Max Installation Seems to be broken

Post by cpyatak » Thu Feb 08, 2018 11:03 pm

Hi folks,

So I am unable to access any of the M4L devices. (I do have 10 Suite). If I load a device a block will show up in the track but it will say the Max installation seems to be broken. It then directs me to the preferences window in the file folder tab, to configure Max path, but there is no straightforward thing to change. Am I supposed to load Max into my plugins folder? I thought Max was supposed to be fully integrated? Feeling a bit frustrated here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Weird, Max is now contained in the Live application content itself, so you don't need a separate Max software installed.
1st I'd do is to re-download and re-install Live. Maybe something broke during the installation process.
If you're still running into the same issue, then contact support@ableton.com
