Trying to Install Mgear and recieving error about "BaseExpression"

[msween301]

ive been attempting to install Mgear to use a model from agora. I've gotten the recent version of pymel installed and downloaded mgear 4.2.2 but when I use the "drag and drop" file I'm given a error message saying the file location of where I have the mgear file and " catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed"

if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong id appreciate a response

Same here.. Don't know the solution but it will work with Maya 2023!

@msween301 @szadani 
an alternative way is to create a .bat file with the mgear information where it is located and the maya executable.

@ECHO OFF

set MAYA_MODULE_PATH= C:\Users\youruser\Documents\mgear_4.2.2
set MGEAR_SHIFTER_CUSTOMSTEP_PATH=C:\Users\youruser\Documents\Mgear\Rigging\build
rem set MGEAR_SHIFTER_COMPONENT_PATH=
set MAYA_DISABLE_CLIC_IPM=1
set MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1
set MAYA_DISABLE_CER=1
set MAYA_NO_WARNING_FOR_MISSING_DEFAULT_RENDERER=1

start "" "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2023\bin\maya.exe"
