edward Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I'm usinig 7.0.231 on WinXP and it works fine ... Are you on Linux? After you source houdini_setup (or houdini_setup_bash), check to make sure your JAVA_HOME environment is pointing at the right thing.

George Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 How/where do you set this kind of variables under Win2000/XP? 15417[/snapback] The environment variables in Windows are accessible from Control Panel, System, Advanaced tab, Environment Variables (button at the bottom). Of course if you are using cygwin or something similar, you can just use the shell's environment variables as in Linux. Hope that helps.

deecue Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 hey birras, if you want to find out the 8-character version of your windows folder/file names (i.e. program files/documents and settings), you can always find out at the command prompt. there are two different command prompts for XP, the old and the new. The old diplays the 8-character folders at the prompt where as the new one shows the full length folder name with spaces. the old one is 'command' and the new one is 'cmd'. it doesn't matter which one you use because you can still find out what the 8-character equivilant is on either one. so just go to start menu->run and type 'command' or 'cmd' and hit enter. you will start off in your user directory. you will use the 'dir /x' to see a listing of files and folders in the current folder you are in and will also see a column with the 8-character equiv's. so if you want to know program files or whatever, just type 'chdir c:\' enter and then 'dir /x' to see the listing of folders with a column based on the 8-character version. You see program files and see what the 8-character version is next to it. For example program files is progra~1, not programm~. And documents and settings is docume~1, not documents~. hth, dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
