Issue with installing mgear 5+, menu does not populate

Support

Hi
When I do a drag and drop install of Mgear (tested 5.1 and 5.2), it gives me a Mgear menu but when clicking that, it does not roll out any content. Is this maybe a known issue? Is there a way to fix?

#2

Please, check the script editor for an error log, and share it here :slight_smile:

Which Maya version are you using?
