The installation under Joomla 4 does not work for me either.

Ok... Wrong Path on chronoforms8.xml

change \ to / for install.chronoforms8.sql

For dummies like me (only on Linux server):
Unpack the com_chronoforms8.0.0 package
open the chronoforms8.xml file with a text editor
search for the line
<driver file="mysql" charset="utf8">sql\install.chronoforms8.sql</file>

and replace it with
<driver file="mysql" charset="utf8">sql/install.chronoforms8.sql</file>

Zip the folder
Install as usual

Installed it, only email as action? Where is all other functionality?

the funny thing is that, it did not work for the same reason on my windows server, so the slash direction depends on which server type you use.

More functionality to be added with time.

No upgrade from v7 to v8 yet, but it's on the todo list.

Tried installing 8.01 and am seeing this error during install:
JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist /home/xxxxx/public_html[TMP]/install_64b808ba4dec4/admin/php
and the install fails.

No luck getting it installed either (Win11 , PHP 8.1 & 8.28, Joomla 4.3.3)
Just get Joomla Error message that component failed to install

PS: exact message:
JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist [ROOT]\tmp\install_64b843d78f2f7\admin\php
Component Install: Failed to copy administrator files.
