Admin Rodney Posted January 5, 2008 Admin Posted January 5, 2008 I got the exta cd with A:M 2007 but i just put it in and it started installing A:M 2006! What has happened. Elliot, You'll have to be a bit more specific here. Neither the Extra CD or Extra DVD install A:M (A:M isn't on the disk to be installed) so you are experiencing something else. The following is guesswork on my part but the only thing that makes sense to me based on your description. I would guess that you are clicking on a model or project and it is trying to Open A:M 2006 (You perhaps had 2006 installed or still do on that computer?). If this is the case then your operating system is seeing files with the .MDL or .PRJ extension as belonging to A:M 2006 rather than A:M 2007. To have the files open in A:M 2007 you should right click on the file and reassociate the files with A:M 2007... or... launch A:M 2007 and then open the model or project from there. If this isn't your problem start a new topic and we'll explore it further. Quote
elliotclem1 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks for your reply but i think there was a problem. As when i put the disc into my pc it says A:M 2006 see pic below: am.bmp I have two disc drives the top one is the A:M cd and the bottom one is the Extra Cd. I think there must have been a manual problem somewhere down the line. Elliot Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 6, 2008 Admin Posted January 6, 2008 My apologies Elliot. I'm trying to understand. The Extra DVD was created in 2006 so perhaps that is what you are talking about. Its full title would have something like: "A:M 2006 Extra DVD" What the drive title is is not as important as whats on it though. Is the content on it the Extra data or the A:M application? If it is indeed the A:M 2006 application then someone at the pressroom misprinted the CD. Right Click and choose 'Explore' if your system's autorun is launching. I thought A:M now shipped with the Extra DVD so... I'm not sure why you have two CDs. Toss us a screen shot of the contents of the CD. Quote
elliotclem1 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 OK here is the contents of the CD. it is am 2006 i am sure of it! The cd is labled: Animation Master Thousands of donated items including models, actions, materials, and tutorials Extra Cd Volume One Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 7, 2008 Admin Posted January 7, 2008 I'd suggest working with Hash Inc to get it replaced. That or keep it as a collectors item. Quote
elliotclem1 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 Who should i contact to get it replaced. By the way are the tutorials on it different to the free exercise tutorials on your website or are they the same? Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 8, 2008 Admin Posted January 8, 2008 By the way are the tutorials on it different to the free exercise tutorials on your website or are they the same? I don't have a website (I assume you mean Hash Inc's) and I'm not sure what is on the 2006 CD that you have at the moment so I really can't say. Sorry. That is why I suggest you contact Hash Inc. If the content is standard A:M 2006 content then 'no' I don't believe it contains the same tutorials as on the Hash Inc site. The tutorials on the Hash Inc site are mostly video tutorials for use with TaoA:M. As far as I know they have never been included on the A:M CD. (They have been included on one of the SIGGRAPH DVDs though). I'm not sure what you have on the CD in question so I can't definitively say. You haven't told us yet beyond a look at the root folders. From here it certainly looks like a regular 2006 CD that has been mislabeled. For all I know the content differs too. Who should i contact to get it replaced. support@hash.com (is the most likely place) Added: If you don't mind running a batch file (a little directory listing utlity I created) you could unzip the contents of the attached file and run it. It will create a text file on your C: drive named 'MyAMCDcontents.txt'. You could then attach it here in the forum. *Warning*: I do not suggest running files that you don't know the content of or from people you don't know or trust. The batch file is a text file with a .bat extension. This makes the text file an executable program that will run in Windows. The contents of the file are as follows: @echo off dir e:\*.* /s /b >c:\\MyAMCDcontents.txt The first line turns off reporting to the screen The second line runs a directory listing of contents on your E:drive and places it in a file named "MyAMCDcontents.txt" on your harddrive. The /s tells the command to search all subfolders and directories. The /b tells the command to list only basic information. (i.e. filename and extension). The > (greater than sign) pipes/sends the information into the target text file. If you have any questions just ask. cdDirectoryListing.zip Quote

No i ment the tutorials on the REAL extra content dvd / cd. That batch didnt work I put the extra disk in the E:\ drive and it does nothing. Where does it save the text file Quote
