Here is some tips for setting up mental ray standalone for maya users successfully.

1- After installing and licensing mental ray standalone, Start SPM service. (type: services.msc in command prompt, find SPM and start it).

2- Do not forget to set SPM_HOST in environment variables.

-Let's suppose that your Mental ray Standalone is installed in "D:\\Program Files\\Aliasmentalray\\3.45".

3- Set and Environment variable as below:

Variable name: MI_ROOT

5- Add this value to path Variable:

6- Copy your shaders lib and include files in D:Program\\FilesAlias\\mentalray3.45\\lib and include. (I suppose that you already installed your shaders for maya)
