Hi,

Are you saying this doesn't work?

mayaLocation = os.environ['MAYA_LOCATION']

Where are you running this Python? In Maya? Because MAYA_LOCATION is set by Maya when Maya starts up.
If you try to get MAYA_LOCATION from outside the Maya process, you won't get anything.

In that case, check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Maya\2022\Setup\InstallPath
