problems upgrading maya

[peyton4596]

So I'm trying to upgrade my maya from 2015 to 2016 and since i got rid of the maya 2015 app and downloaded the 2016, maya doesn't want to open and has been giving me these errors every time i launch 2016 up. I really need help! I've already contacted agents from autodesk but they said it would take 24 hours to get back.!

Hi!

Make sure to install the latest Service Pack available for your Maya Version and try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2017 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2017 to 2017_backup. Maya creates new folders. Detailed at:
