How do I enable Cinema 4D Studio in After Effects after unintalling Cinema 4D Lite?

I'm running Cinema 4D R25 Studio on my machine. So, I uninstalled Cinema 4D Lite after installing Adobe Creative Cloud and installed Cinema 4D Studio afterwards.

Now, when I try to change a composition's 3D renderer to "Cinema 4D", an error message is popping up, telling me that Cinema 4D must be installed for using the Cinema 4D renderer.

How can I tell After Effects that Cinema 4D Studio actualyl is installed, up and running on my machine and ready to be used by After Effects?

I don't know if it's related, but you can try to create a new Maxon C4D File and then go to options where you can configure the C4D path.

I tried your suggestion, but (unfortunately) to no avail:

Is Cinema 4D properly installed in the default directory?

C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D 2024

Check this: After Effects won’t let me use cinema 4D

Mine is installed at "C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R25".

The registry key is: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R25", value: "Location: C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R25"

I would guess you do not need to uninstall C4D Lite. You just install the full version of C4D and overwrite C4D Lite.

So, there is no option to manually register an existing Cinema 4D installation with After Effects?
