Title: Asking for advice Max 2016 have issues installing service packs?
Post by: medico6601 on 2017-09-28, 20:21:35

Hi there

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.

Thanks for the introduction.

I had the same issues, never got it resolved. Tried everything I could think of to overwrite/take control of permissions, etc, to no avail. I can't recall if you can install the service pack during normal installation, but if so I probably tried that too with no luck. Went back to 2014 because of that, along with sluggish performance and bug issues on my office machine.
