I've just upgraded to Maya 2010 running on Windows 7 64bit and the maya run script is having a problem finding the home folder

This is what I get when I Run UVlayout

uvlayout_open;
//Error: uvlayout: Couldn't find the home folder 'C:Program Files/headus UVlayout v2 Professional'! Check definition in uvlayout_open.mel

Do I need to change path in the mel file?

I'm also I running windows as an administrator could this have an effect on why its not finding the home?

"Do I need to change path in the mel file?"

Yes. Because you're running 64bit XP, its most likely that your UVLayout install has gone into the "C:/Program FIles (x86)" folder.

In recent versions of the plugin MEL script, there's a commented out line for that path already, so just swap the leading "//" characters around to enable that line.

Hi Phil thanks for the quick reply.

Ive just had a look through the Mel file and I dont see "C:/Program FIles (x86)" at all.

Its the exact same mel file I used when I was running XP 64bit.

Where can the very latest Maya plugin be located?
I will reinstall the plugin just incase

cheers

Sorry, my mistake, I didn't read carefully enough ... I thought you were installing on XP.

I don't have Windows 7 running on any of our 64bit systems here, so cant check where it would be installing UVLayout by default. If you do a file system search for uvlayout.exe then that'll tell you where it is. That folder path is then the one that should go into the MEL file ... just make sure you swap the Windows back slashes "\" to Unix style forward slashes "/".

Interesting ... not sure why that would help, but I'm glad to hear that it did!
