Did you ever get this to work? as I am using 4.1 and getting the same issue/message
Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/noodle-columns.1.1.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin install failed.
No, I went ahead and used a different plug-in, which didn’t work as well as Noodle, but close enough.

I have managed to get version one of noodle columns working fine in 4.1, I just copied the entire v1 plugin folder from an older install into my 4.1 plugins folder.
The only issue is that bug that noodle 1.1 fixes, but if you are aware of it it isn’t an issue
So as long as you do this (no gap or newline between the column shortcodes)
[column-half-1]
content bla bla….
[/column-half-1][column-half-2]
content bla bla….
[/column-half-1]
instead of this
[column-half-1]
content bla bla….
[/column-half-1]
[column-half-2]
content bla bla….
[/column-half-1]
it should work fine and not break
Actually I just downloaded manually the 1.1 version of the plugin and it is empty, as in there are no files in it.
According to svn this is now obselete and had been replaced with “Bamboo Columns” which seems to be a slip in replacement as in it supports the same syntax
Cool, thanks for the heads up!
I’ll check out Bamboo Columns
