XPGD 2013 - How do you add a Plugin?

[dcahall]

I have been trying to install the Eye Candy plugin but cannot get XPGD 2013 to recognize the plugin.

I ran the Alien Skin plugin and pointed it to the Plugins subdirectory under the Xara program folder. What the heck am I doing wrong?

I have run the install procedure several times but the Plugin never shows up in XPGD. When the install asked for the folder I pointed to the Plugins folder under the Xara Picture Editor folder under the Xara software folder.

It never shows up when I click on the Live Effects drop down list.

I am running Windows 8 and do not have any other programs like Photoshop.
