Thank you to mention that, Old version needs to be uninstalled through the installer or in Add/Remove program inside the windows control panel. it may list with the name "Installer" there.
or you can simply use this uninstaller ->

If you have any issues, please let me know.

A few suggestions.
3dsmax has a different scale system and the scene inside 3dsmax are big.
As a result, you need to use light with a little bit hight power around 50-100 or higher value for larger scenes.
Disable gamma in 3dsmax (Rendering-> Gamma) for better results until I figure out a good solution, or at least try to render with and without gamma to see which one is better for your scene.
Use standard spot/omni/directional light
Always use a physical camera.
let Plugin decide which is the best for render.
Metropolis and Sobol sampler works best in my opinion.
Use a reflector or an object as a light softener in scenes works way better than use too many direct lights As real-life lighting, depends on what you want to do, of course, it's not performance friendly but better in lighting.

Hi TAO, long time no see. I hope every thing is fine and healthy.
I tried the sample scene but when press render i get error message :
An exception occurred while rendering with 3ds Max.
This render will abort. If you render again without resolving the exception, you may experience instability.
Wrong number of values in property: scene.textures.Map_1.file

Is there a space in file name ? It should be enclosed in " " in that case.

It's a known issue with a too-long image path for textures. When I parse a too long file address in LuxCore it can not find the image file.
I'm trying to fix it.
For now, you can just move your project in a smaller path, for example, d:\temp or such.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
It's a brand new plugin and there are so many things do work on, I'm trying my best.
Let me if this fixes the issue.
