I have just the same problem.
The error is: "Error occurred processing template file: c:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2020 SDK\maxsdk\howto\3dsmaxPluginWizard\Templates\1033\MASTER_PARAMBLOCKDESC.txt

With 2020 & 2025 SDK in VS2022.

There file is there.

What's the solution?

the problem is cause by the wrong version of vs and sdk,if you want to use the 3dsMaxPluginWizard to build project,you better use the version required by autodesk.my solution is use those samples to build project myself,there're many samples in sdk.

Hmm, thanks for the reply.

MAX 2025 SDK does work with VS2022. And so should the Wizard.
I also can work on and build plugins for MAX2020 with VS2022.
The Plugin Wizard readme.txt of the 2025 SDK, to setup the Wizard, even describes settings for VS2022. (e.g. VsWizardEngine.17.0 and the different folder location for the vcprojects, due to VS2022 being 64bit now.)
The problem is that I want to create an Atmosphere plugin and there is hardly anything in the Sample projects except the stone age old Fog sample from MAX2 or 3....
Also the SDK docu is very limited on that topic.

i think you should ask Autodesk official about this issue,they may provide you some suggestions.

Yea, thanks.

I will post here when I get a solution....
