1) Make sure that you have your anti-virus turned off.
2) Check your User Account control settings and make sure they are off
3) Make sure that .Net 3.51 is installed.
4) A new fresh install can also solve any issue that might be present due to other apps installed after MAX has been installed.
5) When doing batch updates be sure to stop data collection or other 3rd party apps that might be running or that might be using MAX files in the client folders.
6) Make sue there are not any restrictive permissions settings that might be preventing MAX from running. Set Modify for Users.
7) Install as local Admin or admin on workstation.
8) Group policies that might be interfering with installation or the lay-in update of files for MAX.
This is not necessarily a complete list but should be helpful in debugging most issues.
