I'm a college professor and I need to install an older version of 3ds max, in this case, 3ds max 2012. I am having issues with installing it on Windows 8.1.
"Error 1606. Could not access network location Path" keeps popping up! It is infuriating!
I tried this solution offered here in the forums but to no avail. Please help!

Welcome to the community, @USCSS_Doria_Nox!
It's possible that you're receiving this error because Autodesk 3ds Max 2012 isn't compatible with Windows 8.1. Please see the system requirements for further details. Is there any chance you have a Windows 7 machine that you can work on?
Thanks for the reply. I got it installed on Windows 8.1 by changing the application's Compmbatabilty Mode to Windows 7 and ran it as Admin.....3ds max 2012 installed correctly and it works great!
Thanks both of you for the suggestions.
Great news, you're welcome! Glad to hear that you're up and running. Please let us know if there's anything else you need
I am having the same error with 2012 and this solution did not work for me. Are there other solutions to this problem? I tried changing compatability, running as admin and changing my file directories but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
