I have a serious issue, so any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Huge render job due. Couldnt get MAX to see backburner, the install wasnt done right when combustion was put on this machine, so i figured I would uninstall it and reinstall from the MAX6 CD. Problem is, I just cant install just Backburner 2.2, I would have to uninstall and reinstall ALL of MAX 6 which I cant do right now due to all the custom paths and etc I have set up. Any one know how to do this from the CD without reinstalling MAX 6??

Thanks!
Marc

Hi.
Three ideas.
1- I once copied the backburner directory from one machine to the others, and after re-entering the correct IP's, it worked.
2- You can re-install your 3ds 6, after making a backup copy of the .ini files in the 3dsmax root directory and the complete UI folder. Just overwrite the ones installed by default.
3- 3ds 7 ships with a backburner stand alone installer. I guess you could get that one from any 3ds7 Cd (check if you need a license) or evendirectly from discreet.

Hope it helps.

thank you so much. All 3 of those sound like good solutions. I ended up trying a MODIFY of the max install and it successfully reinstalled the backburner files I needed. crisis averted.

thanks again! :)
