After removing all my autodesk products using the instructions in the service and support section, I can not reinstall 3dstudio Max. The reinstall of Architecture was successful and the database that was corrupted has been restored.
So now I need help with understanding why I can get Studio to install. Below is the log that was created during the install attempt. I noted in the log where it failed in both "Normal" and "Safe" modes. Please help me to figure out what I need to do to get this thing installed. Thanks.

It turns out that it takes a full 48 minutes to re-install the software.
I just needed to update my patience to the latest version.
I'm having the exact same problem, reinstall failure in exactly the same place.
You say you had to be patient, but how did that get you around the pop-up error where it complains about a bad registry key?
