Hi,

 

Using Blender 4.3.0 on a Win11 machine. Never had any problems before with installing add ons. Tried installing according to the manual, as all add ons previous. But when installning SP Add On the toolkit doesnt work, it doesnt show up. See attached image. When installing the Integretion tool it shows an error. See attached image. Ive triple checked and it is the correct version etc. What to do?

Hi,

 

Sorry for late reply. Have been on vacation. 

Ok, so i tried installing it again, see screenshot. From there the line says "Substance 3D in Blender: ERROR - TRACEBACK:", that's where i am trying to uninstall the integration tool, wich does not work either.


Hi @Jandersson22 , thanks for that, I see the issue now: "wmic is not recognized as an internal or external command". Occasionally Windows installs will not include WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line), which is necessary in this case. Here is how you can fix this manually:

  • Go to Settings - System - Optional features
  • Select "view features" then select " Add Option feature"
  • This will bring up a new window, scroll down the list to find WMIC, tick the checkbox, then press next, in the next window press Add.
  • You should now to be taken to a new window which shows the progress of the WMIC install under recent actions.

Note this will take a while to download, about 15 - 20 mins for some users. After this reset your computer and should be fine, when you click on the load in the substance tab, the file browser window should now display.

If that does not work, you may also need to define WMIC in your system environment variables: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/wmic-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command

Best,
Aldo

Hi, thank you for reporting this issue.

The latest version of Blender has caused a compatibility issue with our plugin. We are currently working on a fix and will roll it out very soon.
