Does anyone know how I would switch my Corona render from my old Cinema4D R21 to my new install of Cinema4D R23? It's not showing up. I have a ticket in with Corona Render so hope to have their answer soon but would love to start using it. P.S. I'm windows-challenged, a beginner, so need a step by step. Thank u.

If the target (R23) is not showing up in the "Custom" part of the installation, select the "Unpack files" selection and select a location on your computer.
After that is done, a folder with corona folders for each supported version of Cinema4D. Simply open Cinema 4D R23 folder and copy the "corona" folder to:
C:/Program Files/Maxon Cinema 4D R23/plugins/ or wherever you have selected your installation to be.
Let me know if you run into some issues.

To start with I didn't know where/what my Corona installer was. Didn't realize it was this file called "hotfix" in a folder right on my desktop. I was staring and staring at your instructions Mmarcotic/Jan, not exactly understanding, but then did check out a video on installing corona and saw the guy clicked on that same "hotfix" file and finally realized that was the installer.
Once I realized that, I combined what you said about looking for R23 in the Custom part, with what CineMike said earlier about Corona 6, and figured out what to do. And now I have it! Thanks.

Good that you have come to a fruitful conclusion to the story.
Enjoy Corona Renderer!

By the way CineMike: The way that my previous topic had ended up being worded, I thought it appeared I had my answer, but I didn't. That's the only reason I started a new topic. No need to make a remark about it. Began to seem like your replies were getting in the way for me.

Interestingly Cinema4D has reached out and asked me how I had figured out how to add Corona to R23, saying "it may help others with the same problem." So I told them. Thank u all. (Correction it was Corona who has asked me to tell them how I did it, not Cinema4D)
-
No, wait it was Corona who wrote to me and asked that question.
This is what I replied to Corona:
"I was told I needed to download the new Corona 6 version installer. Then I ran it and when it asked what kind of installation, I chose Custom, clicked on that, found R23 there and chose that. Then continued and it was done.
