davpe Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I've seen this before and setting environment variable HOUDINI_ACCESS_METHOD = 2 in my houdini.env file has solved the issue in my particular case. from the docs: HOUDINI_ACCESS_METHOD This value can be 0 (the default), 1, or 2. It selects the method used by Houdini to check file and directory permissions under Windows. 0 checks the permissions of the current user against the Windows user and group permissions set for the file in question. This method may be slow on machines that use a network login server. 1 uses a different method for checking the Windows user and group permissions, but relies on functionality that is broken in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2. Method 2 simply checks the file attributes. This method is fast, but ignores the user and group permissions, and so may report that some files or directories can be written to when actually they cannot.
