Re: : New & info

Just thought I would tell you why this happened.  It happened to me, so I had to
figure out why.  It has nothing to do with PLE version, it's just something
whacked with the download.

Before you run the tools setup exe, Open up your Temp directory c:\documents
& settings\<your login>\Local Settings\Temp in Windows Explorer

Then, run the installation.  While running and when it hits the error, you
should see a new file <something>.msi appear in your Temp directory.  It
will be named a sequence of numbers and letters, generated at random, I think.

Copy that msi file to your c:\ drive and then let the installation fail and
exit.

Now, open a command window (start -> run -> "cmd")

Assuming that msi is called "42ef3b91.msi", and that you want to
install it to c:\program files\Autodesk\MayaBonusTools7.0, then type:

42ef3b91.msi INSTALLDIR="c:\program files\Autodesk\MayaBonusTools7.0"

This will install the bonus tools to that location.  Feel free to change the
install location to whatever you like.

Just thought I would be helpful.  Basically, the wrapper installation is failing
to pass the INSTALLDIR variable to the internal msi, so it's failing to install
anywhere.  We're just getting directly to the internal installer and running it
directly.
