Install won't enable in blender 2.82

[mark-viatech]

Cloned the repo and zipped the coa_tools folder. It installs but will not activate. The error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.82\2.82\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 351, in enable
mod = import(module_name)

hi Mark,
Are you working with the 2.8 branch?
It is needed by Blender 2.8.

I had the same issue with the blender28 branch today. It works ok in 2.81 but 2.82a(downloaded today) throws the above error.

Hi Tj & Shannon

Yes using the 2.80 branch the install gives that error. I noticed that if I left the addon installed rather than removing it, and shut down Blender and reopened it the addon seemed to work OK. No idea what that means :)

Thank you mark! I was getting very frustrated searching for answers. Had the very same problem. But your suggestion worked: Install coa2.8, close/open Blender and then no error appears when enabling the COA-Tools checkbox!

Can confirm that closing and re-opening blender resolvers this issue, it seems that the python files / modules are not being recognized after installing.

not sure how this could be fix thought.
