck

You may have a look on this thread:

Okay, so I should just wait for the next release?
Any idea how often they are launching new releases?

You could run the maintenance branch from the OctoPrint repo (where it is patched), by checking out & installing the git repo. - but be warned, whilst it is maintained very stable, bugs & regressions can sneak in.

You can also install plugins manually from an external url, by activating the virtual environment then running the command that is listed on the plugin repository.

1.4.1/2 were released at the start of August, after 1.4.0 in March, but it would be down to @foosel as to when 1.5.0 would be released.

Hi... I'm "they"

not to add more to your already full plate but I wanna reask the question. Any idea when this will be released? I'm having a problem even getting the maintenance release to install to fix this issue

I tried this and CMD shows a successful install with no errors but octoprint (after restart) doesnt show anything for the plugin in manager or in the main ui. what am i missing?

When it's done. First RC hopefully next week.
