I have a major problem with the newest version of Max/MSP/Jitter and I'm quite surprised not to find this problem in another post.

I'm working on Windows XP and try to install MAX 5.0.8 with the windows installation file "Max5_40057.zip". The beginning of the installation works out fine, but after it says "copying new files" and the other things (when the bar is full) the installation just stops and does not do anything. It does not say "not responding" in the task manager so the only option I have is to cancel the installation and restart the computer. 

And now the funny part comes: After restarting the computer, Max 5.0.8 is installed properly and everything works fine. but after ten days or so (I didn't count) Max 5 disappears from my computer as if I had de-installed it. This happened to me three times now and I'm tired of repeating the procedure again and again.

I'm thankful for every help you can give. My Computer configurations are found below. Thanks.

This might be the dreaded RME firewire network adapter hang.

It seems you were right about the fireface issue. i removed the fireface drivers from my computer and now the installation finishes correctly. Thx a lot.

I will write again if MAX wanishes again against overwhelming odds.
