Sometimes, extension can be partially downloaded, for example 90%. We can still install it, because there is no integrity check (that might me another bug). But, we cannot Remove it from Extension Manager. Deleting files from user profile crashes LO, and we get "runtime error" in soffice.bin. What we need is a "Purge extension" or some other way to completely remove it, including any configuration files, configmgr.ini, backenddb.xml, uno_packages.db, etc. For issues like this, you should Add Component "Extensions", like in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33179.

I decided to close this as WONTFIX because it open for long time, and there are more important issues. It's not so important and we can create a new profile without a damaged extension, although it would require to customize profile again.

Reproducible with mentioned extension in 26.2+. I change to Enhancement.
The first problem what I see with the example extension is that the author has also compressed the development folder. When an extension is opened with a decompressing program, the configuration files (like addons.xcu) must be in the root directory, not in another directory. Decompress the .oxt file in your pc, navigate to the "ExportAsImages.oxt" folder and compress the files inside that folder (but without the folder) can correct the installation problem.
(the files and directories)
