Doesn't run on x64. Way to design for the future MS!

I used to be frustrated like you being on x64 then I switched back cause it was never worth the switch and so much stuff isn't supported correctly.

I guess the words "Codename" and "Beta" and "System requirements" aren't clear enough.

I guess the words "design for the future" aren't clear either. Being an actual developer myself, I more than understand what a beta is, and I also know that there is no reason not to do concurrent development of an x64 build.

True, and I'm not really frustrated. It's rare that something doesn't work on x64, most programs will run still, and I built a system that will have no problems with drivers, so I'm fine. The only reason I even say anything was because of what they were saying in the keynote today about moving up to new platforms such as x64, and yet some of these key technological showcases that they are producing to show off what they are working on don't even work on the future of the computing which they tout.

In the end, I really don't care. It's not much of a program, just something to show off WinFX. I can write something similar myself to do that :yes:

Is there a "Microsoft Max Setup" shortcut on your desktop? If so, double-click it.

If you want to install Max on non Windows XP English machines you can do the following:

1. Open Regedit

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language

3. Change the values of the keys "Default" and "InstallLanguage" to 0409

4. Reboot

5. Install Microsoft MAX

6. Undo the modifications you did in step 3

7. Reboot

Enjoy this awesome program! :D
