Can't install Maya (Legacy) connector 200.4

Hi,
I when I update the connector from versions 1.xxx to 2.xxx it dissapears from Maya 2023.

I tried reinstalling it from the scratch multiple times with and without the bifrost and usd plugins installed. I also did multiple clean reinstallation of the whole Omniverse package. Still no luck

Are you trying to have two versions of the Maya Connector installed or only Maya Legacy Connector v200.4?

We have added a feature to the installation process that only one version of the Maya Connector is installed so previous versions are removed/uninstalled when the new version is installed. Is it possible this is the issue your are running into?

Hi @kecollins thanks for your response!

I always uninstall the previous version before updating it to the newer one.

This is pretty annoying. All other connectors install seamlessly, Maya is the only one I have had an issue with. I’ve un/reinstalled 3 times and even tried installing on a new computer and it still gives the same error message: Autodesk Maya is currently not installed. How fix? I need to get to work =(

The Maya Connector needs registry information to find out Maya 2023/2024 installation path. Maybe your Registry is different. Then you can create this registry key and make the Maya Connector find it.
And you do not have to uninstall Maya Connector via Launcher. You can go to the Maya Connector installed path and run MayaSetup.exe after you add the registry key.
As a reference, this reg file is generated based on my Registry key. You can modify it in a plain text editor to fit your Maya and write it to registry.

If Maya Connector fails to install via Launcher because of Maya missing issue, you can create the above Registry first and then install Maya Connector via Launcher.

I hope your friends tell you how dope you are everyday. Easiest fix ever, Thanks!

Glad that it fixes your problem. If you have time, can you tell me what is the Registry path of Maya installation path on your PC? I do not know that Autodesk Maya makes it different on some PCs.
