Activation Error: ImageAreaSelect plugin is missing or it is not installed properly [#1210984]

Hello,

I am unable to activate this module due to the error about imgAreaSelect:

'ImageAreaSelect plugin is missing or it is not installed properly. Please refer the README.TXT for instructions (Currently using PdfStamper ImageAreaSelect Missing)'

I have tried with no success to create a symlink in Windows 7.

Also the imgAreaSelect version available for download now is 0.9.8 but the installation instructions point to 0.6.1.
it seems the paths are not the same.

Before trying to install this module, I never heard of symlink and just don't know how to solve the issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

The newest version available will work for the pdftsamper module.
After you download the plugin and extract extract the zip file (in the location given in the readme files), a folder named "jquery.imgareaselect-0.9.8" will be created. Inside the folder, you will be able to see a "scripts" folder.
Locate the file "jquery.imgareaselect.min.js", inside the "scripts" folder. (jquery.imgareaselect-0.9.8\scripts\query.imgareaselect.min.js)
For the above issue, a simpler way would be to copy the file and paste it where the file "pdfstamper.js" is present (two directory levels up). Rename the file as "jquery.imgareaselect.js".

The files in your js folder should now contain the following:
jquery.imgareaselect-0.9.8(folder)
jquery.imgareaselect.js
pdfstamper.js

For creating symlinks in Windows, you can use the tools available to do so (just search for: create symlinks Windows 7).
