In fact, I don't know how to arrive to that particular screen "Configure Installation", in which you can select the NVIDIA mentalray plugin installation. The screenshot I've posted is not taken from my computer, I found it in Internet. I don't see any installation package inside my hard disk?
In fact, I even have searched *mental*.* to see any file I could have inside my hard disk with the words mental in any part of it, and I don't have the file you told me. Hi, I've been searching the whole hard disk C: and and nothing, I don't have any Mentalray2017.msi file. This should fix all issues ( theoretically ) In the window that opens you can select "Repair or reinstall" The second option to trigger a full 3ds Max repair, simply open the "Control panel->Programs and Features", select "Autodesk 3ds Max 2017" and click Uninstall/Change. This would simply appear in the dialog that opens after you double click the "Mentalray2017.msi" in the above mentioned folder In case you installed using the webinstaller ( only option when doing a trial install ), i guess this might be another reason for the folder being empty. I thought this folder would have been kept intact after installation and extraction, but i might be wrong here, as i delete this folder myself always manually after install. Now regarding the empty "c:\Autodesk" folder: Mental ray is now an extra installation option, but AFAIK it is checked by default, anycase - you would'nt have the other mental ray related files there if it wasn't checked. So if you don't have exactly the file "mentalray.dlz" without any other extension in your Plugins\NVIDIA folder, your mental ray installation is incomplete. The *.mui files are - as you expected - only the language related files of the plugins.
I do not know how to tackle a repair, I don't see any option in the installation file setup.exe giving you the option for a repair.īy the way in this blog says that mentalray is now installed as a separate subcomponent. I had installed Maya 2016 and uninstalled it. This is the first time I've installed Max in this computer. The extracted installation folder, don't have inside anything about Max, it is just empty.
I am using English, so yes, I have the file and the folder is:Ĭ:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\Plugins\NVIDIA\Plugins\en-US I have this file in all the languages the software is provided, english, french, german, etc. I do have the file mentalray.dlz, in fact I have the file. I've just pressed that button, the installation finished, and now I see I cannot see the mentalray render engine. I only had a big button, saying Install on this computer. When I've installed Max 2017 I did not have any box to tick the installation of the mentalray plugin.
