Using PySide in 3ds Max 2017 - MaxPlus.GetQMaxWindow issue?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Having a weird issue with MaxPlus, simply getting the main max window.. doesn't seem to be working. 

From the docs, this method: QtGui.QWidget(MaxPlus.GetQMaxWindow()) is the way to get the qmainwindow in a qwidget..

the problem is that MaxPlus.GetQMaxWindow() returns nothing, and whenever i put it into a variable, or within a qwidget, or even check if its valid with PySide.shiboken, it always returns no value, not even None.  

The error i get when trying to run it within a gui, is Unknown exception thrown executing script and nothing else.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks in advanced.

To add to this, what is interesting is that the Personal version of 3ds Max i have at home, i have the above issue.. at work, i do not.
It's important to note, if i run import sys; print sys.argv, it returns [''], which i find very odd. This should return something.

On top of this, when i get random python errors within my tools... the error i get is 'Error occured executing user action' and no other information.. is there a 'show stack trace' check box somewhere?

Just noticed, on a machine that it works on.. i'm on windws 7. On the machine it doesn't work, i'm on windows 10. Perhaps this is the problem?
