Copy the GIJoe_icon.bmp into the 'icons' directory of the install directory of Maya (i.e.: drive:\AW\extras\icons)
with notepad edit the mel script and search the string 'your_script_directory_path/GIJoe.lights' (located in line 57)
Replace the existing path by your own script path (ex: d:/Maya/scripts/GIJoe.lights) . notice how its / not \. so D:\ would be incorrect , D:/ would be right. the slashes that is.
- Start a Maya session, and open the script editor by going to Window / General Editors / Script Editor. Once script editor is open , goto file / open script. open up the GI_Joe mel script , once its open goto script / execute. Once you have done that , use the command box at the bottom of the screen and type GI_Joe
its case sensitive so GI_Joe
dont take my word for it though, im sure there is a easier way , but whenever i type source GI_Joe it doesnt work. im sure someone here should know why

How do I find the icons directory? I can't even find the install directory of maya. You wrote down the same instructions from the site I downloaded the GI_Joe script from. The instructions are too hard for me to follow at this time, sorry.
I can't go any further on this until I get more info on it.

File > Source Script
As long as all the files associated with the MEL are in the same directory, after you source it, just type GI_Joe; in the command line.
