mc.usb not installing correctly

Hi,

I just tried to install mc objects into max (3 times) and each time the following has occurred:

1.  only the mc.usb object has a .mxo

2. the help files are not found

3. when I go to open the help files manually (directly), they open as garbled numbers and letters.

I placed all the files according to the rtf. instructions.  I have 0SX 4.11.  Has anyone else had any issues?  if so, have you gotten around them?

Thanks,

Suzanne

Only mc.usb is an mxo external, so that's expected. The others are Max abstractions.

Can't imagine why the help files are not found if they're in the right place - can you confirm exactly where you've put them?

Which version of Max are you using? When you say the help files open as garbled numbers, what application are they opening up in? in Max itself, or a text editor or something like that?

Lisa, I put the help files in the help section of max, just as instructed by the rtf instructions. 

I have 4.6 version of Max. 

The help files look as if they are opening in text edit, but i believe they are opening in Max.

Curious, no? 

as for the other objects, if they aren't mxo's then why are they there?  how are they useful?

I appreciated your help.  It's a good resource!

Liam,

I figured it out.  I was using an old version of Stuffit, and the files weren't being unpacked correctly.

All is well, and thanks for the suggestions!

Best,
