Plug-in error for 3ds Max

[ramplayer]

Realflow 2012 installed successfully...getting following error using plug-in for 3ds Max Design 2012 (64 bit). Have done internet search and redownloaded plugin file through the Next Limit Gateway several times. The error appears very early into the Plugin setup.

Thanks

Hey,

It means you are not installing the right plugin for your 3dsmax. Make sure you are installing the 64 bits version instead the 32 bits version. Both version are in the same plugin.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I am pretty sure that I am installing the correct version.

I am going to the page titled SELECT 3D STUDIO MAX DIRECTORIES (64 BIT) and then chosing Max 2012 and entering the directory for 3dsMaxDesign. Then I see that the components are ticked for Max 2012 (64 bit) and Visual ++ Redistributable Packages. I then click Install and the same error message appears. It does give me the option of skipping and continuing without installing the realflow.dlu.

Is this something I can manually download? Is there a difference between 3d Max and 3D MaxDesign (which is what I am using), for the RF plugin?

May have solved the problem. I was not using the correct directory and subdirectory routing for the RF plugin to locate 3ds max design 2012.
