Not able to see plugin in Blender

[gioarma]

Hello, I have a very basic problem: after installation I'm not able to see the plugin in the Blender Add-on menu, so I'm not able to use the add-on at all.
I followed your installation guide:

• Downloaded the mitsuba2-blender-v0.1.zip file at this page
• Opened Blender -> Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Install -> Select the mitsuba2-blender-v0.1.zip file from the Download folder -> click "Install Add-on".

The Blender consol prints:

So everything seems fine. However, when I go back in the Add-on menu and search for "mitsuba" I don't get any available add-on:

Looking at the folder C:\Users\ArmarGio\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.4\scripts\addons\mitsuba2-blender I see that the add-on was indeed installed:

Setup

I am using a Windows machine, with Windows 11 Pro version

I tried using Blender 3.4.1, and 3.3.0, but the result was the same.

I tried this on a different PC, but the result was the same

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
The release you tried to download is very outdated. Please download the one called "Latest Build" here.

Note that there are some known issues with the exporter on windows for more recent versions of blender (see #61)

Thank you, I was trying to install the old one because I understood the latest build was not stable
