, I tried to reinstall maya, but that didn’t change it, so I’ll have to live with it.OK…here goes.
1. I put the GIJoe_icon.bmp in the folder C:\AW\Maya4.0\extras\icons (as instructed in the pixho.com instructions)
2. I put the GI_Joe.mel and GIJoe.lights files in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\chris\maya\4.0\scripts
3. I opened the file GI_Joe.mel in ConTEXT, went to the line 57 [which is string $pathL = "e:/vfx/mans/maya/scripts/GIJoe.lights"; ] and changed the path in that line to "C:\Documents and Settings\chris\maya\4.0\scripts\GIJoe.lights"; – that’s where it’s GIJoe.lights file is.
4. In maya I typed: source GI_Joe;
GI_Joe;
I pressed Alt+Enter to execute and the GI_Joe preload window appears.
5. I close the GI_Joe preload window and highlight the text entered in point 4. and drag it into the shelf and give it a name [GI_Joe]
6. I press the GI_Joe shelf icon and the GI_Joe preload window appeared.
7. I clicked Go Create and the following message appeared in the script editor: // Error: File not found.: C: Documents and Settingschrismaya4.0scriptsGIJoe.lights //
I tried all the following commands to get the slashed to appear:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\chris\\maya\\4.0\\scripts\\GIJoe.lights
C:\Documents and Settings\chris\maya\4.0\scripts\GIJoe.lights
C://Documents and Settings//chris//maya//4.0//scripts//GIJoe.lights
C:/Documents and Settings/chris/maya/4.0/scripts/GIJoe.lights
Each time I executed this command I got this syntax error: // Error: Syntax error //
Well, I’m doing everything the instruction ask for but it isn’t working
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

$pathL = "e:/vfx/mans/maya/scripts/GIJoe.lights";
if its this, then you dont have to change the whole line, you just have to:
$pathL = "C:\Documents and Settings\chris\maya\4.0\scripts\GIJoe.lights";
you dont have to change the whole line!!!

it took me longer to read the instructions than to actually edit and install it....
it's not that hard!... at first I got an error because I didnt use the \\ slashes... but I did that and it worked
my line 57 in GIJOE.mel looks like this
-Emostring $pathL = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Maya\\My Documents\\maya\\4.5\\scripts\\GIJoe.lights";

Yeah, but no but yeah but no....
