Mtoa 5 won't load, Maya 2022

Latest Mtoa simply won't load. I tried all I could find on the web, uninstalled both Maya(2022) and Arnold multiple times, no success. Interestingly, version 4 installs and runs with no problems.

initializePlugin function failed (mtoa)

What's logged in the script history?

Check the enviroment variable settings in Maya. For example, on Windows, run the MEL command system("set"). Look at PATH in particular.

Again, if on Windows, get a Process Monitor log

Hi Stephen, thank you for you reply, I managed to get it working. I did another round of uninstalls/install, but this time I uninstalled Python as well and installed it and it's all working now - I had multiple different versions of it installed (not sure why would that be possible) The path was set correctly.
