This is an example host configuration script that downloads and installs 3dsMax 2025,
V-Ray for 3dsMax 2025 and tyFlow for 3dsMax 2025
You can configure a Windows Service-Managed Fleet to use this host configuration to
render your 3dsMax 2025 + V-Ray + tyFlow jobs.
This script was tested with the 3dsMax 2025.2, V-Ray 7 update 1, tyFlow for 3dsMax 2025 installers.

Requirements:
- S3 bucket to host 3ds Max 2025, V-Ray and tyFlow installers
- Your fleet role must have permissions to s3:GetObject both the installer files from your S3 bucket.
