CD-ROM Needed to Install Gmax?

[farejoint]

I had recently removed Gmax from my laptop but I decided to download it again but this time its telling me I need to insert a CD-ROM to install. I never have needed a CD-ROM so what does this mean?

Not sure where you got it from but you definitely do not need a cd-rom to install it.

I got it from the free downolad off of the turbosquid website that has gmax for free

I got my version of GMax from Turbosquid and installed it without a problem. Maybe your download is not complete or is corrupt so the installation files is asking for a CD to locate missing files? Delete what you have downloaded and get a fresh download and try a fresh install

Curious this is as my copy of Gmax wants to install Fraps. Which is strange. It was downloaded from Turbosquid also. Any ideas guys??

The version from the Turbosquid GMAX page (http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax) is fine - use the green Free Download button on the right.

It still didn't work. This is the message

That is unusual. Can I get you to PM me the address you downloaded it from?

Hmm, don't know if this is helpfull, but if I remember correctly MS Flightsimulator 2002 professional came with Gmax on CD-Rom.
Could it be somehow you've downloaded that version?

I downloaded from turbosquid, but it still only installs Fraps. I am running Windows 7 and installing as admin, but still no luck.

That's surprising - I'm guessing that the reason it didn't appear to do so on mine is I've probably already got Fraps installed.

Sometimes on these installers (especially ones that use OpenCandy) there is an option to prevent installation of extras.

Thats the problem Shane. I already have Fraps installed, which is rather puzzling. I'll have to have a look at my registry to see if something is amiss.

 

[shaneturner12]

I will also investigate that as well. Something does seem amiss.

Im getting it from the turbosquid website with the free download

Decided to use a registry cleaner and reinstall Gmax. Surprise it worked. Not to get down to some asset creating. It was definately a registry problem for me.Hope it works for others.
