Need help with OpenStudio SketchUp plugin setup.

Ok,

I'm an old BLAST user from way back and I'm trying to get caught up with all the new bells and whistles associated with EnergyPlus 8.7. I downloaded and installed SketchUp Pro 2017 and then downloaded and installed OpenStudio 2.2.0. Upon opening SketchUp I get the errors seen below. I then copied the file openstudio.so to C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\Tools so that it sits next to the file openstudio.rb. When SketchUp is restarted the error message does not appear but I have no OpenStudio menus or toolbars in SketchUp.

Error Loading File OpenStudio.rb Error: #<loaderror: cannot="" load="" such="" file="" --="" c:="" program="" files="" sketchup="" sketchup="" 2017="" tools="" openstudio.so=""> C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/Tools/OpenStudio.rb:55:in require_relative' C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/Tools/OpenStudio.rb:55:in<top (required)&gt;'<="" p="">
