Here is a link outlining a mostly 'manual' uninstall of Max. Try this if you think it's prudent and see if it helps. You should watch it once before you decide to follow it or not though. Just to be sure...

So, when I was trying to reinstall AdODIS and after that when I tried to set up 3ds max, or other Autodesk software just for trying I saw there some Autodesk install windows appeared and disappeared in about 7 seconds. So, any of these setup process types starts and suddenly closes with no error... There are some Autodesk installer dependencies I have corrupted or what I can be... Like any of this process just closes suddenly... Only Fusion360 was installed successfully, but I think there is other installation software used...

You are going to need to reach out to Autodesk directly. You have something more complex going on, beyond the scope of what I can help you with. Maybe another user will have been through what you are dealing with and give you some kind of solution. 🙂

I Solve id by uninstalling ODIS from the system, and manually finding and deleting all ODIS dependencies from the registry, and clean reinstalling it again...
