New error in 6.1

Often randomly fails once and then starts fine. Maybe a new timeout is too short?

The 3dsmax command line renderer, …\3dsmaxcmd.exe, hung during the verification of the 3ds max install
Try running 3dsmaxcmd.exe from the command line prompt to see if it pops up an error dialog or crashes, which is often the cause of this error message. If this is the case, there may be a problem with the Max install or with how it is configured. Sometimes reinstalling Max is the best solution.
