                        Hi Ronan, which version of Houdini are you currently using?

                        The latest, 17.5.389. I've tried on four different 17.5 build but always the same error.

                        By any chance do you have multiple drives on your machine? Are your projects stored on another drive other than C:\?

                        Could you please attach a screenshot of the work item attributes? You can access this by CTRL+MMB clicking the work item in the Wait for All node.

                        Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. There is nothing more at the bottom of the window, if this what you mean !
