Fix 3ds max 2014 runtime error
Put a HCGAB folder also in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\
This is a folder from the Customize Menu > Configure System paths, in 3ds Max. The address may vary according to different users. The error says there is no such folder in this location. So put that folder there in order to be found.
Same error
An Issue for this ? :c
