1. MSI Information
• The Base, Docs and DocServer MSI's were repackaged from the original media with Installshield AdminStudio.
• All Shortcuts were removed due to build problems as well as common practices (i.e. removing uninstall Maya, etc.).
• Maya Unlimited 5.0 and Maya FCheck Shortcuts were added to AllUsers Programs Aliaswavefront
• This Isscript and Shader Library MSI's are from the vendor with no modifications (the provided base installer did not work).
• To install the entire Maya suite you need:
  • Base - \dfs\MSI\ACST\aliaswavefront_maya_50\base\Maya.msi
  • Document Server - \docserver\Maya DocServer.msi
  • Documents - \docs\Maya Docs.msi
  • Shader Library - \shaderlib\isscript.msi (*must be installed before Maya Shader Library)
  • Shader Library - \shaderlib\Maya Shader Library for Maya.msi
2. Configuration Issues
• Included in this MSI is the creation of the FLEXLM directory and the addition of the license server file aw_winsoap.dat which connects to the Architecture key server.
• The MSI also contains a custom action (perl \\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\scripts\maya_mit_setup\maya_mit_setup.pl) which sets the shortcut working directories to H:\WinData\My Documents\. Maya will keep it's preferences wherever the working directory of the shortcut is set, so if this is not H: the settings will not roam with the users.
• You may want to add "c:\aw\maya5.0\bin\" to the path.
