 * Hey [@kingjoshgh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingjoshgh/),
 * There should be a copy of the installer named installer-backup.php in the archive.
   Are you not seeing that file? If no what version of the plugin was the archive
   built with?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Cory,
 * Thank you for the quick response. I have found it. Funnily, I was expecting it
   to be named exactly as stated “installer-backup.php” but it had the archive name
   preceding it. Thank you again, my site is up now.
 * I am a HUGE fan of your work.
