Anyone else got the same problem i have? Cant even install it, just gives me a "Installation ended prematurely" error :/
Tried burning it, tried mounting it, tried disabling my firewall/antivirus/antispyware crap, tried everything.
Running winxp pro sp2. I never usually have any problems like this. Any toughts?

By, the way, this is the error message I get:

Error 1920. Service 'RaySat_3dsmax8 Server'
(mi-raysat_3dsmax8) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

EDIT: Seek and ye shall find, solution here:

Did you try erasing any registry keys that might have been left over from previous versions, or demo/prerelease version of max 8.

I had no install error what so ever, but I did uninstall my previous 3ds max version. I didn't cleanup any registry.


If you hate it, ignore it.

Fixed it!
If nothing else works, as in disabling antiviruses, antispyware etc, and if it isnt the same error as the raysat error, then make sure you have a file called services in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

The files you should have there are;
hosts.ics
lmhosts.sam
networks (no file extension)
protocol (no file extension)
services (no file extension)

I only had the hosts file there! The support dude tought it was very wierd, so he advised me to check any other computers in my house, copy the files from them, and paste in my computer. And guess what, it works!
Kinda fuuckin odd, that the reason for 1 installation of 1000 that i have installed since i got winxp dont work because of some files that i never ever had in the first place, lol!
Never ever had those files in my entire winxp experience, i didnt have them when i was running stock win xp pro, i didnt have them after service pack 1, i didnt have them after countless formats and reinstallations of the service pack 1 edition, not even after service pack 2.

nFeri, are you sure you entered the complete request code?

I had the same problem because I copy/past the request code.
Since the code was on 2 lines it didn't copy the entire request code and I got the "INVALID REQUEST CODE!" message.

When I copied the rest of the code the problem was gone, obviously... Wink
