In fact, I just tried to install Skip the Fade again. Next to the "Install" tab, where you have the option of "Select DAZIPS" (which I always use to select the Skip the Fade.dazip" on the desktop) and "Install Selected" (which I keep doing for Skip the Fade), there is a "Log" tab. I copy-pasted the daupdater log.
Here is what the default looked like last time I looked.

This is what it looked like a minute later, when I tried to (yet again) install Skip the Fade.

I'm not savvy enough with computers to understand. Is there something here that I missed?
