After downloading PLE, installing, and the clicking on the Autodesk icon, I only get the Script Editor windows. Also, when I explore the Autodesk files in my Program Files folder, I don’t see any executable files, just plug-ins, tutoirials, brushes, etc.

Can you help?

hi there, i did not get to your stage as yet. But I was wondering if you had any cookie trouble while attempting to download the PLE?
For some reason I keep getting the cookie faq page, although i have set my browser to accept all cookies from alias.com

What version of the PLE is it?

PLE 8.5, which is the latest PLE on offer on autodesk’s site

Well, the only PLE I ever had on Wiindows XP was 7.5, so maybe it doesn’t work on XP, but why would they do that?
Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like when you open Maya?

that’s strange
the site clearly lists windows XP as the minimum requirement for the PLE 8.5

Anyway - I will fire it up tonight and grab a screenshot for you
cheers
