Hi, I'm not the brightest person when it comes to figuring this stuff out. So if someone can help me, that would be awesome. I'm trying to install 3DS Max 2012 (i know, but I need it for school because that's the version they use) and it keeps failing on me. I've tried reading through a bunch of forums, but none of them seem to work. I've tried installing via diagnostic mode, I've deleted my C++ files like another forum told me, dropped my .Net Framework back to basic like another told me and regardless I keep coming up with the failure (1603). I should probably note that I am trying to install the student version. Also, I know in other forums people ask for the log file found in the %temp% file, if you need this to help me, please tell me how to find this. If it helps, I am using Windows 7, plenty of ram and plenty of space. The laptop I am installing it on is a school distributed laptop, I am not the administrator, but I do have all permissions (not sure if that would make a difference). Please, if someone could help me that would be awesome because I really need this for school. Thank you to whomever responds to this.
