Demo 1.0 activation on DR-Slaves

[Ondra]

when i want to put the files in the max directory win7 says i don't have permission.

That is weird, there might be some issue such as improperly configured access rights - the installer is always run as administrator. Try unpacking in a different folder and then copying the files manually.

Hello,
Same problem for me on my workstation. Admin rights are OK with UAC off. When i install corona it says that 3dsmax is running.
If i try to unpack and past files, same thing, 3dsmax is running so can't proceed...
I have 3dsmax2014design, win7 64bit.
Can someone help me :/ ?

Krimson, do you find any solutions?

[Ondra]

It is possible some 3dsmax is still stuck and running, or that you have 3dsmax started by for example vray spawner.

You can press WinKey+R, type in

Code: [Select]

taskkill /T /F /IM 3dsmax.exe and press enter. This will kill all 3dsmax processes running at your computer. But note that this might kill any rendering jobs that might be running on the PC, as well as close all opened scenes without saving, so use it at your own risk

Thx keymaster, i'll try this when i come back home. Juste one question: where must i write this sentence? Windows? 3dsmax?
Hope that it works!

[Ondra]

press Windows key + R, you will see

[micmac]

it is not working... something else maybe?

[Ondra]

hm... make sure you run the installer as an administrator

[krimson]

yes it does

[krimson]

windows key r doesnt work
still a 3dsmax instance running

[micmac]

windows key r doesnt work
still a 3dsmax instance running

Same for me... even with administrator rights...

[Ondra]

in that case you have probably some other application running that keeps creating the 3dsmax process, possibly vray spawner. You can also try selecting "Just unpack" in the installer, specifying a folder, and then copying over files manually. YOu can maybe do this in the Windows Safe mode if you still get errors.

thx keymaster,
It works when you run install with safe mode (F8 during the windows start up).

hello,

installing in windows in safe mode works indeed.

The only problem is that i have another problem now: loopback connection.
See printscreen attached.
Can someone help me out?

Kind regards.
