PackageContents.xml doesn't exist

[3Dgrapher]

Updated from vray 6.1 to vray 6.10 this weekend.
When 3ds max starts up i get this msg : "./plugins/vrayalmtl2023.dlt" specified in "C:\Users\**\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationP lugins\VRay3dsMax2023\PackageContents.xml" doesn't exist.

Is this something that can be ignored or ...?
Max2023 / Windows 10pro.

Cheers.

Found it strange i was the only one reporting this so there had to be another reason i was getting this popup.
Seems windows defender thought the file "vrayalmtl2023.dlt" is a trojan.
I only have defender running on my workstation, this never happened before. Strange.
I guess its save to whitelist that file?

I don't have an answer for you, but I have the same message this week. When starting 3dsmax 2023 (not other versions) and Windows Defender as well

If you download your V-Ray setup from the official download section of our site I can assure you that is a false positive detection.

I got this error yesterday for the first time. But mine says something about metaball plugin.

"./plugins/vraymetaball2023.dlo" specified in "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\VR ay3d sMax2023\PackageContents.xml" doesn't exist.

Max2023 Win11, Vray 6.2

How did you solve it?

I am having the same issue today in both max 2023 (v-ray 6.2) and 2025 (v-ray 7) versions. tried re installing a couple of times.

chaosscattermax2023.dlt and chaosscattermax2025.dlt doesn't exist.

Did you ever solve this? I'm trying to install VrayFur Styler and I have to add a line of code to the 'PackageContents.xml.' The documentation only says to add the line to the list, but gives no tips on how to do it properly.

When I put it in most places I get the error above. When I put the code after everything else, no error, but no modifier either. I just don't know how to properly insert the code. Any tips?
