1. How to change default Maya path?

   

   Topic by [Deleted User] · May 2013 · Home› Unity

   Hi guys, I installed Maya 2011 to play around with Valve plugins. But now Unity is using it as the default Maya to do it's tasks in. I'd like to restore it to 2014. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks!

   Thanks m4dcow, worked perfect for those that when choosing the default maya program it wont update. didn't even have to restart.

   Should be able to right click > Open with > Choose default program... > Select Maya 2014 exe and make sure you tick "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".

   What does Windows open if you double click a maya file? I think Unity uses whatever the default program for the file format is...

   Run regedit.exe, and look in HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\ for MayaAsciiFile & MayaBinaryFile and change the path in shell/open/command. That should do the trick but you may have to restart windows for changes to happen.

   Hi, I've tried this already but it just directs to Maya 2011.

   Hi, Don't know much about Unity yet, but maybe it's using environment variables, such as 'MAYA_LOCATION' to work out where Maya is? Or maybe one of the reg keys, MAYA_INSTALL_LOCATION?
