Error when installing Power Nurbs 2 Demo on max 8

[ethereal999]

Hello,

when I install Power NURBS 2.0 Demo on max 8 (SP3, 32bit) the installer tells me:
"Feature transfer error: Feature: Power NURBS, Component: License File, File:
C:\Autodesk\3dsMax8\nPowaf23.rra, Error: The parameter is incorrect."

What's wrong ? Can anybody help ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a version that you can try which will probably get around the install problems. The version is for Max 9 32 bit, but I'll make one for Max 8 (and others) if this works.

Unzip the following file into the 3ds Max directory
www.IntegrityWare.com/ccc/R271_install.zip

Unzip the following file into the C:/winnt/system32 or C:/windows/system32 directory
www.IntegrityWare.com/ccc/R271_system.zip


Please give me feedback. Does this work?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are working franticly on trying to solve the .rra install error. It is only occurring on certain systems making it that more difficult to track.

If you find this post and are having the install issue please help us by supplying the following:

• Error produced by install:
• nPower Software version:
• 64 or 32 bit hardware
• Operating system:
• Version of 3ds Max:
• If 3ds Max 9 32bit or 64bit:
• 3ds Max Service Pack:
• 3ds Max Plug-in config directory path:*
• Current: Virus Software

***Example S:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 9\plugins


Thank you for your help in solving this issue

Dave or Gary,

do you have any ideas on this one?

It sounds like the install file is corrupt. I would try downloading and installing it again. If that doesn't work, contact us and we can get you a different installer.

[npower_Gary]

Are you using demo of version 2.40?

npower_Gary
I used the installer named Install_PNSTMax78_R230_Demo.exe
so I think it's version 2.30 (the link from downloading page points on that file)
If i'm right, where can I download 2.40 demo

Can you call Dave on Monday or E-mail him at dgill@npowersoftware.com? Have him give you 2.40, it has
a new license manager.

I downloaded version 2.40, but during the install I got the same error...
Any ideas ?

I would try uninstalling Power NURBS from the add/remove programs dialog. Then verify that all nPower* files are deleted from the 3dsmax root directory. Also, make sure the "nPowerSoftware" folder and its contents are deleted, as well as "BrepObject.dlo" and "BrepObjectBonus1.dlo" files are deleted from the plugins folder. That should remove all the files, and hopefully that will fix the error.

I would also make sure that you don't have virus checking software or firewall software that is blocking the installation.

Has this issue been adressed yet? It seems not, because i get the same error message (component license, parameter not found - i think)when i try to install power nurbs for max 9 32b(230 demo version).
Firewall disabled ofcourse, as with previos powernurbs installations that wasn't the case here.
Please, can we have a working installer?

[npower_Gary]

I am not quite sure what to do. Lots of people have
been using that installer for a quite a while without
issues. It appears to be something on a few systems
that gives a problem. If we send you some installs
next week, can you give them a quick test to see if
the problem still exists. It works fine on our
systems.

Hi Gary!
It's really awkward and I don't know what to say actually. But if I wouldn't
have ruled out all the possibilities of my system (that I could think of) somehow conflicting with the installer I would have postponed, of course, my request here
and investigated the issue in more detail.
And surely, I'd be very glad to have a go at whatever you think would work.
Just let me know if my email is visible to you.

Hmm, if its a licence problem, could it be something to do with 'npower_SOFTWARE_licence.ini' or something like that in the root folder of 3DS?

[q_vazk]

Could be! You can never be sure, although i don't understand what you would suggest us to if that would be the case.

[Pleiades]

Hmm, well to start, is it actually there hahaha? (Im not saying you are ******, just Im not sure if your post implies if it is or isnt there). Moreover if it is there, is it in the right directory?
