Can't install 3DS Max

[robinu92]

Hello,

I keep having trouble while I'm installing 3DS Max. I've tried two different versions, the 2010 & 2012 version. In both cases the installation failures. The error log shows the following:

Hi Robinu92.

Can you please try the solution on this thread  and let us know if it works for you?

Thanks!

Well I can't find both register keys and the cofigurationmanager does not show any Visual C++ installed, so I don't get it? By the way my PC runs on Windows 7.

Well the problem still in't resolved. First I don't know how to uninstall the vcredist files? I've tried to install the vcredist files but then I get a new error. The error says that I need to locate the source which contains the vredist.msi file. So where can I find this file?
