I tested Wall Worm this morning on Windows 11 for the first time. I did run into an issue:
After updating Windows from Windows 10 to Windows 11, I tried to launch 3ds Max. There were errors when launching Max. It was not clear to me that the errors were a result of WW or not in the Max log file. I was not able to successfully launch Max. There could have been a problem due to WW or another plugin. Note that 3ds Max does not yet officially support Windows 11, and this was just my own experiment.
I then renamed this folder to something else and restarted Max:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Autodesk\3dsMax\2022 - 64bit
When doing this, 3ds Max will recreate that folder. Unfortunately, it means that any customizations are lost.
I was able to successfully load 3ds Max at this point, then click Scripting > Run Script, and browse to
C:\Program Files\Wall Worm\Wall Worm Pro Pack\WallWorm.com\install.ms
After WW installed, I restarted and Max launched fine and had access to all the Wall Worm functions.
You actually installed Windows 11? I'm too afraid to do that yet, as I know from a number of programs that they don't work properly yet... I'm gonna wait regardless and perhaps install it a few months from now (or next year). Thanks for the walkthrough, though. I'm sure a number of people will run into this problem!
Well I'm not that brave either! I installed Windows 11 on my backup system :P
A second data point: I today updated my main machine to Windows 11 and did not have the same issues as in opening post. I'll run WW through some tests this weekend.
I have updated the WW installer to include support for Windows 11. I've been using it without issues since the first post above. No problems since then.
