Just upgraded to Max 12 and I get the failed to initialize errors on startup when I've put the 3 plugins into the plugins folder in Max 12. All I can think to be wrong is that I'm using the 64 bit version of Max 12 and the error message states that the .dlu files are not valid Win32 applications. I didn't really have a choice, Autodesk's installer sort of just installed the 64 bit version without asking me which I'd prefer.
