Thanks

Thank you!

@tassel...
I have totally forget 3ds max design :(
the installer read value from registry key and test if there is a compatible 3ds max version installed on your machine.

3ds max (normal) has the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Autodesk\3dsmax\

however 3dsmax design has the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\3dsMaxDesign\

this is why the installer didn't work...I will create one for 3ds max design in a later time.
