Hey all,

I'm trying to set the environment variable HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR - to a specific folder.

I have other environment variables working perfectly, but I cannot get this one to work regardless of whether I use a windows environment variable or place this inside the Houdini.env,

Everytime I open Houdini and check the shell using hconfig, it says my temp directory is set to the default directory,

does anyone have any ideas? My only guess is this is being set elsewhere and their fore overriding my manually created env varaibles.

(Ive checked spelling etc. and this is what my windows env variable looks like; name = ‘HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR’, value = ‘D:\Houdiniprefs’ )

Thanks
Chris.
