FrameMaker 2020 with Mif2Go - How to get it to work after upgrading FM?

I had Mif2Go working with FrameMaker 2017 to create PDF files. I upgraded to FrameMaker 2020 and the process is broken. Does anyone know how to get FrameMaker 2020 to work with Mif2Go after an upgrade?

 

I use the following path to try to set up Mif2Go (entered in a command window run as Administrator):

 

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2020\FrameMaker.exe" -progid:FrameMaker.M2G -auto

 

This launches FM2020. Continuing in the same command window, when I try to convert a file, the following error message displays:

 

runfm Ver. 4.0, Build 005

This ID is not registered for FrameMaker: FrameMaker.M2G

You must first set up FrameMaker with -progid:FrameMaker.M2G

 

If I instead try to convert a file using a .bat file, a command window opens for a couple of seconds, then disappears, with no output or message.

I see info about the registry keys in the Mif2Go help file, but cannot figure out how to fix it.

Thanks.

    I'm sorry to tell you that the developer for Mif2Go, Jeremy Griffith, died six years ago. While he willed the source code to the community at large, no one has had the time or expertise to update it. It does not work with either FrameMaker 2019 or FrameMaker 2020.
