3ds Max Design 2013 installation failed - multiple attempts

Hello,

 

I'm currently trying to install 3ds Max 2013 (Student License), on Windows 7 64-bit, running on Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro. 

I have tried to run the installer several times, it appears to go through the whole process but then shows that the installation failed. I'm not sure what's causing the problem or what I should try to do, or if I need to do some uninstalling before trying again. Any links to similar problems that have been resolved or suggestions would be appreciated!

Here is one of the error logs:

Update: I tried completely uninstalling and removing all related files, don't have a firewall or virus protection turned on, UAC is off, downloaded the newest version of Java, restarted the computer and tried installing again.

Now it just gets stuck at the Material library saying 9 of 11 remaining and doesn't even get to the final error message.

 

Anyone? Help!

Message 3 of 6

Win 7 64-bit also, but Dell PC.

 

I am having a similar issue with 3ds MAX I am installing from Product Design Suite Premium 2013.  While it is downloading, I have gone on to working other things and left it installing in the background.  After a few minutes I go back to it and it has failed.

 

One thing I noticed in the log is that it stopped downloading several minutes before it failed (4:29 to be exact).  So I decided to baby-sit the installation screen and I noticed I was getting a notice that I had missed stating that it is unable to download because of no network activity.  Then I remembered that the other items I installed yesterday (Inventor, Electrical, Mechanical, etc.) had the same issue during installation.  I kept having to hit "Retry" over and over until it detected network activity, then it would start back up again.  Eventually, those products installed correctly.

 

So that is what I am doing right now and it seems to be installing fine.  What I think happened is that it warned me of no network activity and because I did not tell it to retry, it must have timed out after four and a half minutes.  Try it again, but baby-sit the installation screen.

 

One more thing I did differently was that I noticed the log failed right after downloading Direct X.  So I coppied from the log the directory it listed for Direct X on my hard drive and I opened that .exe file.  It installed Direct X, and then went back to install 3ds MAX again.  I do not think this is why it seems to be working, but I thought I should note it.  My install was hanging at 10 of 12 also, but I think that it is just taking forever to install that part.  If the "Installing..." and "Overall progress...) progress bars are still shimmering, I think it is still working (but slowly).

 

Update:  While I was typing the above, the installation progress changed from "10 of 12" to "6 of 12".  It is working.  Baby-sit the installation screen.  Another thing, make sure you are downloading/installing while on a LAN and not wi-fi.  It could be intermittent network activity if your Mac is dropping in and out of the wi-fi network.  Just a thought.

Leandra,

 

I just completed installation.  It worked.  Yesterday it failed about 4 or 5 times, so I think I was missing that notification about the network activity.  Remember, even though you "downloaded" the software, I think we really on downloaded the Autodesk Download Manager, and it merely downloaded some precursory files.  When you go into the Download Manager and hit Install, the real large program files are being downloaded after that point and installed.  I am guessing at this, but it seems to be the case.

 

Good luck!

Message 5 of 6

Sorry...one more thing.  Make sure Outlook and Word are not open during installation.  Autodesk did not like those to be open.  There may be other Office products it does not like.

Message 6 of 6

Hmm, I had been babysitting the installer  - but the network connectivity issue did pop up once or twice because my WiFi is a bit spotty. Maybe that has something to do with it. 

 

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give it a shot with the more reliable campus WiFi tomorrow.
