3ds Max Failed to Install

I don't know what else to do. I don't understand very much about computers so I might need some help explaining what's going on.

 

I tried installing Max 12, both 64 and 32 bit versions and it failed. Then I tried installing Max 11, both bit versions and nothing.

 

What's going on? I have Windows 7 in this computer and I already had Max 12 installed before I formatted the machine. It's the same computer but now I can't install any Max version.

 

Please help me. I'm an art student and every week I have an assignment to do on Max.

I'm sorry, Hashim. But I didn't understand what you meant.

 

What is "MRsetservice"?

 

You posted a link. There the guy says that I need to go to Command Prompt and type "netstat -a -b".

 

The problem is that when I type that it doesn't give me the port that it should, it only says "the requested operation requires elevation".

 

Also, this Mental Ray thing that you are talking about, is it the renderer? 

Message 22 of 32

If you don't have sufficient rights to do a netstat, you probably don't have sufficient rights to install/run your product.  Make sure you have local administrator rights to your machine and have your UAC disabled.

Yes it is the renderer.

 

Please follow Travis's advice on disabling UAC, this could be the cause of install failure.

 

if not try the tweak in this post

It took me a while to understand how to do it but I'm doing it right now.

 

I'll post the results.

 

Thank you.

Message 28 of 32

Hashim, it worked! Thank you so much!

 

I have my midterm due this next Sunday and I can finally work home where I do my best work!

 

Thank you so much!

 

Travis, thank you too for the time you put into helping me! I really appreciate it!

Message 29 of 32

By the way, just out of curiosity, what exactly did I do? Lol.

 

I mean, will I still be able to render in Mental Ray now?!

Message 30 of 32

Failure in the installation!!!
I have tried repeatedly to install the free 3ds max 2012 for students, following advice from various forums without success.I need to directly use the program for a school assignment.
(Could you please help me?)
