trying to configure Space Navigator Maya 2012

For Maya 2012

I am trying to configure Space Navigator for Maya 2012

I have installed the drivers…3DxSoftware32_v3_-17-6_r1586.exe

I have copied the usersetup.mel to the Autodesk/Maya/scripts/startup directories
The plug in 3dxMaya.mll is missing.

Response….// Error: The specified procedure could not be found.
(3DxMaya)

I have followed these forum instructions…
1. Close Maya
2.Stop the driver [Start|All Programs|3Dconnexion |Driver| Stop Driver]
3. Right click on "3dxsrv.exe" , choose Properties --> select the Compatibility tab --> select Run as administrator [C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion|\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxWare\3dxsrv.exe]
4. Start the driver [Start|All Programs|3Dconnexion |Driver| Stop Driver]
5. Restart Maya.

I have entered MagellanStartup in the Mel command line and I get this response….
// Error: Cannot find procedure "MagellanStartup".

I am running Intel(R) Core ™ 2 Quad CPU
Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
2.4 GHz. 3.5 GB Ram
Quadro 4500 512 mg Ram

I have run the repair mode to reinstall…..3DxSoftware32_v3_-17-6_r1586.exe
Still no 3dxMaya.mll

What would you recommend now?

Also, I cannot register my device....Error. "The system cannot find the file specified" running http://www.3dconexion.com/inc/Registrat ... 3DX_SW_COM....

I could not find a way to register on the 3dconnexion website. Wondering why.

Thank you,

Hello Michael -

It is possible that your Maya path is different than the one the installer
expects.

You can use the following steps for a manual installation of the Maya
2012plug-in :

1.Locate the 3dx plug-in file 3DxMaya.mll for Maya 2012. The default path is
C:|Program Files-->3Dconnexion-->
3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware-->3DxMaya64-->x64-->Maya2012 and copy it to your Maya
"bin-->plug-ins" directory.

2. Copy the melscripts from C:-->Program Files-->3Dconnexion-->3Dconnexion
3DxSoftware-->3DxMaya64-->scripts
to the "scripts-->startup" sub-directory of Maya

3. Copy the bitmap files from C:\Program Files-->3Dconnexion-->3Dconnexion
3DxSoftware-->3DxMaya64-->icons
to to the Maya "icons" directory

Once you have the files copied that installs the plugin - it still needs to be
loaded in Maya. If it is not loading automatically with the usersetup.mel ,
enter MagellanStartup again at the command line and this time it should find
3DxMaya.mll present.
