	If the "Cannot determine the Maya environment" message keeps popping up, add a MAYA_LOCATION environment variable pointing to your Maya7 folder, like C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya7 or wherever you installed it to.		If the "Cannot determine the Maya environment" message keeps popping up, add a MAYA_LOCATION environment variable pointing to your Maya7 folder, like C:\Program Files\Alias\Maya7 or wherever you installed it to.

			One user (amita12) reported that the exporter didn't work for him unless the Maya program was installed to a different location (it was installed in "Program Files" before). It maybe that the spaces in the path prevented the exporter from working.

	''Note that this paragraph doesn't apply anymore for TDM, but it might be of interest for other mods, so I'll leave it --greebo'' In another instance, Doom 3 was trying to access a registry entry called HKLM\SOFTWARE\Alias\|WaveFront\Maya, so I looked in the registry and found the real entry was HKLM\SOFTWARE\Alias\|WaveFront\Archives\Maya, and I figured it just wanted the INSTALLDIR item out of it, so I made another HKLM\SOFTWARE\Alias\|WaveFront\Maya path for it and put an INSTALLDIR there - then when I ran exportModels it then got a bit further, and asked me to specify the maya folder (bringing up a dialogue box) so I did (same folder as was in the key...) and away it went.
