Havok Exporter Install Error (solved)

[SkullKid2000]

I get this when trying to install the Havok Exporter (version 1.5.008)
I'm running Windows XP, no Service Packs, in VirtualBox. I've simply tried everything. Uninstalling, Reinstalling and Repairing. Nothing helps.

I know the issue and I know the fix... if I could remember :P

you have to delete some plugins but cannot recall which ones (Serge knows)

you just run a search for all plug ins with a particular name in the filename and delete then it will work

[SkullKid2000]

Do you need the Havok Exporter for 3ds Max 5.1 as well?

[JoeBlo]

mines all set up just needed to activate it

[SkullKid2000]

Ok. But you don't need the Havok Exporter for 3ds Max 5.1? Is it a built-in?

[JoeBlo]

yeah you do...

the Havok exporter and the component helper...

[Serge]

You don't need the Havok Exporter when using 5.1 (since it's already built in, and called Reactor), only when using 4.2.

If I recall well the difference between them is minimal, and the Gabriel GMA exporter works with both of them.

[JoeBlo]

hooray for confusion

you told me to delete stuff and install it for my 3DSM5 :P

[Serge]

Well, because it's the proper, vanilla, sure-fire way of exporting components :P.
