Windows installation

The 3ds Max FBX Plug-in is available for Windows.

To install the 3ds Max FBX Plug-in:

1. Exit 3ds Max.
   NoteIf you install the 3ds Max FBX Plug-in while 3ds Max is operating, the installation cannot occur. You will receive an “Error opening file for writing” message.
   NoteIf you have previously installed older versions of the FBX Plug-ins, you may need to manually remove these plug-in files. These files are removed automatically during the installation process, but if you receive an error or warning when you run the plug-in, check for older versions of the plug-in files and remove them manually. To do so, search and delete the following files: fbxmaxexp.dle and fbxmaximp.dli.

   The current FBX Max plug-in is named fbxmax.dlu and should be the only installed FBX Plug-in.

7. The next window shows the recommended installation location for the plug-in documentation. To specify another location, click Browse to launch the file browser.

   

8. Click Install.
9. A series of dialog boxes appear asking if you would like to keep older versions of the plug-in (if applicable), open the plug-in documentation or view the read me file. Select Yes or No for each of these options.
