Hi,

I'm having a bit of problem installing Hqueue on osx, and was wondering whether anyone had got it working and if so how they did so.

The problem is this: if I install Houdini without Hqueue everything goes fine. If I install it with Hqueue the installer errors out with a “The installer encountered an error that cause the installation to fail” message. This is on a clean install of osx, the only thing that I've done is run software update.

I did find this thread [sidefx.com] which seems to be having a similar problem, and it would appear that it was a known bug.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck installing Hqueue on OSX?

Houdini build: 11.0.733
OSX: 10.6.07

This problem is know since the beginning.
Here is a mail reply i received from SideFX (July 27 2010):

Thank you for reporting this to us. We are working on a fix, (ID# 40741).

We are still waiting for this fix !

You're not using apprentice, are you? There a few things you can try in the first place:

Install houdini first and skip the hqueue
Install hserver and activate the license
Once the license is set up and you are able to run houdini try running installer again this time choosing only hqueue.

I remember the upgrade (option) didn't work for me too so I've been always choosing a full install.

Again since it was some time ago I don't exactly remember all details, sorry.
