Maya 2024 PyMel crashing Maya on Windows

[IRONIC3D]

Hey Everyone.

Vanilla Maya 2024. No plugins installed beside Arnold, Bifrost and Maya USD. Everything is working like a charm and not problems what so ever. Then I realise that PyMel is not installed (Yes I tried to install a script), but Maya complained that PyMel is not installed. So I opened my command prompt and fired the command to install PyMel. Everything looked fine and start Maya, crash before launching. Tried several time and sent a report, tried rebooting and the same. Uninstall PyMel and Maya 2024 is back functioning again.

What happened?! None of the beta testers had any PyMel scripts around?

Thank you,

Iyad

It looks that PyMel cache needs to be updated to Maya 2024. Anyway, this solution worked very well for me.
