I have previously used Houdini engine in maya with no problems a while back, so am not sure what the problem currently is. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin just in case. When I load my HDA with the Maya Houdini engine plugin I get this error from the maya script editor.

// Error: Could not instantiate asset: Benjamin::Sop/test::1.0
// in OTL file: C:/Users/Benjamin/Downloads/sop_Benjamin.test.1.0.hda
// Error: HAPI Error: Error running C:/Users/Benjamin/htoa/htoa-6.3.6.0_rdb9241e_houdini-20.5.445.py310/htoa-6.3.6.0_rdb9241e_houdini-20.5.445.py310/scripts/obj/geo.py:

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Ben
