Installer for 2014

Please update the installer for max 2014.
It works perfectly in 2014, so you don't have to change the plugin.
Thank you.

Fix found!

I resolved this issue by updating registry key.
Just run it and after installation will see your 3ds Max 2012.

for 2012 and 2013...

for max 2012 and 2013 as I said I didn't yet test it so the installer may cause problem

the installer use registery key to detect 3ds max installation 9 to 2011 have the same registery key I don't know if this is changed for 2012...

so you have to do manual installation...just copy files manually (instruction are in manual installation folder)
about g1.bmp and g2.bmp I have attach them to this comment...

thanks for your interest...

Not working with max2012 or max2013

The installer fails for me saying I don't have a correct version.
I am running max 2012 and 2013, not design, so I don't see what the problem is.
Win7, admin, etc.
Any suggestions?
