Hello and thank you for coming here.
I am not very good at english but i will try my best to explain my problem.
My 3DS Max does not launch... It stucks at initmesh.dlm and i don't know what to do to fix this. There is only one topic about this problem but the answer didnt solves the problem at all. I apreciate your help.
Thnak you again for reading.
hi did you tried to install a fresh copy of windows and 3ds max both ? let me know...thanks
I don't know how to solve that, but there's more than 1 topic about it...
This one is marked solved:

Maybe you can find your solution there too?
This is google's list of topics related to initmesh.dlm on these forums:

Judging by what you deleted you did a user profile reset like @Alfred.DeFlaminis suggested in that topic I linked.
If it didn't help, maybe you also have Windows issues...
I can't really help, best i can suggest is doing a clean uninstall of 3DS Max and reinstalling making sure UserAccountControl (UAC) is set to the lowest setting and Antivirus and such are temporarily disabled...
Hopefully someone else can chime in with other suggestions.
Good luck!

a few things I find odd:
- your pic at top says 2017
- so why are you trying to fix 2016 directories ? OK, fair enough, maybe you want to clean out all previous versions of Max...let's assume so.
- so it's trying to load Initmesh plugin....but not from C: but from 😧 according to your pic again....
Now I'm not saying you can't install it somewhere else other than C:.....should be possible...but as a safe option, why don't you clean out as much as you can and reinstall and leave it default at C: instead...
At least if in the future there's problem...99% of the times people will tell you to fix things here and there on C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 201x\
and not from 😧 like you have.....as I said, it's not impossible to install somewhere else...but you're just likely to confuse yourself than anything.
Goodluck.
Hello,
Thank you guys for the help.
I did a clean uninstall, then installed into "C:/" the 2016 version...
I tried many things already, but nothing seems to work
If you guys figures out something, please tell me. Im already out of options 😞
Hello @fujii.kimio.k and welcome to the community,
I am very sorry that I missed this thread. I will transfer it over to Installation and Licensing right away.
