This is getting really irritating, can someone explain to me why this error is showing up?






Specs:

AMD graphic card 7870

CPU-6300 six-core processor

8gb ram

Because you're trying to install it onto -windows vista and newer - .
I could never get my old max 8 installer to work on vista64 and newer, and when I did. It would always freeze mid-use after a random amount of time passed(screwing over all max8 my projects xD )


Long story short,
If you still want to install it, run it under compatibility mode for XP, and ....saaaaaaave often I guess?

Odd, i had no problems with max 8 using windows 8.1

I got it to work when I went back to install it for Aquarii. If I remember correctly, I googled it and eventually found out that you needed a certain DLL. I can't remember the fix exactly, but its possible.

Why can't you guys use newer ver. like 2014, 2015? l do all my Halo stuff without any issues.

Blitzkreig exports faster than Bluestreak.

+ doesnt screw up as much stuff

The Blitzkrieg exporter is extremely faster and overall more efficent. The other script exporters such as bluestreak, while nice, can literally create errors where there are none and also takes a considerable more amount of time to export a single jms file.

I always got same errors when using both exporters. I don't know why people always say that.

Bliz > export editable poly > no errors
bluestreak > export editable poly > 4 million errors

It didn't work but thanks for you're help, and Higuy can you send me the plugin if you have time?

I got 3ds max 8 working on my crappy laptop lolz.


Funny thing is my PC is so strong and yet it can't run 3ds max 8.

its an incompatibility issue with certain pc components max 8 works great on my laptop but throws a fit on my desktop.

Is there a way how to make it work?

Can you post the error message? 3Ds max 8 installs fine on my desktop. Win 8.1.

I posted the error right at the top.

Not a HD captcha, so the resolution is too small enough for me to identify the font pixels.

well here you go I made it into word for you

@EtchyaSketch: Thankyou.

A couple things you could try,

1. halt any additional background autodesk process's.

2. Boot your pc in safe mode, and try to install it.

3. In rare cases, there maybe a confusion in your system registery. Which is prompting the install to fail.

4. Try, removing any other autodesk software, manually. By searching for any 3ds or autodesk related files and folders. If you are confident enough delete them and then try to re-install.

5. Have you considered upgrading to a higher version of max on a free student account?
