Can't install .ZXP extensions to Animate V21.0

Hey all, with the new update I seem to have lost my extensions and can't reinstall them. 
Anyone else having trouble with this or know how to fix it?
I'm on a Windows 10 PC and use ZXPInstaller to install my extensions. They worked fine with all the previous versions of Animate up to this point. 
Some of the extensions are quite old but they are crucial time savers, like Library Items Renamer and Zero-Transform for symbols.
Please let me know if you know how to fix this. 
Many thanks.

    Hi mate,

     

    If you are unfamiliar with our work, come have a look:

    https://flash-powertools.com/

    We are the only ones who still actively develop extensions. 

    There is a Library Renamer and Zero Transform as well as many others:

    We'll be releasing pro-grade IK implementation in a few months also:

    With those old ZXPs you can try Anastasiy's Extensions Manager:

    https://install.anastasiy.com/

     

    Or if you still have them working in Animate 2020, just copy the commands from 2020 config folder to 2021 config folder.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @I_AM_LOTAN  ,
    You can try installing your zxp extensions using latest ExMan Command Line tool. ExManCmd is available here to download : https://partners.adobe.com/exchangeprogram/creativecloud/support/exman-com-line-tool.html
    e.g.  In Windows: ExManCmd.exe /install myextension.zxp
    Please try it out and let us know if you still face issues in installing your extensions.

    Thanks,
