Error when enabling addon on blender 2.83 about stop-motion-obj

Make sure you're downloading the right .zip file. You want to download the file in the release notes, not the "Source code (.zip)" file:

When I did the same thing in blender 2.82 it worked. (There were errors later but I’ll make an issue if they continue)

Did you make sure you're downloading the correct file? The ones labeled "Source code" are not the right files.

I had problems installing V 2.0.2 in Blender 2.83 from the zip file. After restarting Blender, Stop motion could be found in preferences but not in File > import
When I tried installing it manually I messed up the Blender 2.8.3 installation and have gone back to Blender 2.8.

In 2.83, add-ons should be installed in the %appdata%\Roaming\Blender Foundation\2.83\scripts\addons folder. If you navigate there, what do you see? If there are any Stop-motion-OBJ folders, try deleting those. Also go to C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.83\2.83\scripts\addons and delete anything related to Stop-motion-OBJ. Then try reinstalling the addon using the .zip file.

If all else fails, just use v2.1.0 instead of v2.0.2 since it's no longer supported.

Last things first.
It is the correct version, I took the text from Blender as I’ve too many Betas to count. ;) Would you check the version displayed in Blender Preferences, please?
As for installing it in the latest version of Blender. I still have problems and I have had to do 3 System Restores.
I’ve stopped for the moment while I think. I did not un-install Ver 2.8 so both were in the registry. :(
What I did see was that the folders:
Stop- motion-OBJ;
Stop- motion-OBJ -0.2.79.2;
Stop- motion-OBJ -2.0.0 in
AppData > Roaming > BlenderFoundation > Blender > 2.83 > scripts > addons

The last time I tried to install Stop_motion in 2.83 it seemed to install but when I tried to activate it. I got the errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Proglam Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.83\2.83\Scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 351, in enable
mod = import(module_name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Stop-motion-OBJ-2'

I think I've seen this issue before. I don't remember what caused it, but it should be sufficient to delete those three Stop-motion-OBJ folders and re-install the addon.
