Maya Plug-in Wizard 2.0(32 bit version)
 
 
 

The Microsoft Visual Studio 8 version of the Maya plug-in wizard for this release is contained in the MayaPluginWizard2.0.zip file. This wizard is HTML based and contains several files and directories that must be copied into the Microsoft Visual Studio 8 install.

To install and run the Maya plug-in wizard do the following:

  1. Unzip the MayaPluginWizard2.0.zip file.
  2. Copy the following files to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcprojects directory:

    MayaPluginWizard.vsdir

    MayaPluginWizard.vsz

    MayaPluginWizard.ico

  3. Copy the MayaPluginWizard directory to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards.
  4. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 8 and invoke File -> New -> Project -> Visual C++ Projects and select MayaPluginWizard.
  5. Enter a name and solution name and select the OK button.
  6. Fill in the information for the Plug-in setup screen and then select the Plug-in type and Included libraries links to also enter the required information.
  7. The project will be created and then the solution can updated and built.
NoteAt this time the Maya install process will not copy the wizard files into the appropriate Microsoft Visual Studio 8 directories. This process is manual. If you are working with an non-english installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 8, then you may have to alter the directories that the files are copied into above.
