Issue with Maya LiveLink plugin with Unreal Engine v5.1

Development Pipeline & Plugins
1

We are trying to install Maya LiveLink Plugin v2 for Unreal Engine v5.1. While installation we are getting error popup mentioning that “Installation not found - No Unreal Engine installation found. Please install Unreal Engine first”. However we have properly installed UE 5.1 in our system & its working fine.

When try to do the live link connectivity between Maya & UE5, the connection is not establishing & we are not able to see the any link value in “Message Bus Source” after opening the Live link from UE 5.1

PFA screenshot for your reference.

Hi, finally found out the problem I think. I’m just Trying to learn how to install it right now and I finally found the issue.
They said they fully recompile Maya Live Link for 5.1 so you will find the new installer here https://apps.autodesk.com/en/Detail/Index?id=2689106265771258085&appLang=en&os=Win64&autostart=true
(it was in the documentation here Live Link Stream Maya to Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation)
But then to open it into Maya it is written everywhere that you have to write MayaLiveLinkUI in a MEL Script command but it is actually MayaUnrealLiveLinkUI.

Hope this help.

To add a reply to my reply, I just followed this guyz tutorial for the rest : THE LIVE LINK Plugin for Unreal/Maya - The best plugin for Visualizing your Animations in Engine! - YouTube
It works like a charm.
Have fun
