Short description of error
I have error:
https://github.com/machin3io/MACHIN3tools
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I trying install the addon by .zip but error.
Then I try to change Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.0\scripts\addons\MACHIN3tools-0.8 to MACHIN3tools and working.
This mind that blender not accepting the 0.8
I meet this problem from blender 2.92 time ago and next versions.

Dots separate python modules, hence they are not permitted in the directory/module names. See also patches D12071 and D9731 that were rejected for this reason.
What is final solution for this? Maybe the best is to change in Roaming dot . for _ while files are instaled ?
@ManBlender The developer needs to create the zip file properly and not rely on the auto-generated zip that GitHub creates for releases. In this particular case, you can either create the zip file with proper naming yourself or download it from the officially advertised sources where the developer publishes the add-on (see documentation ).
Strange.. coz if addon is github, and exist some version with dots.. what thats mind? Author under tests not meet problems? Or this only on windows not linux?
It's looks like impossible for authors to not meet this problems. Also why the still using dots in repo? Thats intresting. I always renaming these files and code around coz sometimes subdirs also have dots.
@ManBlender When you tag a release on GitHub, it automatically creates a zip file where the top directory has the version number appended (the version number contains dots). Since the places you are supposed to download/buy this particular add-on are blendermarket and gumroad (see the linked documentation), the developer likely didn't think it was necessary to provide a ready-to-use zip file on GitHub.
