Important Notice for Deadline® 2.7 and 3.x Users
With Deadline 3.x, you may need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable to run the Slave application (you will be notified of this when you start up the Slave). You may also need to install this redistributable if you are rendering 3ds Max jobs with Deadline 2.7 or 3.x. If you have both 3ds Max 32 bit and 64 bit on the same machine, you should run both installers.
