Hello! I've recently got a problem with Corona 6 installation to 3ds max 2022. Installation windows shows me some issues and I don't get it. I deleted everything manually before. I had Corona 6 for a 45 days, then I got another license and now I had to reinstall it because 3ds max could't open the Corona Converter, it gave me another warning window saying it's unabled to run Corona Convertor. "Unexpectedly failed to get 3ds Max installation directory". I am so devastated. I was advised to reinstall Corona and activate it again, but I got this message during the installation process. When I ran 3ds max, I've notices it cannot detect Corona in Renderer rollout.

Can i ask why are you trying to install such old version? Corona 6 were released in August 2020, that's more than 6 months before 3ds Max 2022 release. Most likely that's the reason of your issue. I'd suggest to head down to Chaos Corona download page and  download and install the latest release, which works with 3ds Max 2016-2025. https://www.chaos.com/corona/download
I'm not Corona Team member. Everything i say, is my personal opinion only.
