 * I installed then actived the plugin under wp3.5 and now i cannot get deactive
   it from Plugin Dashboard. In fact the page throws a 500 error when I try to access
   wp-admin/plugins.php.
 * Is there a way to manually uninstall this plugin?

 * yes, remove the files or rename the folder of the plugin in `wp-content/plugins/`.
   But what is the problem to deactivate the plugin?

 * It doesn’t seem to work with WP3.5. When I try to access the dashboard PLUGIN
   page, I get a 500 error.
 * I was able to rename the directory, then the PLUGIN page worked again.
 * Thanks.

 * But a error 500 is a other topic, not a problem with a plugin.
