How to install Lightwave

If you want to install Lightwave from the files I gave you follow these steps:

1.- Install Daemon Tools.

Visit this page and click on Download
http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon

Once you've downloaded the file, run it. You have a nice installation guide here:
http://wiki.wsu.edu/ctowiki/Installing_and_Using_Daemon_Tools

2.- Mount the Lightwave image. (the lightwave_seven.iso file)

If the installation doesn't start authomatically enter the folder "Install_Lightwave" and double click on "setup.exe". After a few screens you'll get to a screen where you can choose the kind of installation you want, typical, minimal, or custom. Choose the custom install and check all boxes.

3.- Update Lightwave

In the Lightwave folder you'll find a folder called "LW75bUpdate". Inside it, there is a file called "LightWave75b.exe". Double click on the file to run it and it will update Lightwave to the 7.5 version.

4.- Apply the patch

Inside the "LW75bUpdate" folder there is a folder called "LightWave3D_v7.5b crack". Enter the folder and move the "LightWave3D_7.5b_WebUpdate_crack.exe" file to the "Programs" folder in your Lightwave install folder (if you haven't changed it, it'll probably be "C:\LightWave_3D_7.0", so you should have to move it to the "C:\LightWave_3D_7.0\Programs" folder). Once there, double click on "LightWave3D_7.5b_WebUpdate_crack.exe", and in the window opened click on "Apply Patch"

And that should be it. If you have any problems don't be afraid to ask questions.

  2. Hi Victor, I've gotten up to the last part of installation. When i click apply patch it comes up with lightwav.exe : missing or already open, and how lightwav. exe not found in current directory. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

    Maybe i'm just stupid

    Thanks :)

  3. Don't worry, it seems to be a common problem. For some reason it worked well in my computer but it gives that same message on every other computer.

    Try to download this and replace your exe files:
    http://ifile.it/z60o52w/lightwav.exe
    http://ifile.it/ivpfawl/modeler.exe

    They are cracked so, in theory, they should work but if they don't I'll bring a solution next week.
