I'm running WinXP SP2 on a 32 bit Intel. I have QGIS 0.8.1 installed in
'c:\QGIS_0.8.1_rc1\' and I have QGIS 0.9.0 installed in
'c:\QGIS_0.9.0_26.10.2007\'. I used your Windows installer
(ghydraulic-setup-2.0.0.exe) and installed in
'c:\QGIS_0.9.0_26.10.2007\python\plugins\ghydraulic\'.
The problem I have is that your plugin is not registered properly in
QGIS 0.9.0. In the plugin manager I see __error__ under the name,
version and description.

This is my first encounter with your plugin so I am not yet sure of its
capabilities. At this stage let's assume I will launch the plugin from
within QGIS and use the command line.

In the economicdiameter.py script I find the following:
# Supply path to where is your QGIS installed
QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("c:/Programme/Quantum GIS", True)
In several of the binary *.pyc files I find the same path prefix. E.g.
in ghydraulicplugin.pyc I find the following:
'C:/Programme/Quantum GIS/python/plugins\ghydraulic\ghydraulicplugin.pyt'
The only place I have found 'c:\program files' is in the README.

I'm not sure what effect this will have on the hard coded paths
mentioned above, but I will try it out and report back
Many thanks
