Win7/MAX2014
I am returning to using AB after a long absence. I am having some problems with AB and decided to check for updates. I was running version 4.1.something and saw there was a 4.2.2 update. I decided to install the latest version to see if it resolved my problems.
(In years past, I thought the updates were in easy EXE installers). Using Control Panel>Programs, I uninstalled the Afterburn 4.1.something version.
I downloaded the 4.2.2 zipfile and extracted it. I saw a TXT file with instructions indicating copy these files here, those files there, etc. I did that.
Now when I start the AfterFLICS_tools.exe, it shows a license for AfterBurn 4.1.3 (shouldn't it show 4.2.2?).
I start MAX2014 and create some AB stuff... all seems to work fine and shows AB 4.2.2. But when I go to try to open the AB tutorials... they are now gone. And AB no longer shows as installed in Programs.
How do I get all my AB tutorials and sample files back? Do I have to install the older AB 4.1.something version EXE again and then do the 4.2.2 update without uninstalling the 4.1.?
What do I need to do on all the render nodes to get the 4.2.2 installed?... just the copying described in the TXT file?
Thanks!
