eikonoklastes Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The issue arises after installing the Game Development Toolset. The old path was HOUDINI_PATH = $HOUDINI_PATH;$APPDATA\SideFX\GameDevToolset\17.5\1.163;& I modified it to be: HOUDINI_PATH = $APPDATA\SideFX\GameDevToolset\17.5\1.173;$HOUDINI_PATH; Everything works as expected now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Aren´t you setting up the default search folders with "&"? If I don´t append the "&" at the end, I can´t get houdini to work, but otherwise I can´t save the presets... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gui Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I figured it out. Just adding a space before the "&" did the trick. Edited July 22, 2019 by gui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burakumincgi Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 none of the above is working for me, can get Houdini to save as permanent default, I need that to save a license in a tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burakumincgi Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 found a solution, instead of pressing "Save as Permanent Default" just click on "save Preset" and then "Save as Permanent Default". no need to edit the env file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gui Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 yeah, but that shouldn´t be a problem. For other reasons, I changed the way I edit the HOUDINI_PATH env variable: I left the houdini.env as defaults, but used the new approach, with "packages". It´s cleaner and didn´t generate any permissions errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobc4d Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I was getting this error too. there was no path in "save preset to", once I did that it worked like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
