The Microsoft Visual
Studio 9 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 9 install.
To install and run the Maya plug-in wizard
do the following:
- Unzip the MayaPluginWizard2.0.zip file.
- Copy the following files to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\VC\vcprojects directory:
MayaPluginWizard.vsdir
MayaPluginWizard.vsz
MayaPluginWizard.ico
- Copy the MayaPluginWizard directory
to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9\VC\VCWizards.
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio 9 and invoke
File -> New -> Project -> Visual C++ Projects and select
MayaPluginWizard.
- Enter a name and solution name and select
the OK button.
- 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.
- 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 9 directories. This process is manual. If
you are working with an non-english installation of Microsoft Visual
Studio 9, then you may have to alter the directories that the files
are copied into above.
