It won't work with "Documents and Settings". Make a folder at "C:/" called GIJoe and put the GIJoe.lights file in it. The edit the script to "C:/GIJoe/GIJoe.lights"

ok done that now i opened script editor then opened file then went to open script and pointed to the Gijoe mel script
but nothing happened.

// modify here the path of the imported scene.
string $pathL = "C:/GIJoe/GIJoe.lights";

ok so you put the GIJoe.lights in C:/GIJoe/GIJoe.lights. Then open notepad and open the script file change the path on line 57. Click save. Then reload maya. The type "GI_Joe;" in the command line.

hmm the command line been the box below the script editor?
