Com exception in 3ds Max 2022

[dlightme]

I'm trying to get the MXSPYCom server to execute scripts in 3ds Max 2022 (Python 3.7) With initialize_COM_server in %appData%\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2022 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\startup launching from PyCharm, Notepad++ or cmd results in

C:\Users\xxxxx\MXSPyCOM>MXSPyCOM.exe -f "C:\test.py" Unhandled exception. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020006): Unknown name. (0x80020006 (DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME)) at System.RuntimeType.InvokeDispMethod(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Object target, Object[] args, Boolean[] byrefModifiers, Int32 culture, String[] namedParameters) at System.RuntimeType.InvokeMember(String name, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Binder binder, Object target, Object[] providedArgs, ParameterModifier[] modifiers, CultureInfo culture, String[] namedParams) at MXSPyCOM.Program.execute_max_commands(String[] args, String filepath) at MXSPyCOM.Program.Main(String[] args)

I've tried every variation of pathnames (single, double, no quotes, /, //, \ ) it's always the same result. Is this compatible with 3ds Max 2022?

Do you have safe script execution enabled? Sadly, at this time, you have to disable that for MXSPyCOM to work correctly.

3ds max safe scene script execution was on, turned off, restart and same result. 0x80020006. Max 2022.3 Update (24.3.0.3404)

I have the same problem, deactivating safe script execution didn't change anything. Max 2022.3.6 Security Fix (24.3.6.3521). Is there a solution now ?

I'm having the same issue in Max 2024, but I didn't have the error in Max 2022 weirdly enough. Has anyone figured out a solution?
