Script closes immediately - 2023

I tried installing or directly running several versions of the script, but every time the script window opens and closes immediately, and the script listener just says "Bye!"

This happens on 3dsMax 2023. Any ideas how to fix this?

Are you downloading the right

Are you downloading the right version.. it should make a UI_In folder, not a UI folder. you need the 2013+ version. Again.. not totally sure if max2022 still uses the UI_In folder.
What is the default dir structure?

Hi, to install you should

Hi, to install you should download the 2013+ zip version and extract to the install dir.. eg: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2018\
Sorry, have not tested in 2022, but id the UI_In dir exists in 2022, then should all be fine.
