Complex profiles are one of the most useful features in the current ArchCAD and corner windows are an architects dream but the two don't /can't come together.
When are we going to be able to place corner windows onto complex walls?

Made a wall with the profile manager and placed in corner window.
No problems here.

I have checked the ref guide and page 1220 says......
Please note:
• Corner Windows cannot be placed in a Profiled Wall.
I have also checked again and cannot place a corner window in a Complex Wall.
I must be missing something.

Now I understand....
There is a specific corner window tool which allows the placement of a corner window with (effectively) one click ... you don't have to place both windows or manipulate the junction unfortunately this doesn't work with complex walls.
There is a short video here...
Hope this helps

Also tried a corner window into the complex wall.
Doesn't work with me either.

I use Complex profiles frequently and I frankly don't understand why the two don't function together !

Screenshot is a wall and concrete footing using the Complex Profile and the Corner Window inserted properly in 2D and 3D.

Not sure what you mean about 'module'.
Anyhow, here are a few more screen shots.
