Gmax reinstall

[FSV1142 Kenny]

Hi.

My computer crashed this week I had to reinstall windows.

I've got everything back up and running just fine, but I have a problem with Gmax. I ran the install from FS2004's CD, ran the fs2004_sdk_bglcomp2_setup, fs2004_sdk_gmax_setup, and makemdl_sdk_setup. Gmax comes up just fine I can make and save the projects, but when I try to export the modle this pops up.

I don't know what I did wrong here. Does anyone here know what this is and how to fix it???

Thanks for your time and help.

Hi, Kenny....

I think your problem is with the MSXML4.dll itself, not the overall GMax setup. I had similar difficulties a while back. As I recall, I got around it by finding a leftover MSXML4.dll in the system somewhere. The new installation wouldn't install a second, identical, .dll so it threw up that error message.

I can't guarantee anything, but you might try doing a file search for MSXML4.dll. If you find it, delete it and try the GMax installation again.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Glenn

I just tried a search for MSXML4.dll and did not find anything. I think it's missing or something.

Hi,
I just tried typing that 'msxml4.dll' in the google box and there are lots of responses to what seem to be similar problems as you are having.
good hunting,
Andy.

Thanks again for your help with getting gmax back up. I've found a new problem.

If I open the FS2004 gemax exe, everything works fine. I can create and export the model now just fine, but when I click on the gmax material editor icon nothing happens.

Just to see want would happen I ran just the regular gmax exe and I was able to bring up the gmax material editor.

Does it matter which of the gmax exe's that I use?

Hi,

It depends. There is no "FS2004 gmax.exe file". You should be using latest GMAX v1.2 for all versions of the FS gamepack you have installed.

Hope this helps,
