I’m also having issues, with 5.3 on Max 2023. When I launch I get this:
XAML Parse Error
Error parsing Xaml file: ‘Failed to create a ‘AlternateImage’ from the text ‘Icons/Datasmith/DatasmithAutoSyncIconOff32.png’.’ Line number ‘32’ and line position ‘11’.
OK
Then I get this:
Error Loading Ribbon Extension
There was an error loading Ribbon extension file:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2023\en-US\UI\Ribbon\Extensions\DatasmithUI.xaml
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: ‘Failed to create a ‘AlternateImage’ from the text ‘Icons/Datasmith/DatasmithAutoSyncIconOff32.png’.’ Line number ‘32’ and line position ‘11’. —> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file ‘C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2023\UI_LN\Resources\Dark\Icons\Datasmith\DatasmithAutoSyncIconOff32.png’.

First time I only got the first error and Max asked me to reset my UI. I didn’t want to so I choose no. But there’s no Datasmith export. I can see that the plugin was loaded. I restarted Max. I got the second error as well, and my UI is now ■■■■■■.
