Advanced Painter 1.6
Works fine with 3ds Max 2019. Drag and drop the advpainter_1.6.0.mzp doesn`t work.
Copy the file into the Scripts folder. From Scripting menu - Run the advpainter_1.6.0.mzp.
A pop up will inform you that it`s installed. Go to Customize and add it as a button.

did you download ver 1.5 or 1.6? coz 1.6 already net version tho , should be no problem tho.

ERROR max 2016 / Windows 10.
Hi,
same problem for me, impossible to install on 3dsmax 2016 / Windows 10 pro.
It looks like when you have an account on windows 10 even with admin right, you not have a real administrator access on some system files.
So that's why (in my opinion)you can not install ADV painter.
i found a solution: you have to activate the real adminsitrator account (with "net user" CMD on windows: take a look on google) and you have to boot on administrator session and give the good rights to your user account on the good folder and be able to install.
For me, i now work on the administrator session. Not the best way, but it solve the problem.
Windows 10 is good but hard to manage with those administrator rights.
Hope it helps. :)
Max.

Did you ever figure this out? I got the same error message...

3ds max 2016
Has anyone successfully installed this script in 3ds max 2016? Is this supposed to work on version 2016?
I tried several times like described, no luck.
How to completely delete this script?
I removed according to the instructions, but the menu category still remains.
Fix error
run as administration 3dsmax then run scripts to install
