 * Hi nmathisen !
    What WP version do you have?

 * Maybe, you uploaded everything just as downloaded, and I’m realizing now, there
   might be a little confusion -I’m quite new at this plugin stuff, it’s my first-,
   you have to upload the nested folder, that is, when you unzip, upload the wp-
   live-css-editor/wp-live-css-editor folder.
    Let me know if that was your issue,
   so I’ll fix it in the download.

 * Fixed, I’ve updated the plugin so the download is fine now, and in my 3.1 WP 
   I could install from the plugin search and installer without problems. Hope it
   works for you and others now, please let me now !

 * I had to manually remove the current corrupted install, but was able to successfully
   download and activate. I’ll kick the tires on it and let you know if I have any
   further troubles.
 * Thank you.
