Sigh. I did my validation with the Bootstrap template. I see that the builtin responsive_classic is not working.

v2.0.1 of the plugin is now available for download.

Correcting integration with built-in responsive_classic template.

So happy to see this one converted to a plug-in. I'm having the following error while upgrading to latest ZC version:
Table '***_databasename.configuration' doesn't exist

Even though I've already installed 6 other plugins without issues.

PS: I do use prefix for the database.

Darn it, I know better!

Find the file /Installer/ScriptedInstaller.php in the distribution.

Change line 60 (highlighted below)

                ('Display \"Other\" Referral option?', 'DISPLAY_REFERRAL_OTHER', 'true', 'Display \"Other - please specify\" with text box in referral source in account creation', 5, 10, 'zen_cfg_select_option([\'true\', \'false\'], ', now()),

        );

Yes, you do That's why it was weird to me, the error.
