including 3rd party plugins when using online deployment creation

[rene.grosser]

I'm trying to create a deployment for max 2021.2 and somehow I'm missing the option to incorporate 3rd party plugins (.dlo and/or .exe) into the deployment. Was this feature removed from the deployment process?

we don't deal with 3rd party plugins you need to go to the company that made that plugin

Ok, let me delve into that a little deeper: 

The old offline deployment creation process did offer the functionality to include my own plugin dlo files into the 3dsmax folder structure. It even let me add .exe or .msi installation runtimes with cmd shell options that were executed after the automated 3dsmax installation ran through to install additional software in silent mode (e.g. forestpack or railclone).

The new online tool is missing that functionality (or I am unable to find it), and it basically just provides a silent installation for the plain 3dsmax.
