Install creates no icon

Hi,

 

I just  installed the trial edition

 

it downloads stufs for like 15 minutes, then **** says some features were not installed but installation went fine

 

but there are no 3DS max icon anywhere, no sign of max in my program files nor autodesk folder

 

what's going on ?

 

actualy I only need to convert a .max file, I use blender, so if anyone knows how to convert .max to .3DS or obj without using 3DS Max ?

 

thanks

Welcome to the community..

 

If it states certain "things" failed to installed than you didn't successfully install the product.

 

Download and install per:

1. Access the Autodesk Virtual Agent and follow the download links to your product.
2. Download all of the parts (some applications only have a single part to download) for your product first. Do not continue until all of the parts have fully downloaded.
3. Navigate to your download folder location and extract (double click) part _001_00X.sfx.exe (or the single file download).
4. In a few seconds the extraction will start and prompt you to extract to C:\Autodesk.
5. Once the extraction is finished, the installation will automatically start.
6. Follow the installation steps for your product

If you want the full recommended installation steps, click on the installation link in my signature.

However if the installation does fail using this method, please post your installation log file here so we can review it.  Posting info: Sometimes installation log files contain personal information such as your serial #.  Prior to posting your log file please make sure to remove such info.

 

Good luck on your installation and report back on your progress.
