Materials Installer Problem

[Mark Brinkman]

I'm an old Accurender 3.1 user from years ago and just getting started with nXt. The one thing missing is a material library. I've downloaded the nXtMaterials.msi install file and attempted to run it, but I continually get an error message saying "could not access network location...\MyDocuments\\AccuRender nXt Materials."

 

No matter if I create a folder in the "my documents" folder with that name, or run the program from that location; always the same result.  Also not sure why the error message has a double backslash "\\" before the "Accurendet nXt Materials".

 

In any case, I am in a rush to produce something and a good selection of materials would be a great time saver. Any help in installing these materials would be apprecaited.

just try to open .msi package using 3rd party software and copy materials to the location of your choice - you can load them from there

I didn't know you could use 3rd party apps to open an msi file. Anny suggestions on what to use? A google search gets me chasing my tail with command line options on the msi installer and other programming tools.

If you're uncomfortable running an admin install from the command line, you could try this one (I just did, it worked fine.)

 

You could also wait for me to get this figured out-- I didn't write the installer so I'm not sure what's up here.  We should probably just have a .zip format one available for folks also.

Thanks! That worked!
