Installation installs shelf but shelf encounters error when launching and refuses to launch
I am working in Maya 2025 on a I9 Alienware beast with 64 gigs of ram.

I am trying to install your CC setup for Maya. 2024 did not install at all. I got the shelf installed in 2025 but returns an import error - line 4 bad magic number in autosetup main.
OS: Windows 11

Hi walberganimation,

Regarding the "bad magic number" error you encountered:

This error typically indicates a version mismatch between the plugin and your Maya version (e.g., installing the Maya 2024 plugin into Maya 2025). Since Maya uses different Python versions for each release, the plugin must match the specific year exactly.

Solution:
Please go to the official Reallusion website (or Reallusion Hub) to download the installer again.

We now provide specific versions for Maya 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Please ensure you select and download the installer specifically for "Maya 2025".

After downloading, please reinstall the plugin. You can refer to our online manual for detailed installation steps:

Best regards,
Kayla
