Ok, i finally obtained a copy of maya 2015, but the animations, similar to what the OP said, are not being created at all.
1, it didnt create an extra folder.
2) when i do it from the base file, it runs some things with a white box, and then an empty command box pops up, in the location, i can find base files, but not animation files
3) when i run MLE from the animation file, nothing happens.
this is what the console says after attempting to run mle on the animation file
