Plug in doesn't work

Hi,
I am a new user of Octane and it seems very "technical" for me.
I just installed the plug in as per the video on Max 2010. I added it in the toobar. But when I start it I have a "runtime error" saying it doesn't find the scripts.
Can somebody help me on that?
Thanks
Paul

confirm the script is copied to [your 3dsmax ROOT folder]/scripts/max2octane

File was in the scripts but empty... I re-unzip the file and did it again and it worked!
Something else, when I finish the export and press Render, Octane didn't open, it start the export again. and sometime it works?
Also, I tried with a very big scene which export correctly without the plug-in and it crashed 3ds before finishing the export thru the plug in.
Here are some of my trouble starting to work with Octane and the 3ds export... I still have to learn a lot.
