In Max 7 all the paths have changed and now there doesnt seem to be a separate app for the runtime, just "Max Runtime" script. Why is this? Why cant it just open like a normal app? Im trying to use applescript (like I always used to) to open up a maxpat automatically with the Runtime, but it wont work. I keep getting the error "Can't make blahblahblah::Max Runtime into type <>

Really frustrating to find out so many changes to the core folder structure of Max. What about apps that rely on the folder structure?

Cant even open a maxpat file with the Max Runtime using a batch file in windows... :?

How can I open a maxpat file automatically using the runtime, in OSX and Windows?

I basically cant open up a maxpat file automatically with batch command using the Max Runtime (which should work for every windows application???)

Also, when I click "Window> Max Console" nothing happens???

there is no max runtime anymore. it has finally been killed off. there is just max.

Frustrating - when I open patches with just "Max" it nags me to recover, but Max has never opened this patch before???

You don't need the runtime anymore, as anyone can now open and even edit any patcher with the plain Max version. However you just can't save modified patchers.

@Newtfish - are you windows? If so, contact support - this is a bug only 2 of us have seen so far and so C74 need more help tracking it down...

Will do, its happening in win and mac for me, im guessing its to do with the maxpat being saved by an older version.

Really frustrated with the Mac changes though. I can see there is a "Max Runtime" executable but I cannot open another file automatically with it. When I use the runtime, it opens exactly the same as the older version, it just doesnt have an .app file ending...

as has been stated, there is not runtime anymore. it's a single app.

does this mean I can delete the max runtime app then?

But the runtime does exist in the form of MaxRT.exe in Windows and "Max Runtime" executible file on OSX in Max 7

I need to use it, because there seems to be problems in my app with opening multiple Max.exe . Max Runtime runs smoothly as always.

I'm trying to open a file with the "Max Runtime" (which always used to work in previous versions), but now it just opens the runtime, it doesnt open up the file with the runtime.

MaxRT.exe "C:\Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 7\MyFile.maxpat"

Doesnt open the "MyFile.maxpat". Same behaviour on OSX as well.

So if I want to run a small maxpat on an iMac I have kicking around, I assumed I would install the maxpat and the Max 7 RTE.

Now I need to install the maxpat and Max 7 and just run the maxpat with an unregistered version of Max 7 that will not allow me to save.

What happened to Max 7 runtime in Mac OSX?
