Thought I'd post here about an issue I had installing max 2017 and what seems to have resolved it.
I ran through the installation twice and after running through the full download and installation process
it rolled back everything.
I had been saving the web installer file in a folder on a non-operating system drive.
I thought I'd try to save/run it from my main OS drive downloads folder and it installed as it should.
Thought it might be helpful to some.
