Hi list,
I am having a torrid time with $HSITE ! . I have mapped a drive on windows 10 ie
S: \\somemachine\Users\someuser\project
Then is the Houdini.env file I set $HSITE to be $HSITE = //somemachine/Users/someuser/project/Pipeline/houdini
No matter what I try booting up Houdini it fails to find the path to some site wide tools > The folder structures and version numbers match.
can anyone give me a how to for this ?

Mapped drives on Windows aren't too great in general. Some ideas to check out:
- Try setting HSITE into the OS Environment Variables instead of houdini.env
- Ensure that your mapped drive is on the same user that's using Houdini since they're user specific
- When you map the drive, ensure that the option to have it available at logon time is enabled. Re-logon to double-check.
- Now check that your UNC path is correct. Start up Command Line Tools and cd to it, taking care to use backslashes instead of forward slashes since this is a Windows shell. eg. cd \\somemachine\Users\someuser\project\Pipeline\houdini
- Now run “hconfig -ap | more” and double-check that your $HSITE is being picked up.
