 * Hello Michael, I really need your help. I bought the plugin editor, but when 
   I imported the CSV data that I need to load into the form, I get the message “
   Can not read file: C: \ Windows \ Temp \ phpC412.tmp” and consequently does not
   load the data into the form.
 * Appreciate your help!
 * Hugs

   kind of problem might be happening? You who created the plugin and should have
   some idea of ​​what happens … My client has urgency

 * This appears to be a system configuration issue, not a plugin issue.
 * Your PHP process cannot write to the Windows temporary directory. That where 
   uploaded files go while PHP is processing them (and not just by this plugin).
   So there is something wrong in your configuration on Windows that doesn’t allow
   the process (or logged in user) to write there. Or the PHP configuration on that
   computer that tells PHP which is the temporary directory is wrong. It seems very
   strange that there are spaces in the file file in your error message. Maybe that
   is the issue.
