check Vray build for different Maya version under Windows 10

[jasonhuang1115]

Hi,

My new box arrives with Windows 10. As I install both Maya 2014 with Vray 3.4.06 and Maya 2017 with 3.5 nightly build, I couldn't find which version of nightly build is running as usual.
I go to start menu and all Vray installations of different Maya version are all under "Chaos Group" group. In Windows 7, there will be sub-folders of Maya 2014 and Maya 2017.
Most importantly, in Windows 10 I can only find one V-Ray standalone command prompt, which only tells me exactly which Vray build I install Maya 2014, not Maya 2017. Can anyone shed some light on how I can find the Vray build that is installed on Maya 2017?
no sub-folders for different V-Ray for Maya install
only one V-Ray standalone command prompt now (and it's for V-Ray for Maya 2014)

I have the same problem with almost any other application that has multiple releases (3ds max, Maya, Visual Studio etc). Usually I either put a shortcut on the desktop to run what I need, or navigate manually to c:\program files\...

Thanks Vlado. I replicate the shortcut of Windows 7 in Windows 10 and able to run V-Ray standalone command prompt for Maya 2017 now. Lucky that I still have a Win 7 box running so I can refer to that...

Another way to quickly access the correct executable/shortcut would be (on windows) to go to %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Chaos Group (which is the location of the folder in the start menu > programs the way it was on win7).

Sweet! Thanks Yolov.
