[Closed] Is Max SDK for student version?

Does anybody have experience with this?

check the trial download
extract and look for the SDK install package ( *.msi file )
You will need that and Visual studio and some good amount of energy and patience during the warmup phase

Awesome, I’ll check that as soon as I get home. I noticed at home there was no “max sdk” folder. But at work there is. I’ll follow your advice.
And yes, you need the patience of a monk with this. It’s taking me sooooo long to get started cause all the walls I keep running into.
Thanks for the tip!

The SDK is usually on the Tools section of the installer and it’s not installed by default, you might want to check that in the student version.

I will soon be doing some posts on my blog on how to setup some basic stuff with C# and the Max SDK so stay tuned!

You’re welcome, have fun and please share with us your findings Take care!

I haven’t had the chance to do any programming using the wizard just yet. However, here is a tip that may or may not be of use. In windows 7, when you download files that are from another machine, it may mark them as “blocked” as a sort of security measure for the user (as it did in my case). If you follow the readme file in the zip it will tell you, make absolute path, copy .ico, .vsdir, vsz files to the vcproj folder…etc. Well when you do this, you have to go into the .html files and in their properties “unblock” the files for VS to display the gui correctly. It should be default.html, page1.html, page2.html.

Hopefully that makes sense. I’ll try to better explain if not. But this took me quite a while to figure out and it was quite frustrating. But now it seems to be working correctly. The next challenge will be putting my novice programming skills to work.

Hope that was useful.

Yeah, totally, that’s a great tip

I don’t do any C++ but I have built my own C# templates and I prefer to stick with that rather than using the wizard.
