Sorry, forgot to mention that I had modified install.rdf:
<!-- SeaMonkey -->
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>2.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>2.1</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
Where is the file located?
In your profile.
Find the extensions directory. Do a search in that directory for all
instances of install.rdf. Edit all of them to set em:maxVersion to 2.1.
(I actually set it to 2.*)
Be careful. Some extensions have different em:maxVersion values for
different applications. If there is more than one em:maxVersion, be
sure to change it for SeaMonkey.
But, if you removed the add-on via Tools/add-on manager the directory that
housed that extension will be empty.
You can redownload the xpi here without
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/addons/67148/
An xpi is a zip archive, so you could unzip, modify the install.rdf,
rezip and install that way if you wanted to. Or just try installing from
the xpi& when it fails it may expand into the proper folder& then
modify the install.rdf.
Ah, yes - I didn't realize that a re-install, even though it failed, would leave
the load intact. Downloaded the .xpi, went to the directory, changed the .rdf
file and - viola - a restart of SM showed the add-on now works.
(This with the Show IP add-on) Others will be tried tomorrow. Thanks.
I just tried an experiment. I opened WinZip. I dragged a PrefBar .xpi
file into the empty WinZip window. Seeing install.rdf, I viewed it with
Wordpad. I was able to edit install.rdf and save the result back into
the .xpi file. All this worked without actually extracting install.rdf
and then rezipping it after editing.
I think you you mean "manually extracting..." here, extracting and update still
need to be done to make the checksums correct.
I don't know if other zip applications will work this way, and I don't
know if any of this can be done on non-Windows platforms.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
