Quartz client seems broken

[WeivCo]

We’re trying to wrap up development of our new VJ platform with built-in Syphon support and noticed our integration with a couple other graphics apps has stopped working on some machines, including mine.

The culprit seems to be a broken Syphon Quartz client. I have Quartz Composer 4.0 installed as part of XCode 4.0.2. Loading Syphon Client QC gives me:

The composition "Syphon Client QC.qtz" was not restored successfully.

I’ve tried a couple different version of the Quartz client, including the older one. None of them work. Any ideas?

Is the QC plugin installed in the proper location?

Bah, I’m stupid…it wasn’t installed at all! I recently upgraded laptops and forgot to install the plug-in on this one.

Thank you for the help.
