NIK Collection to PSE 2025 not showing up after both installed

Question

I just upgraded PSE to 2025 and also upgraded NIK Collection to 8.  NIK Collection is showing in my computer and I can use it as a stand alone program, but it is not showing up in my PSE 2025.  I have done all of the troublshooting that NIK provides and none of it has helped.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I'm so frustrated and don't know what to do.  Someone please help!!  I have checked my system info on PSE 2025 and it shows all of the NIK Plugins and beside each one it says "No version".  I have no idea what that means and why it would be there!

I have been working with DxO's help for many, many days on a very similar problem, to which we have not yet arrived at a solution. I have Photolab 7E, Affinity 2, Luminar 4, PSE 2020 and PSE 2025 in my Windows 11 PC. The Nik Collection 7 (N7) works fine on 4/5 apps, but the Define, Viveza and Color Efex modules (listed in the palette, but not the Filter of PSE 2025) are non-functional when called. A Google search has indicated that they are unreliably functional in PSE 2025. Out of many failures to get these modules to work, I have, today, asked DxO to prove to me that they are functional in PSE 2025. Hold on, I now see that there was a time that I did have a fully functioning palette, but somehow screwed things up because I continued to muck around  due to having 3 N7 palettes and 2 N& HDRs in Automation Tools. I should have settled for that flakiness within AT!
