Thanks for the report.

"modules_manager module not installed. " --> you have installed 
Scilab-5.4.1 without the "Tools for management of extern modules".
You have probably used the default installation. With Scilab-5.4, this 
module came with the default install, with Scilab-5.4.1 it is no 
longer the case.

Fix: reinstall Scilab with this module, i.e. take care of checking the 
box labelled "Tools for management of extern modules" in the installer.

I will make the error message more explicit in later versions of Scipad.

Thanks,
Francois
