GMax site. And it couldn't have been. I downloaded GMax when SS's tutorial appeared, which wasn't that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing is to get Windows Installer 3.1 It's working for me and maybe can solve your problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Are you using a Windows Vista machine? Also, someone giving you their install would be illegal AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Beside, Gmax must be installed and not copyed. A copy of installed program will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Also, paying a visit to the support section on the GMax site might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Do you have another computer? Try a fresh download and install on another computer. (If you have one) It could be your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Are you using a Windows Vista machine? Also, someone giving you their install would be illegal AFAIK. It's a free program (that's not even supported anymore). _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's a free program (that's not even supported anymore). _EW_ You have to register the software upon download. Also, the GMax documentation states that redistribution is not permitted without permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishladdy08 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 no idea...i cant find it anywere :s unless i missed something o.o i just copied my question here to there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 could any1 send me a .rar copy of there installed version? It is not a matter of copyrights. Gmax MUST be installed. A copy of installed program on another computer is not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolprogram Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hmm... I think I got this problem one time. Try deleting everything that you have for GMAX go to control panel add/remove software uninstall GMAX, then go into your documents and Delete GMAX... Then try to install it again, if that fails, try deleting everything all over again and downloading the installer again and install it that way. Also make sure you have the SP (Service Pack(s)) Also make sure that you have enough space on your hard drive. If the problem persists, download an older version or contact the maker of GMAX (Discreet also try contacting turbosquid)... You can find the download at http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax Hope this helps some, -CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishladdy08 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 were can i download older versions? i can only seem to find the one version 1.2 and that doesnt work...and oldflash what do you mean by ''A copy of installed program on another computer is not working.'' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I don't think you can download older versions. And I think oldflash means copies don't work because you need the registry entries too. I think this thread should be moved to the Tech Forum or possibly T3-M4's Astromech Droid Center, as it's not mod related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishladdy08 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 may i ask...what registry entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 When software is installed on your computer the installation process adds registry keys to your computer's registry. If you don't know anything about the registry, just take our word for it that these keys are necessary for the software to function, so it must be installed normally.

irishladdy08 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 o ok but i cant seem to understand this error message...im even down graded my windows installer and it still seems to cancel it self...it keeps saying it has ended prematurely :/ EDIT:Question...is there anyway i can manualy get the zipped programs from the gmax installer from a progrma like winRAR to manually install the program or preform a desktop install?
