tried manual, always get below error:

raceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.6\3.6\scripts\startup\bl_operators\userpref.py”, line 702, in execute
shutil.copyfile(pyfile, path_dest)
File “C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.6\3.6\python\lib\shutil.py”, line 254, in copyfile
with open(src, ‘rb’) as fsrc:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:\Program Files\D5 Sync for Blender\’

Hi @fourfires_d,

sorry for your situation.
Even if you change the default path of the Blender plugin installation, there are still files that get installed here.
You need to copy the entire d5_export file from the
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.6\scripts\addons\
directory to the path that is recognized by Blender (the actual path that you have modified: Blender Foundation → Blender 3.6 → 3.6 → scripts → addon), and then start blender again to turn it on in preference settings.
So, it is recommended that you use the default path when installing, and installing to AppData is fine.
