Installing Autodesk 3ds Max 2009

• 
  Before an end-user with restricted Windows^® operating system privileges can run Autodesk 3ds Max 2009, an administrator with full privileges must install and start the software one time in order to generate the Windows^® operating system registry information needed to complete the install.
  

• 
  Before installing any third-party plug-ins for Autodesk 3ds Max 2009, an administrator with full privileges must start 3ds Max 2009 at least one time to generate the necessary folders for third-party plug-ins.
  

• 
  On the Windows Vista^® operating system users must first turn off User Access Control (UAC) before attempting to install 3ds Max 2009.
  

• 
  To work properly on the Windows Vista operating system, the InfoCenter feature requires that 3ds Max 2009 must be started once with UAC turned off.
  

• 
  When you install on the Windows Vista operating system, a red “x” appears when the installer reaches “.Net 2.0 SP1.” This happens because this update applies only to the Windows XP operating system. The ".Net 2.0" service pack is already included in the Vista operating system, so the XP version is not installed.
  

• 
  If you install 3ds Max to a drive other than your system’s main C: drive, you need to copy the InfoCenter XML support files from the \help directory on the installation CD to your C: drive. The directory depends on which version of 3ds Max you are using, as follows:

  Windows XP operating system, 32-bit version:

  
  C:\Documents and Settings\ \Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2009 - 32bit\enu\plugcfg\Infocenter\XmlFiles
