If VS 2005 is already installed, MAX breaks VS2005. After I successfully installed MAX I wasn't able to create any kind of VS projects!!

The last days I tryed to install Max on my Windows machine, but I said something about an language error. I read through the install site and it said 'No international versions - only english'. Please would you be so kind to finish an european version?

Another solution

To install this product on non-english Versions of Windows, just unzip the installation file with a tool like WinRar. Then edit the update.inf in the folder update. Remove the part %LangTypeValue% and save it.

Now you must be really quick, cause the installer checks the integry of the update.inf. And if it's changed, the install will fail.

Now, open the folder update and the file update.inf. Recopy the part %LangTypeValue%.

DON'T save it.

Open the install file (update.exe) and save the update.inf in its original form with Ctrl + s.

If it fails retry.

Now you should be able to install Max on non-english systems.

Hi!

MAX is not compatible with the VS2005 Release Candidate? As the Win Presentation Framework September CTP fails installing appearantly...

Hope this will be fixed soon :-)

Great product!!

I'm worried about breaking my computer if I install Max.

I need my laptop for demonstrations and development. I rely heavily on the 1.1 NET Framework.

Also I use VS 2003.

Is it safe to Install MAX?

I will take a sick leave and try to install on my home computer.

*cry*

Worked, thanks for the information.

Racpong,

There is a tool available for cleaning up .NET betas. You can find it here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=47065. Be aware that this will also remove Visual Studio betas.

Thanks,

re: Visual Studio 2005 support

The Visual Studio 2005 RC that was released at the PDC depends on a newer version of the .NET Framework that WinFX Runtime Components depends on.

Unfortunately, the 2 are not compatible.

Updates to Max and WinFX that support a compatible version of .NET are in the works. Stay tuned.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was so much looking forward to installing this program. A language error occurred because my pc runs a different basic language. What should I do? The English version is more than welcome but I can't download it.
Thank you.

I have tried to install the Max program as I am excited about the program. I get no errors when installing and then when I try to open the program I get the message that an error has occurred and that Max does not know what the error is. I have tried all of the tips that were listed in the instalation guide and have uninstalled everything and re-installed with the same results. Any suggestions???

CAUTION VS2005 USERS - "Max" will make your VS2005 unusable. I'm using the RTM version of VS2005 and .NET 2.0. Max didn't properly install, and after that, I could not open any projects in VS2005.

I did a repair installation on the .NET 2.0 Framework, and this solved my problem.
