Greetings,
A couple weeks ago I picked up a copy of the Houdini Apprentice Edition at your Toronto office. Everything installed, licensed, and ran fine on my Windows 2000 machine. I recently upgraded to XP professional and am having problems running any of the programs. Firstly, the installer gives me a font installation error near the end of the installation.
Secondly, whenever I try to run any of the programs (Halo, Master, Select) I get multiple licensing errors and command line errors. It didn't give me the option to license for a non-commercial edition like it did when I had used it in Win 2000. I also get an error stating “cannot find houdini.exe”, but then Houdini Master will open, but upon clicking anything in the interface it will crash. I have a feeling most of the problems are stemming from the inability to license.
Please let me know what I can do to remedy this situation.
Thanks for your time,
Brad Abrahams

I'm having the same issue when I try to install mine. I can open up the program, but and error pops up that says that houdini.exe doesn't exist. I try to make some geometry, but nothing happens.
