I was workin in maya, setting up another scene with shave and a haircut and all the sudden this error message

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/JoeAlter/shaveHaircut/maya2009/scripts/shaveUI.mel line 6190: Error evaluating argument at position 1 in procedure "cleanupTmpDir"

The plugin can still be activated and all the shelves and menubars are included, but no hair setups anymore and you can't create anything. Even opening an old scene ends up with empty geometry and no hair curves at all...

this is pretty annoying to have this problem during a long eastern weekend with no hope for an admin to reinstall... awesome!

is there maybe any workaround?

Thansk a lot

Maybe I am too late to come, but yesterday I encounter the same issue. However there is no problem with other scenes. So finally I worked out with this method:


Export the individual growth geometry to a new scene. Keep the "export input history node" option unchecked.
Open the exported scene and create shave hair on it. Save.
Back to the original scene, inport the modified scene, you will get the shave hair on the geometry. Do some cleaning up.

Hope that helps if you still have no idear with it.:)
