It appears ifs failing on the C++ 2012 Redistrubtion interface.  Meaning most likely you have a newer version of the application which the install doesn't like.  Go into WIndows/Control Panel/Program featiures/Add&remove programs and remove it.  Then try the installation again.  Also make sure to remove the 332B and 64B version of it.

I removed the prerequisite error by removing the dotnet and vcredist and also the diretx runtime from the setup.ini as told by travisnave and deleted the ms cc+2012 and reinstalled it manually,it still did not work.so now what is causing the problem i want to know the specific thing that is causing the problem and the solution plz .
{Bellow i have provided the new setup.log,install.log and setup.ini which i edited}.

Your Max is actually failing for a non-descript reason.  It is not a prereq in this case.  It is actually failing on the 3DS Max portion itself.  You might need to find the Max log in the %TEMP% folder, but even that might not necessarily show the reason.

Where did you obtain the install files?  And are you installing with local admin rights, UAC off, and anti-virus disabled?

No attually there was a error in the prerequisite , In the 4th post i hve provided the edited files .I think you did not check the first posts attachements of this thread that contains the file before editting ,in that you can clearly see that the prerequisite are failing.and i had closed all the anti virus softwares and fire wall etc.i had edited the setup.ini file like you had told in another thread.so now whats the problem?
