Hello folks,   
I am having hard time trying to install sIBL for maya 2011 on win7.Though followed some articles regarding installation, i could not really get to it. so kindly guide me in installation. BTW below is my config and how i tried installing it.
My config - Win7(sp1)x32;Maya2011; I generally have programs installed on different folder(d:)
as sIBL4 was x64 i tried with sIBL 3.5.0.. installed SIBL3 on d:Programfiles. upon starting gui, i connected it to the default starter pack provided.
later comes my difficult part.as per some references, when tried coping the loader script folder link inside maya it said it was an invalid folder. is it because i installed on different folder(d:)?

So anybody kindly guide me through step by step instructions and folder setups...What are the files to be downloaded for my configuration and where...waiting your responses.
Thanks in advance

hey Blochi , thanks for your early reply.Though i had connected the exe path, the loader script path was also entered to which it said invalid path. C:\Users\$Users\AppData\Roaming\HDRLabs\sIBL_GUI\io\loaderScripts.
Is it because i have installed maya and sIbl in different drive other than c:. A little bit of confusion.
I have maya 2011 32bit,and sIBL_GUI 3.5.0.
1.the helper script installed shows GUI 4 in maya shelf.
2.when the second icon is launched it it shows 3.5.0 and while it loads it says change.log is not found on this server or something like that.(I hv downloaded the change.log but dont know where to save it)
3.when in second tab(export in 3.5.0). I select maya mr standard and an IBL set. and when trying to send to maya , it says 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'. also it says the same thing when output loader script is clicked.
what am i doing wrong to get this error. can you pls let me know the workaround.Phew! installation is producing more bugs than the maya bugs itself. I dont know what versions needs to be installed.

Thanks again.

Voila!! Thanks a ton Kel.Works like charm and I couldn't wait to start."Here i come IBL sets..wait for me". Anyways thanks again for the wonderful resource Mr. Kel Soolar.

Mates!! anyone having the same issue follow Kel's steps.I proved to be a successful follower.

Well, and my advise would be to update Maya.

Not only because you miss out on all the new feature goodness Kel keeps adding to sIBL, but also because Maya 2013 finally looks like a usable application.

Oh ok thanks.. i wud certainly try to move to 64bit. seems latest versions has much more ingredients for better IBL recipes.well maya mr lightsmith must be in gui4..

Kel !! though i am not aware of the pain and complexity involved in creating these,i am just of the opinion that the installation part can be made easy for us being reached as a standalone app thereby reaching more users. like- a single installation ; users get a handful of customizing options to their core needs(along with some descriptions,warnings of overwriting,etc). Again its just an opinion if there were any feedback section.

anyways thanks again
