When I start the installer it say's for Revit 2015. But it installs fine.

But when I restart Revit I get an error and have to reinstall the plugin.

This morning Revit came with an error "faild to open document" I have never had this error before. Can it have something to do with the plugin?

I have added some screens.

I'm using 2014, and downloaded the plugin for the 2014 version.

I just checked the 2014 installer - and as you say, it is displaying the wrong Revit version - but all the files are indeed for 2014 and should work OK. I will fix this in the next release.

Are the files OctaneRender_for_Revit.dll, octane.dat, octane.dll and vcomp100.dll present in c:\Program Files\Autodesk\[your revit version]\?

Hi Paul

An uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed the problem.

This error occurs when you try to directly open a file, without open the Revit first. After follow the instructions in the manual, altering the .addin file, this message does not appear anymore.

So if I by accident open a file by clicking the file I need to reinstall the plugin?

No you don't have to reinstall anything, if you get that error, close Revit, and relaunch Revit, then open your file from the Revit menu.

This is covered in the manual at http://render.otoy.com/manuals/Revit/?page_id=19.
