I am using Zotero 7.0.11 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Home. I am trying to install the style MDC Style (No Footnote Sorting). But get this error:

Please help! Thanks so much!

Edit: Incorrect assumption

It looks like the style is in OneDrive — I don't think there's any reason to think the data directory is.

@steveroy747, where is that style from? Can you provide a Debug ID for reproducing this?

Oh right, I read it the other way round. I assumed it was to be installed to, not read from. My bad

Ideally also a link to the style if possible

I have the file on my PC's desktop right now. It is MDC Style (No Footnote Sorting)

The style is being used by students at McMaster Divinity College and works well.

Here is the debug ID:

D1035005787

Not sure how to post a link to the file.

Thanks so much for your help!

Paste the contents of the style to pastebin.com and share the link.

adamsmith · 2024-12-07T22:00:45+00:00

or I guess create a OneDrive share link?

Thanks so much damnation! I opened the style in notepad and it said the contents were removed because of a security risk. I re downloaded the exact same file and was able to install the style.

Thanks everyone for all your help! I really appreciate!
