''An error occured during the installation of the assembly component [98CB24AD-52FB-DB5F-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E} HRESULT: 0x800736b3.''

Is the error everybody receives. Also, in the intallation window it snags at about 3/4 statin that is't installing ''publishing product information''.

Older versions of MAX get the same error during installation. It's notable that people with windows 8 (not 8.1) do not get this error.

You could try installing the ilok license manager from ilok.com

This will update the Pace drivers on your system.

If that doesn't work have your IT guy get in touch with us in support - it sounds like there may be some kind of clash going on with some software component you all have installed
