I can't get sp 2 or 3 to install, keep ending up with a permissions issue that the maxgraph folder couldn't be written (I am the only user account/admin and even used that take control reg edit tool), still no success. I was reading that the service packs have been giving many people issues, especially with the installation time.


Is there an option to install the service pack when installing MAX like previously? I didn't see it when I installed (and that was the only way I got sp3 for 2014 to install). Any other ideas? All I could think of was uninstalling 2016 and reinstalling, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for any help.

Hi there

yes, installing SP takes a long time, but besides that we did not experience anything else.
I guess a clean install might solve your problem.

As for the long installation time, try using silent mode, it's described in the readme, installing takes 5 minutes instead of 30 then.
