My Module installer doesnt run and doesnt gets into the resource table

Question

I've been working on a module that needs some attributes added to the table of sales_orders. So i thought i will make an resource install script and add it to the XML. Well for me this wasn't a easy task. To be really honest I cant make it work. I have searched some hours to get the solution, but i haven't found it. The weird thing is that my module isnt at the core_resource table...

Well this is my XML. I'm a bit new to XML editing. Maybe i have made an error.

XML:

<config>
        <global>
       <modules>
        <Sendcloud_Magento>
            <version>0.2.0</version>

Ive put an installer script in my module. the path /local/Sendcloud/Magento/sql/magento_setup/mysql4-install-0.2.0.php

echo 'Running This Upgrade: '.get_class($this)."\n <br /> \n";
die("Exit for now");

I have an model made in Sendcloud/Magento/Model/Resource/Mysql4/Setup.php

class Sendcloud_Magento_Model_Resource_Mysql4_Setup extends Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup {
}

I hope some of you have an solution to my question.

Best regards and a happy new year,

Paul

I assume you have cleared the cache and have not run the script before, correct? — boruch
I had the script running. i mean by running that one controller works. I also cleared the cache through the system and did it also manually. — Paul Oostenrijk

So now you need to update the version from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0, Try this

app\code\local\Sendcloud\Magento\etc\config.xml

<?xml version="3.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Sendcloud_Magento>
            <version>0.3.0</version>
